My Intro
Greetings everone,
I am new to this forum and very new the passion / hobby of detailing. I basically started investigating detailing methods during my first ever total respray project (a rally car) where I found various paint defects (orange peel etc.) and was too lazy to respray the car for a second time Anyway, since then I have been a keen follower of the detailing threads (especially by Carn) on the VWClub forum. I have attempted a few smaller details on my GTI, and as it goes I ended up purcahsing more tools and more products with time... This past December I did my first two "bigger" jobs on some family owned vehicles (Details here: Part 1 and Part 2) I am still learning as I go along and will appreciate any feedback or comments. I must say, this is one hobby where the amount of information / experiences shared is amazing and the quality with which work is documented is second to none. Anyway, I am sure I will be learning a lot of new things here! Cheers, Paul [Rally1] |

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum. Some impressive work in the two details which you've linked to. I really appreciate the attention to detail that you put in on the Merc.
As Dave said, an entry into the detailing competition would be good. |

RE: My Intro
Hi Paul and welcome dude.
In short, your detail of the Merc has left me speechless. You have worked some serious magic on that car. I love it. I'd buy it. What a classic restored to its former glory. Well done ! In fact, that detail should win the first competition hands down. No need for anyone else to even try. Wow. Job fcuking well done @Dave - where's my last touch brother ? I'm running low on Rinseless wash stocks |

RE: My Intro
WOW
Thanks again for the welcome and possitive feedback guys! It is great to hear that you guys (who are the Pro's) approve of my work. If required, I will copy the original posts from the VW Forum and post here as well. Please let me know if I must do this. @TheWusman, It is actually crazy what those old Merc's go for. I was looking at their market values while I did that detail. You can pick up a decent (1989-1991 - 230E/300E) for less than R30k and make it look like new again. You can then have a true classic car with excellent features and a very comfy ride for less than a 1988 Citi Golf! |
