Detailer's Domain: VW R32 - Winter Prep - einszett
My very own R32 Winter Prep (with einszett)
I guess this is about the only time I will be able to do my car, when its snowing out.
No clay or paint correction needed at this point, however I will do some paint correction after the winter. It will need 2 steps.
My major concern was to clean off the salt and protect the car.
What was done -
Exterior
- Wheels were prepped with P21S Wheel Gel and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Washed with ONR
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Dried
- Quick Polish for einszett Paint
- Wheels protected with einszett Spray Wax
- Protected with einszett Glanz
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned
Interior Detail
- All interior surfaces cleaned and protected, including glass, and all
vinyl/plastic surfaces. (einszett Cockpit)
- Carpets and upholstery vacuumed.

you don't have to follow the video to exactly when there is more dirt/salt on the car I do try to flood the panels with a ton of ONR and really really wet towels once it well lubricated with little pressure wipe the panel, repeat till the panel is clean. Note changing towels when the towel gets dirty is a very smart idea. On my R32 I probably used about 20 mf towels.
