📝 P R O J E C T D E T A I L S
I was contacted by a viewer about potentially detailing his prized Golf R. I jumped at the opportunity because I have a real soft spot for these amazing cars. This one is exceptionally gorgeous in the deep Lapiz blue. I performed a full exterior detail over the course of three days and the results were highly satisfying. I ran into some issues with a very finicky PPF clear bra. No matter what spray I used on the film, it would cloud up and I was forced to polish the "stain" out. Other than that, it went really well. The owner of this car takes great care of the car, but he wanted me to take it to the next level. Judging from his reaction, I was successful.

I really think it is because we send cheapskates to the factories to place our bulk orders and they are always in search of ways to keep their costs down so they can make more money. I wasn't able to get a few options on my SQ5 because Audi Canada decided (for some reason) to order theirs with no dynamic steering, dynamic front indicators, self-park, or cordless phone charger. (Just to name a few). Plus, Canada had a fraction of the colour options available globally. So frustrating.

Great video! Love that color blue. That guy must have driven through a lot of road repaving to get that much tar. The tire covers are new? What was your thinking on those? Curious. Thanks again! 👍😎

@RADGarage 3 жыл бұрын

His car was sitting in a lot while the lot next door was being repaved. It was really nasty stuff. My Gyeon Q2M Tar remover wasn't up to the task. I had to bring in the steam and use it in conjunction with the remover. I really need to up my "tar game". The wheel covers were primarily for the polishing step, but the Adam's one-step process generates virtually no dust so they weren't really necessary. I keep them on for the wash since I was performing a clay treatment on the car and wouldn't be pulling out the Master Blaster so it saved me from having to dry them a second time. Not sure I'm explaining that properly.

I agree that it is a top choice for a fun daily driver. The fact you can't get one in Canada with a sunroof just baffles me though. That black trim just set the car off in my opinion. So well conceived and executed. I'd be happy with one as a second car when that time comes.

@nickcoughlan5868 3 жыл бұрын

@@RADGarage Yes it'd be a hoon on old banff coach road! Yes it's unfortunate about the sunroof but it was a necessary casualty to its admission to the North American Market. Being built on the same tools as the E-Golf was an important factor in their decision to bring the car here, and it ended up bringing the benefit of a wonderful array of "spectrum" colours which were originally a part of the E-Golf marketing plan. My fave... Irish Green! Lapiz blue is the quintessential Mk7/7.5 Golf R colour though!

I can divulge my trade secrets! Just kidding. I have a few motorized camera dollies that I set up and operate via remote control. The static shots are simply done with a tripod. It adds a lot of time to overall project, but I can't resist going for that artistic shot! Thanks for noticing my extra effort with regard to the video I capture.

@RADGarage 3 жыл бұрын

What can I say? That's the ultimate compliment and I thank you very much. When starting out with videos, I just set my camera up on a tripod and took pretty basic video. I was actually quite embarrassed by the quality of my earlier content, but you have to start somewhere. With each new upload, I tried to make improvements and try new things, and now I feel like my stuff is worth being proud of. My advice to anyone is just do it. Don't overanalyze it. You get better with experience but you have to just do it. Thanks again for the supportive feedback. Take care, Rick.

No, it works pretty good for me. The water evaporates a little bit, but most just flows out the door. It has been really muggy here lately so it has been a bit uncomfortable, but no moisture issues due to the usually dry air up here.

Awesome work Rick, watched few of your VAG featured vehicle videos. My gosh where has this car been parked, never seen so much tar on 1 car and so new. I have a non related question about your floor, how does the water drain under the tiles , you have a special drain underneath or???

@RADGarage 3 жыл бұрын

If I recall correctly, the owner of that car parks next to a parking lot that was being re-paved and some collateral tar pieces ended up all over his car. Just one more challenge of owning a car in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Easily the worst place to be a car guy! There is no drain at this time, but I am going to be putting a trench/catch basin system in very soon. For now, the water just slowly flows under the floor out the door.

Hey Rick... this is cool...I would thoroughly enjoy your insight on care and maintenance of clear bra/ PPF protected vehicles. Also wondered if you usually restrict Quickjack usage to your personal vehicles... I have a pair these days most cars jacking points are certainly different... Really enjoy the transition you made a few months ago with more narration... Keep up the super work...

@RADGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. For my personal vehicle, I treat the PPF like paint and ceramic coat it and I will give it a light polish. The film on this R wouldn't stand for even the lightest of polishes. So, it really depends on your film. I don't often want to use the QuickJack on vehicles belonging to others because of the point you made regarding jacking points. How terrible would I feel if I inadvertently caused damage to a car? Unless it is a friend I know very well, I prefer to keep the car on the ground. Not that I don't trust the QJ, I just don't trust my luck! Yeah, the videos have a bit more variety, so I will continue to evolve and react to what viewers suggest. Thanks for stopping by.

@grogfisher 3 жыл бұрын

@@RADGarage Thanks for your reply.. I have a Soul Red Mazda Miata... I had the entire hood and front quarter panels done with the rest of the car uncovered.. I have another vehicle that I had entirely PPF'd along with a ceramic coating. I must admit with the entire car "protected," I don't stress about it... But, there is the side of me that enjoys the challenging aspect of caring for bare clear coat... Take care .

@RADGarage 3 жыл бұрын

I understand your point very well. Protection is great but when you enjoy the maintenance process you are denying yourself the opportunity to do what you enjoy. It's a no-win situation! But, it's also a no-loss situation.

@RADGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Not yet! I have a water drainage project lined up for sometime this Fall. Currently, the water just hits the floor and flows out the door, but I will having a company rip out the floor at the front of the garage and repour it with a channel and catch basin to "catch" the water. This will eliminate the annoying water freezing in the winter under the door. Stay tuned. In the meantime, have you seen my Garage Tour Video?
