Volkswagen Golf GTi mk2

The old skool sleeper

Something a bit different from us here, the owner of this tidy little number contacted us to help get it in shape ready for sale, as im currently working on my own little MK2 project i was pretty interested in this one, so after a bit of a chat we decided to get it in for a one day “dusk till dawn” type enhancement treatment, and do what we could with it in a day:

On arrival:

Packing a bit of heat ;) (this woke me up in the morning driving it in to work i can tell you)

First up was the rims, using Imperial:

Shuts and engine pre sprayed with Citrus Power:

Jet washed down and the washed TBM with a drop of Lather:

Once all cleaned and rinsed off, we set about claying the paintwork:

Dried off and taped up we cracked out the machines and a bottle of Rejuvenate and a polishing pad and set about knocking some of the swirling and hazing out of the paintwork & adding some clarity to it:

Before:

After:

Ben got busy polishing up the tail pipes:

And the trim with a bit of Revive

We managed to source a set of original centre caps as one was missing:

Add a couple of coats of spirit:

Detail the interior:

And this is how it came up:

Obviously alot more than the stages pictured went in to this job, the interior was fully cleaned (as you can see) the bay had alot of cleaning and polishing from Mike) and the trim etc had a very detailed clean prior to applying dressings to get it just right, but with just a day to turn it around and 3 of us all working on it at times i could only get pictures of so much.

I hope you enjoyed the write up, we have a few more “dusk till dawn” turn arounds to show you.
