Satan's Passat + coming soon...
 

Last week Satan himself :devil: showed up at my house, disguised as a close friend of mine. He apologized in advance for the burden he was to put on me with his sin-mobile, but he's known to exaggerate things a bit when it comes to the condition of the cars he gives me, though this time... he wasn't joking. This car was a taxi, but for some reason it was out of work and sat under a gang of trees for more than 1 year... need I say more? Here's the pics:

He was kind enough to take it through the automatic car wash before he delivered it to me :). Some almost fossilized leaves...

Soaking in a heavy mix of Super Foam and APC

My beer slave earning his pints... yes, I slapped him (on his fresh tattoo :)) for resting the hose on the car. We decided to use running water only during the claying process, as it gives a much better bite. Claying time was about 5 hours...

Some of the sap had to be removed with 2500 grit sandpaper

The sap that was in the boot had to be removed by plucking off the head of the bead of sap, then with clay...

Some Anal-B oral thread to remove the numbering that was on the car...

I did a 2-stage polish on this automatic car wash queen using InstaFinish #15 and a cutting pad then with InstaFinish #15 and a polishing pad. Came out quite nice, but not completely scratch-free because my friend knows how much it would cost to make it scratch-free :D.

Holy hell. I hope you charged him a ton of $$$ for that job. Rep for you, that is like a brand new car sitting there.

Wow Great Work!! I would've looked at that and Said "Burn It!"

Damn, you did a great job on that car! What dressing did you use on the grille of that car ?

Cheers Gobbles' I actually enjoyed detailing it, despite being very time consuming!

Thanks mate! Well, being that it was Satan's car it wouldn't burn so I had no choice but to detail it :)!

Thanks Tsar! I used InstaFinish Premium Protect All... wicked stuff and smells great too :). Diluted with a bit of H2O and it becomes a matt dressing.

nice work!

Damn bro, you have a lot more patience than I do! Spectacular job!

I'm excited for the Spyker detail thread!
