Hello my dear friends
from my garage today!
and...
well
actually I just wanted to show you something
and that is
I had always the problem that the exhaust was very dirty on my GTI
and the pre-owner has never cleaned them before...
I tried a lot of different things to clean them
and somehow I couldn't clean them
so my father-in-law offered me his help
he said: "come here I want to show you something!"
yes my dog wants to attract attention
he showed me that he cleaned the exhaust pipe
but only one of them so you have that before and after effect
you can see the right one is very clean
and the left one isn't
very outstanding!
only problem is.. they are shiny again on the sides
but this evil dirt is not removeable
even my father-in-law failed to clean that
when you scratch over it you can feel that it is coked on it
no chance!
if you have any tips how to get this cleaned, please leave a comment below!
to compare both you have the clean one here
and this is the dirty one
it is really matte
and there is a lot of smut too
and if you wonder how that works, there is a grinding paste
from different brands, but I don't want to mention them
they all of sort of the same impact
that grinding paste is for steal and other kinds of metal
and it gets polished with a cloth
if the dirt is real bad like here you need some time to get it off
some viewers ask me what I use for cleaning the car
I am not a professional car cleaner. For that you should visit @83metoo. He does a lot better than I do
I am one of those who uses glass cleaner for everything
I clean stuff mostly with glass cleaner
if it's in the household or on the car, it doesn't matter
glass cleaner is my allround cleaner
Neverthelesse I bought some other products
I don't want to advertise certain products
I have now an insect cleaner that you spray on the front of the car
I have cleaned the car just yesterday
But I will show you a photo of how it looked after my Holidays
I was on Holidays where I drove 1.500km (~950 miles)
that is how the car looked like
so the car had a nice insect cementery on the front
I sprayed the insect cleaner on the front and let it there for a few seconds
but when I zoom in on the car you can see that there are still some flys left
same here. Don't know if you can see that..
like those blood spots from the flys
So I sprayed insect cleaner on the front of the car
What's up?
my body guard dogs. As you can see you cannot sneak in here
As I said I spray insect cleaner on it
hello Milo!
I let it operate and clean it with water
that cleaner is pretty aggressive so you should not let it operate for too long
after that I put auto-shampoo on it
and I clean everything with a sponge
the rough dirt should be cleaned already
because you should avoid to scratch the rough dirt on the car
otherwise you'll get scratches on the car
therefore you should rinse it with the pressure washer first
so first the insect cleaner and then the pressure washer to get rid of the rough dirt
then you take a sponge
and you fill up a bucket with car shampoo
and with water of course
then you wash the car with that
and then rinse it again
I have always problems with the rims
I clean the rims very extensive
and I even dry it with leather
but actually you don't dry it with leather nowadays. You take fabric or something similar
but there are always some dust left
again...
so they are not getting real black again
and I also don't know how you can clean this in the back
so when you have tipps for that please leave a comment below!
oh and what I also love to do is
to make the tyres real black and when you take pictures of it
and you don't want the tyres to look dirty
there is a spray for your tyres
in my case I used a foam and I sprayed it onto the tyres
the tyres absorbs the foam within a minute
and then
the tyres are really shiny again
as you can see I didn't do it on the inside
hope you can see it
they are really shiney here and they look all black now
in case you have a photoshooting with your car you should try that!
I can recommend to do so
something that I'm really good in is to vacuum clean the car
I hate it when there are small crumbs on the seats
of course I forgot the keys now...
a car has to be clean, because a car is like a living room for me!
and you don't to have crumbs in your living room either
therefore I clean it frequently
So I vacuum clean the car and take dust cloth for the dashboard
to eliminate the dust
as I said: I'm not a professional car cleaner
but my cars look always clean
it doesn't matter where I go. I always have the dirtiest car
I need a car wash... disgusting!
it's getting annoying... I always attend to car events with very dirty cars
of course you can clean the car more effectively
but a car ais also an object of utility
and when I need like
4 hours to clean my car, which was normal in former times
I didn't want to drive the car anymore, because I knew it becomes dirty again
but I actually want to drive my car!
Therefore I try to clean my car in a very short period of time
and make it look clean at the same time
you should also clean the door sill panels
as we use to say: outside yay, inside nay
some people drive through the car wash and that's it
and then they open the door and you can see that they haven't cleaned the car properly
so please clean the door sill panels too otherwise the dirt will remain there forever
what else can I tell you?
as you might noticed in other videos, I will modify the GTI a little bit
first I will clean the left exhaust pipe of course
as you can see the height of the car is too high
and I'm still driving with all season tyres
I didn't put them on. They were mounted on the car when I bought it
the pre-owner of the car was a car rental company
it probably was a rental car
of course they mounted all-season tyres on the car. That's how those company do it
In my opinion it's stupid
I will replace them
and then the car should be lower with a sport-suspension
so that I can use the car in a sportier way
to use it on the Nordschleife maybe
I'm scared to drive it on the Nordschleife in this set up
I'm scared to drive fast with it, because it doesn't feel as good in corners as it should feel
so all-season tyres are not good at all for this purpose
all season tyres are good for regular drive, but not for driving fast
so please don't safe money and put those tyres on when you want to drive fast
okay, so I will put sport tyres on it. But no semi-slicks
just some tyres that have good grip on dry and wet roads
I also want to change the wheels of the car
those are a little bit too small
here we have 18" but I want 19" rims
usually this car comes with 19" AFAIK, but not this one
but this was a rental car so they used cheaper tyres
I actually like the design of the rims, so there are just a few ones that I like
If you have a look from distance, I think they look good on the car
when you have new tyres on the car you want to have some that look different
I leave this one for the winter
I love the OZ Ultraleggera rims, although most people have them on the Golf already
I like them too in black
of course there will be also an individual Sophia Calate design on the car
I have a cool design in my head already
that's gonna be on the car pretty soon!
something I can reveal is that the base color will remain white
I wanted a white car so that's why I've chosen a white one
so, the color remains white and I just want to add some sporty looking design onto the side of the car
my logo will be on it too
on the rear window and the side I will add the social media accounts
or maybe they will be here on this spot?
If you have some ideas please let me know
altough I have some planes for the car, but in case you have a better design, please leave a comment below!
The Porsche is waiting here for the next adventures
I think it feels lonely
that makes me sad, because we've had so many rainy days
and then you cannot use this car
it's actually clean too, just a few flys here and there
I don't want to drive it all the time in every weather condition
there weren't so many car events that I could take part in either
I was on Holiday and I'm working a lot at the moment
and therefore it's a poor little baby
soon I will drive it again
about the badges: I think I've told you in a different video what they are about
I'm collecting those
so you can see where the car has been to
those are the badges of Switzerland
from Austria and Slovenia or vice versa?
The car was in Italy too, but they don't have badges
But I like that. There are not so many cars like this with different badges
there will be also a new wrap on the car, maybe by the end of the year
I also have a design for that as well
but I think it will change like 10 times again
often I have a color or a design that I really like and 5 days later I think
this one is even better!
I have a color right now, but I'm not gonna tell you. This is a secret
so please be patient with it
I can tell you know that it will be something that you haven't seen before
or is at least very rare
and of course I will you show everything that happens with the car
when it gets a new wrap
and when the GTI gets a new wrap too!
I'm really looking forward to this
I'm gonna wrap up the video here, I've talked enough
thank you very much for watching!
if you like the video please don't forget to click on thumbs up
and if you haven't done it, please don't forget to subscribe to my channel
so that I can talk more with you
see you later!
ciao!
