@@jasonwu5758 I wanted to say, that the quality was much better on older models, even if the technology evolves. Everything needs to be cheaper these days. I saw the Essen Number Plates so thought you guys are from Germany.
I don’t know how I landed on this but wow!! Outstanding job. I think was mesmerized but the music and the cleaning haha!! I enjoy cleaning my car but hate...hate the carpets. I never seem to get everything off. There’s always some kind of pebble or lint or something.
Haha. Yeah carpets just never seem to get 100% clean. I can think they are perfect, then return a minute later and there is magically more stuff that requires vacuuming. It's like a cruel joke.

Thanks for clicking on the thumb and hopefully you'll stick around to watch more of my channel.
That Golf looked like a typically driven Canadian winter driven car. And the transformation was awesome. And I can’t say enough about the attention to incredibly painstaking details. Magnificent job.
Yup, Canadian winter daily drivers take a beating and this car is wearing those scars. At least it is super clean now! Thanks for the awesome feedback Wayne.
Thanks Rick! I'm more than grateful for the time you put into this (slightly rusted) project! This is exactly what I needed to close up my chapter out west, you nailed it!
Absolute pleasure. The transport guy may have put a few finger prints on it while he was doing his inspection. I cringed but didn't say anything! I hope you are happy with the result. All the best to you!
Kai -291 It's sitting on 18x8 BBS CHs as summers - these are my winters! My car was sitting at my apartment since the winter when COVID hit as I came back home in the meantime.. summers are going on as soon as the car lands here. You can follow the car at @ug_r32 on instagram!
I have a feeling this car will be back in my hands at some point down the road and I have a strong feeling it will have the sweet summers on and those rust bubbles will be well sorted.
That was back when I had a lot of time to attend to each and every detail. Life has become significantly busier for me since then. Thanks for the comment!
That was.........well..........A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Great transformation of a car who's owner obviously loves his R32 because he uses it like a car should be enjoyed!
Joe Van Seeters That’s exactly how I see it too. These things have their warts but that shouldn’t detract from your love for it and desire to pamper it.
As the owner of #49/5000 2008 R32 in United Grey, my hats off to you. Such a amazing job. Man I wish you were near me, my R32 would be next in there. Awesome video and great work.
RΔD GΔRΔGE yeah unfortunately I do have a little rust forming at the driver side door at the bottom close to the valance and the wheel arch. Poor design on VW for water and drain location. I keep it touched up with some special United Grey Spray paint I found online. It’s color matched to my paint code. Got one little rust spec on my hatch by VW logo, but it’s super small like a ball point pin tip size. Otherwise all is good. Keep up the good work, loved the video, watched it from start to finish.
@@RADGarage I had to replace the wipers on three of my customers vehicles because after all the work done they would streak after any rain. That's one of the first things I have learned to check when I do an assessment.
I have a Mk5 R32 as well and am based in the UK. This video was fascinating to watch. The state of the car, especially inside, and the transformation were simply amazing. Good job Sir.
As a previous owner of an MK5 gti this was one of my favorite videos you made! Amazing job. I get great tips from your videos when I wash my own car. Thank you!
Just goes to show that what you do isn’t for everyone 😆 it’s a well respected craft when you pay as much attention as you do. Time is everything in this trade. It becomes intimate in a sense and peaceful every time do my car. Not as detailed as you so keep up the amazing work and content 💥
Great video! I gave my R32 a quick wash/detail the other day and this gave me ideas of more areas to clean up. Great to see the headliner wasn't sagging in this MK5, hahah!
This is the only project in which I wasn't able to see the owner's reaction, since it was transported to Ontario. I spoke with the owner and he was very pleased, but not being able to see his reaction was the only part of this project that wasn't completely satisfying! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Currently on vacation, so I don't watch as often or early as usual, but what a cool project this is! The fact that the owner went out of his way to let you detail his car says more about your results and process than I could ever in a comment, cheers!
Awesome work on the R32 man! I've always thought it was an awesome ride and you did a fantastic job on the detail. Also, thanks again for using my music for your video, I thought the tracks you selected went perfectly.
Thank you! Did you ever think you'd see the day when your music was being featured in a detailing video? It did go perfect and I already have some of your tracks picked out for my next project. Take care and I hope you are getting out there and enjoying all the beauty and majesty Alaska has to offer!
At 24:14 I spotted a german license plate on the wall. Not sure if you know but its from the city of Essen which is located in the Ruhr Industrial Area in North Rhine Westphalia or as we call it Ruhrpott. Essen is famous for its football team (Rot-Weiss Essen), its beer (Stauder Pils) and of course like all cities of the Ruhrpott its former coal and steel industry which played a huge role in the development of Germanys economy and wealth after WW2. Just wanted to give you a little background to this ordinary rather unspecial license plate that I see hundreds of every day. Great job by the way. Keep it up! Greetings from the beautiful Gelsenkirchen which is a neighbour city of Essen 😉 Glück Auf!
Yeah, a few people have commented that it is from Essen. I just wanted a touch of Germany on my "fun" wall. I also have a Swedish plate on my wall. I'd like to add a few more European plates to my space. Thanks for noticing!
First video I’ve seen from you! As a detailer myself I can say not only are your skills world class but that videography and music montage was incredible. You’re now my main go to for when I need some detailing fix
Great question about the music. I discovered chillstep/ambient whatever you want to call it through my search for video music. I discovered a few artists early on that quickly became mainstays on my playlist and I have been an avid listener ever since. Some of them have granted me their permission to use their music with no strings attached. Incredibly talented and generous people.
Hi Rick. I guess the owner of this stunning old lady must have been so happy to get her pampered before shipping back ! As you said, there are some battle scars but still looking gorgeous after more than 10 years. I wish someone would be able to fix lower parts of the car since this beauty doesn't deserve that rust ! And btw, very impressive wiper blade tip ! Talk to you soon buddy § Gregg
Thanks Gregory. This car has been throughly enjoyed and there is something kind of refreshing to see a great car such as this living a full and active life.
Yeah, this project got me a lot of attention. I had a lot of fun with that one because I had the entire weekend so I could take my time and really think about each shot. Thanks for noticing and for the comment.
Glad it was helpful! I don't really make videos that inform, I tend to make videos that satisfy but that doesn't mean you can't pick up a trick or two.
Wow, that's the ultimate compliment. Thankfully, I only do enough details throughout the year that it doesn't seem like work to me. It is satisfying, fun and relaxing for me and I try my best to communicate that through the videos. I'm glad it is translating.
Your videos are great! It’s awesome seeing these VAG products properly detailed. There are plenty of videos of car enthusiasts and their cars but not too many videos showing them properly being maintained!
I think I have carved out a nice little niche in the car detailing world. Won't get to the 1M subscriber mark like some people, but I like my approach.
Holy crap what a transformation!!! i know i said it last time, but thanks for showing us all the steps of the whole process! lol i know what those salt stains are like....pain in the but!! i gotta try steam like u did, seemed to work well! great vid Rick, cant wait for the next Rad Garage upload!!!!!!
Steam wasn't able to loosen all the salt unfortunately. I think there comes a time when that salt just becomes impossible to remove. I did find the use of a strong vinegar/water mix to be effective at loosening most of it up, but I have yet to conquer salt! Because the owner graciously let me have the car for three days, I was able to show a lot of the process, but you'd be surprised how much of the process didn't find its way into the video. Sometimes, it is just too complicated to position the camera so I just do the work "off camera". Take care, Mike.
Great job! As a fellow coating installer. May I recommend that you wear an at least N95 mask when installing a coating. The fumes are really actually really hard on your lungs. I haven’t till recently but it really helps. Before I could barely smell anything for the rest of the day. Stay safe
Jared Ostler Excellent advice. I’m not sure why I didn’t wear one. I usually do. I think I was preoccupied by my glove shortage challenges I just completely forgot about the mask. Take care. Stay safe!
Rick, if my passport hadn't been expired I would've drove up from the Gulf Coast of Alabama and let you coated my SQ5. I did a one-step the other day and it was easily 33 C, if not more. I was spent afterwards too. Great job and awesome video!
Still laughing at----> "...I'm detailing his wipers...........I have a problem." lol..we all do brother! Ok, so per our chat last week. You lightly clayed the coating, did you try or do an iron remover step too? That gray was popping!!!
No iron remover. I just didn't see the need. I only use Iron-X on cars that spend a lot of time in heavy traffic. This car was coated a year ago and basically sat there. Just the lightest of clay and polish with Essence+ was all I felt it needed before applying a fresh top coat of the EXO. My neighbors do think I'm a bit "problematic", I am sure!
Oh boy, this video has reignited those feelings you had buried deep down inside. I can see why this car leaves a permanent mark on the owners. It truly is something special. I have a feeling you have a pretty nice car nowadays, though. Am I right?
Been beating on an Xterra as a daily because I needed something a bit tougher for a few cross country moves. It’s getting the job done but needs just as much love as this R got.
It is sad. It snuck up on the owner this first half of the year. I think he has a sliver of hope with the VW corrosion warranty, if not I know he is committed to saving it. I'm not too worried. Where there's a will, there's a way. (I just love those Christmas towels!)
Thanks. This one was great because I had the luxury of time. That is so key for me. I don't know how pros pound out project after project on a daily basis! I tip my hat to them.
Thanks. It has been a fun summer of detailing projects. I'm happy to share them with everyone. It's interesting how many viewers from the Netherlands I have connected with this summer.
@@RADGarage I have literally bought that TW chrome polish for my cars since the early 1970s! LOL! Used it for 40+ years and its still the finest chrome cleaner/polish on the market. It can clean up exhaust tips in no time and make them gloss shiny. You'll thank me later, once you try it! :>)
Amazing job mate!! Your attention to detail is impeccable! Oh how I understand how you're feeling with the heat! 3 months of coldish weather a year and the rest is quite warm! Another fantastic video! Keep em coming!
40 degree summers and my garage is a legitimate hot box! But have Just insulated the garage door and will have some reverse cycle ducting put in there so that will hopefully help!
RΔD GΔRΔGE not really , its super cool for a 2008 european 2.0 with 170 hp with 137,000 miles on it. I would do a polish on it and a ceramic coat tbh just to look nicer.

Greetings from the Netherlands! Started yesterday watching your video’s. Love the way how you use and focusing your camera on the detailing I am really enjoying it! I am also a car detail freak on my free days..
Another great video and detail, always find your videos so relaxing to watch and as a added bonus I learned a few things along the way,so all good great job Rick thanks for your time and effort making these videos greetings from Ireland.
You done that iconic car justice, I have owned my r32 for 8 years and its the best car I have had and my daily is a mk6 golf gti again great cars , cant believe how good it came out just a pity the owner has not got that wing (front fender) replaced 😀
The owner and this car were separated due to the Covid situation, and when he was finally reunited with it, he noticed the corrosion had really spread. He's taking it back home and is committed to getting it all fixed. He just really wanted it detailed by me since the car was only one province away.
Great to see this rarity being brought back to life. Awesome work. Side note, nothing wrong with detailing some wipers! It’s a safety thing, I see no problems . 🤪
@@RADGarage Nice! If you're into remote area's but not too far, best hot spring place I go to usually is a place called "Lussier Hot Springs" less tourists and a breathtaking drive to get there.
What an amazing detail and filmography, such a talent there 😊✊, great that Pan messaged u too. White details in the UK, u and pan would make one hell of a team and with great humour. Awesome job 👍
Damn that R32 really needed some love and care, and you delivered as always outstanding job Rick. Yeah sadly rust really is a huge problem with the MK5 platform.
Yes, I am hearing that from many in the VW community. Plus, Ontario is wet and salty all winter, so this winter driven car had the odds stacked against it.
@@RADGarage I live in the UK and have a MK5 R32. The rust is pretty much in the same areas as yours. What I've never understood is why VW never replaced the arch panels with plastic rather than metal, as even with a respray it only takes one stone to hit the inner archer and your are back to square 1! I am thinking about getting the underside treated with a rust treatment then sealed by a specialist company, as we suffer from salty roads here as well in the winter. Really like the end result! I want to do similar to mine as it's red, just to bring back that proper red and not the pink that is starting to come through. Just need to sort a few mechanical issues first though...
I been washing my own car since 2015. Never went to car wash. I pre rinse my cars and wash off then snow foam using CG honey dew snow foam and then follow with clay bar if needed. I use same soapy water that use for car wash to clay. Save on clay lube or detail spray the follow with polish using CG polisher with meguair ultimate polish and then wipe with IPA and use seal&shine. Gets so much gloss and protection.
Tremendous job Rick! My kind of attention to detail. You and I would have so much fun detailing a car together. I can feel it! 😎👍🏻
Thanks Pan. I agree we would have a great time. When travel becomes less painstaking, let's make it happen! Your place or mine??
Wow is this like a crossover episode??😄

Been beating on an Xterra as a daily because I needed something a bit tougher for a few cross country moves. It’s getting the job done but needs just as much love as this R got.
Working vehicles need love too!
I see those christmas towels in every vid now ;) It is just sad to see the rust. Beautiful work as always!
It is sad. It snuck up on the owner this first half of the year. I think he has a sliver of hope with the VW corrosion warranty, if not I know he is committed to saving it. I'm not too worried. Where there's a will, there's a way. (I just love those Christmas towels!)
Its so relaxing to watch. Good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just love the way u edit all your video. Its pleasant to watch. I love it. Stay RAD
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks, Rick. One more perfect project and video too.
Thanks. This one was great because I had the luxury of time. That is so key for me. I don't know how pros pound out project after project on a daily basis! I tip my hat to them.
Great work. Looks practically brand new!
jillianvanliew Thanks. That’s always the goal.
I love how you work on a car like this. Greetings from the Netherlands👍🏼
Thanks. It has been a fun summer of detailing projects. I'm happy to share them with everyone. It's interesting how many viewers from the Netherlands I have connected with this summer.
The very best product to polish chrome exhaust tips is the Turtle Wax Chrome Polish/Cleaner.
I don't have a single TW product in my arsenal. I need to be more open-minded.
@@RADGarage I have literally bought that TW chrome polish for my cars since the early 1970s! LOL! Used it for 40+ years and its still the finest chrome cleaner/polish on the market. It can clean up exhaust tips in no time and make them gloss shiny. You'll thank me later, once you try it! :>)
Well done, thank you very much for this Video 😊.
Always my pleasure to share my project with viewers. This one was from a while back but it still gives me good vibes. 🤘
This was super entertaining to watch, the music & camera work was on point also!
Thanks Jeremy. I'm proud of how the car and the video turned out on this project.
Amazing job mate!! Your attention to detail is impeccable! Oh how I understand how you're feeling with the heat! 3 months of coldish weather a year and the rest is quite warm! Another fantastic video! Keep em coming!
I am not used to extremely warm condition in the garage. Thank goodness this week has cooled down a bit. Thanks for the nice comment.
40 degree summers and my garage is a legitimate hot box! But have Just insulated the garage door and will have some reverse cycle ducting put in there so that will hopefully help!
I just subbed to your channel. I just love what you have done with your studio.
@@RADGarage oh wow, thanks so much! Actually means a lot to me mate!
I have already watched the Swisstrax video, but just a bit too busy to leave a comment today. I'll get to it tonight though. 👍
Rick: Shot edit 06:27 - 06:37 so soothing and cathartic. Another great edit, good work sir!
Oh yeah (In deep Barry White voice)
I'm an owner of a MK5 and oh man I needed this!
Great job.
Do you have any issues with corrosion on yours? I hear they are a bit notorious for that. Great car nonetheless.
RΔD GΔRΔGE not really , its super cool for a 2008 european 2.0 with 170 hp with 137,000 miles on it. I would do a polish on it and a ceramic coat tbh just to look nicer.
@@ortej7242 Well, if you need any support to dial it in, just let me know. You can always email me at radgarageyyc@gmail.com if you need any advice. All the best.
RΔD GΔRΔGE I surely will. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
Hard work - great result! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Hamburg/Germany
Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing Rick...Shame about the rust on such a nice car. Enjoyable as always, Please keep the video's coming!
I am hearing that rust is a bigger problem out in Ontario. Salt and the Great Lakes must be a lethal combination.
Brokes my heart to see the rust on this iconic car..
Please fix it and do another detail after it is repaired.
Car deserves it!!
Agreed. 😭
I can't speak for the owner, but I get the strong sense he will sort it out.
@@RADGarage Good to hear and a great detail job, it is nice to see a detail job on cars like this.
And not only on brandnew ferrari's and porsches.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks. Agreed.
the attention to detail! WOW. Love your work!!
Thank you very much!
15 hours, very impressive, excellent work 👍
Thanks. It was a worthy investment of my time.
Nice attention to detail Rick.
I try! 💪
Greetings from the Netherlands! Started yesterday watching your video’s. Love the way how you use and focusing your camera on the detailing I am really enjoying it! I am also a car detail freak on my free days..
Welcome aboard! Always happy to connect with viewers from all over the world. I have some great viewers from the Netherlands. Nice to have one more!
@@RADGarage Guess what?
I love this video! Greeting from Another Dutch viewer
I think I am going to need a Dutch license plate on my wall to pay respect to all my awesome viewers in the Netherlands!
RΔD GΔRΔGE that would be great!
That thing was banged up.
Tim “Enjoyed”.
beautiful cleaning you doing there
thank you very much for the great video
Thanks for watching!
This guy deserves the moniker "obsessed garage"
Is there enough room for two OG’s? www.obsessedgarage.com
Another great video and detail, always find your videos so relaxing to watch and as a added bonus I learned a few things along the way,so all good great job Rick thanks for your time and effort making these videos greetings from Ireland.
Thanks William. A considerable amount of work goes into the filming and editing so it's always great to hear people appreciate it.
You done that iconic car justice, I have owned my r32 for 8 years and its the best car I have had and my daily is a mk6 golf gti again great cars , cant believe how good it came out just a pity the owner has not got that wing (front fender) replaced 😀
The owner and this car were separated due to the Covid situation, and when he was finally reunited with it, he noticed the corrosion had really spread. He's taking it back home and is committed to getting it all fixed. He just really wanted it detailed by me since the car was only one province away.
@@RADGarage well u done it pround mate car came out amazing, much love from Scotland, stay safe 💙 👍
Another great job Rick.👌👍👏
I appreciate that
Awesome Rick. Giving love to a not such perfect car and being excited for it. Good on you man!
Every car deserves pampering. Am I right?
Excellent work brother! Keep up the great content!!!
Thanks very much for that. I have another one coming tomorrow! 👀
I clicked straight away for the Golf as well :)
These cars are really getting a lot of attention lately.
i think i just figured out what to do for my side hustle .. good job , i love it
It is a fun hobby that has actually brought me a lot more than some extra spending cash. 🤝
Your Videos are so relaxing.
Thank you for sharing your content with us. Much love from Germany
Glad you like them! All the best to you.
Great job man ! nice camera work also and a great work place you have got there !
Thanks, thanks and thanks!
Watched this entire video while on my lunch break. I never felt so relaxed. Great job 💪
That must mean I am doing something right! Thanks for dropping by and have a great rest of the day at work!
Great to see this rarity being brought back to life. Awesome work. Side note, nothing wrong with detailing some wipers! It’s a safety thing, I see no problems . 🤪
Could you hear my neighbor yelling at me? I didn't quite pick it up on my computer.
RΔD GΔRΔGE couldn’t quite make it out. Just knew someone was there . Haha
He called me a freak. He's the Tornado Grey Allroad owner.
RΔD GΔRΔGE Audi owners are special 🤪👌🏻
I love Fernie, I used to snowboard there almost every weekend in the winter time. 🏂🏔️❄️
I need to get to the mountains more. We are heading to Radium for a week at the end of this month.
@@RADGarage Nice! If you're into remote area's but not too far, best hot spring place I go to usually is a place called "Lussier Hot Springs" less tourists and a breathtaking drive to get there.
Hello from the UK. if I was US based, you would be the number one person to send to. Expert job, great vids
Wow, thanks. I'm actually in Canada but I still accept your compliment!
@@RADGarage of course Canada, apologies. Should of payed more attention to the location details at the beginning of the video!
That's a fine classy work dude! Love the detail
Thank you. I really enjoyed working on this special Golf. Even though she had a few war wounds, I really think it came out great in the end.
What a job! Congrats!
Jose Alberto Castillo Thanks. It left me satisfied.
Amazing results as always Rick keep up the excellent work simply love the way u pay attention to every detail one of the best detailers I've seen
You're way too kind. I enjoy it and I'm glad the videos communicate that.
that old classic received some good old love for sure💪💕
Yup. She needed some attention.
What an amazing detail and filmography, such a talent there 😊✊, great that Pan messaged u too. White details in the UK, u and pan would make one hell of a team and with great humour. Awesome job 👍
Pretty cool to be mentioned alongside those two fine gentlemen. Thanks a lot!
I missed this, watching now
This was a very special project. I really enjoyed this one.
Damn that R32 really needed some love and care, and you delivered as always outstanding job Rick. Yeah sadly rust really is a huge problem with the MK5 platform.
Yes, I am hearing that from many in the VW community. Plus, Ontario is wet and salty all winter, so this winter driven car had the odds stacked against it.
@@RADGarage I live in the UK and have a MK5 R32. The rust is pretty much in the same areas as yours. What I've never understood is why VW never replaced the arch panels with plastic rather than metal, as even with a respray it only takes one stone to hit the inner archer and your are back to square 1! I am thinking about getting the underside treated with a rust treatment then sealed by a specialist company, as we suffer from salty roads here as well in the winter.
Really like the end result! I want to do similar to mine as it's red, just to bring back that proper red and not the pink that is starting to come through. Just need to sort a few mechanical issues first though...
Martin Smth Cars are a commitment. I hope you find a fix for the wheel arch issue. I’d love to take your R32 from pink to red!
Rick nice job men this car Ned alot of love .As always Nice vídeo and music .job 💯👍🇵🇹
Glad you enjoyed it
Your garage is goals. Great vid!
Glad you like it! 🤘
Loving it, even took the wipers off! Superb as always!
They were so dirty! I had to! 😅
Majestic to watch wish you could take mine for a couple of days what a job👍👍👍
Thanks. What car would I be working on?
Mk5 pearl blue 3dr R32
Oh wow. That is a beautiful car you have there.
It's pretty good paint wise few swirl marks odd dullness here what you recommend as a bit of a DIY job
Have to do a walk round vid so you could see it I suppose
I been washing my own car since 2015. Never went to car wash. I pre rinse my cars and wash off then snow foam using CG honey dew snow foam and then follow with clay bar if needed. I use same soapy water that use for car wash to clay. Save on clay lube or detail spray the follow with polish using CG polisher with meguair ultimate polish and then wipe with IPA and use seal&shine. Gets so much gloss and protection.
Sounds like you have a winning process there. What kind of car is getting all this royal treatment?
Damn nice clean work Rick good job man
Thanks Saul. I really enjoyed this one.
u love this car i see it's not just a car R32 it's.. piece it's art that's why you clean it u want to feel it
Yes, it is a special car with a lot of soul.
Don’t know how anyone gave this a thumbs down. Amazing
Cyber bullies. 🤨
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
The letter Δ is actually identical to D.
Good job as always...
Hmm, I never knew that. Thanks. 🤔
Beautiful work my friend. Beautiful
That means a lot Clint. Thanks.
Wow this thing was trashed and it’s a shame about the rust but to be expected per the climate. Great turn around!
We can rebuild it!
Exelente trabajo,,,, AL DETALLE !
Thank you Gabriel.
Need you here in the uk. Amazing job mate👌
Thanks. You’ve got a lot of legendary detailers over there to draw inspiration from.
