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.

Phil,

Great looking R32.....what a fun car. Prep looks nice and easy with the ONR, I need to give it a try.

You have the same car as my son...I'll have to show him this to teach him what it SHOULD look like. As always, great job.

BTW, he does run 17" OEM R32 winter wheels (brought in from Germany...a nice looking wheel) rather than the 18" OEM R32 (summer) wheels...bad pothole ate a tire (bulged sidewall) with fortunately no wheel damage to the 18".

yup its a great daily. I'm running snows on the 18's and running 19 inch BBS CH's in the warmer months.

Nice! Glad to see that I'm not the only one using Opti-seal on the glass too...great stuff.

OT, but did you receive your recall notice from VW yet regarding the bearing inside the DSG?
We received ours about a week or two ago and they mentioned that inspections/parts will be available starting in the spring.
They also extended the DSG warranty to 10yr/100K miles.
