📝 P R O J E C T D E T A I L S
I was contacted by a viewer very eager to have me detail his United Grey Golf R32. The owner drove it to Calgary from BC, left it with me for three days, then had it shipped back to Ontario. This car was recently coated so I performed a very little "refresh" polish on it and applied a nice filler coat of EXO to rejuvenate the coating. This Golf R32 has lived an active life and shows some battle scars, but it cleaned up real nice. It left my place on a tractor trailer looking sharp. The video is comprehensive but does not show every step I took, but it should serve as a good example that ALL cars deserve pampering time to time, not just the perfect ones.
🤘 Stay RAD everyone!

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??😄
Kai -291 Would you watch?
@@RADGarage I sure would
Kai -291 We will have to crowd fund my airline ticket to Quebec!
vw cars like these hold a special place in my heart, you can feel the quality by just watching it, good old days of vw
Yeah, I could feel the spirit of this car the whole time I had it in my possession.
I like VW too, but quality would be, if it would not rust at these seen places. My Golf 2 didnt look like this after 12 years. And 3b5 is now 20 years and no rost!
This one has 240,000 kms and has been Canadian winter driven its entire life. That's no small feat.
@@kingmiro i gradually changed all my 09 cc four doors thanks to the rust on each single one of them....
@@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.
Your youth is the golf!!! I understand the special bond that you have with it. Takes one to no one!!!
These R32's make a very strong impression on those lucky enough to own them.
“I’m detailing his wipers...I have a problem” 😂😂👍🏼
Haha! It's funny how much abuse I take from my neighbors when I have the garage door open during a project. "You're a freak!" he shouted.
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 💥
Thanks! My neighbor actually enjoys it when I spend my time on his Audi Allroad, but I do take a good ribbing from my neighbors!
Mr. Rick showing something not many do cleaning thoroughly between those rubber lips. What a champion!!!🏆🥇
Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
When an owner gives me the time I need, I can address those intricate details.
@@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.
It's all about the details!
Wow, the old girl looks awesome! Beautiful work,Rick!
That R32 got the detail of its life that summer!
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.
The attention to detail is just superb I mean even the wipers now that’s what I like 👍
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!
I found more information about detailing than other videos about detailing...
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.
This guy deserves the moniker "obsessed garage"
Is there enough room for two OG’s? www.obsessedgarage.com
Amazing job!!! The Golf MKV R32 is my all time favorite car!!! Love this!
The love people have for these cars never ceases to amaze me. There is definitely something amazing about how they impact people.
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.
That’s the ultimate compliment. Thanks. Are you dealing with any corrosion issues on yours? Fingers crossed you say no.
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.
60FPS All the best. Nice chatting.
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. It's nice to see CZcams is spreading my videos around to a wider audience and attracting some new viewers. Thanks for clicking on the thumb and hopefully you'll stick around to watch more of my channel.
My new nightly routine to unwind before bed, watch you detail a car so eloquently 🥰 wow every video I’ve seen so far is just so relaxing. Thank you!
No one has ever used the word "eloquent" to describe my detailing work. Thanks for that. 🙏
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!
No one makes detailing videos like you Rick. It’s like art what you do. You use easy to listen to music too 👌
I really appreciate that. I feel like my video skills have evolved, but I feel like my style shows through each video.
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!
That was one of the only issues this one didn’t have. ✌️
Great work! Incredible visuals🙌🏻
It’s so therapeutic! Keep up the great work, man!
Thanks. I find the detailing process therapeutic and try to communicate that vibe in the videos.
Utmost attention to detail is second to none! The cinematics are killing it as well. Very well done Rick!
Thanks. I appreciate that. It was nice to have the time to do things thoroughly. The car and the video.
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!
Arjun why are you driving on 17 inch wheels? What happened with the original 18's?
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.
@@cheembucket Awesome Man!!!!! Now, Your car deserve to delete a little piece of rusty fender and sill :-)
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.
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 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.
Loving it, even took the wipers off! Superb as always!
They were so dirty! I had to! 😅
It only needs a wiper delete.. what a Nice result on this one!
Thanks. I was very satisfied with the results too.
the attention to detail! WOW. Love your work!!
Thank you very much!
Amazing job would love to see the owners reaction to the finished job ,, wow 👌 wish you was here in the UK,, ,,,,,
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.
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?
Man, your passion for the art of detailing really shows through your work! The car looks great.
Well done, Rick!
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.
That was an amazing detail experience Rick!! Excellent attention to detail and commitment!!! Staying RAD....
Glad to hear you are staying RAD! Thanks for he kind words and encouragement.
Dude! Such a RAD job. I loved it
Thanks so much.
Home run my brother!!! Incredible work on one of my all time favorite rides!👍 your the man my friend.
Thanks Kyle. It was a fun and rewarding project. The owner should be receiving it today.
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!
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.
Good job Rick! You’re my favorite car detailing channel on CZcams right now. I follow you for a while now as Audi Fan I have a A1 Quattro. Greetings from the Netherlands
Hey thanks! I am actually talking to a guy right now in the Netherlands about doing a detailing podcast. I'll keep you updated. I don't think we have the A1 in Canada.
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.
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!
I'm glad you like my work. I enjoy sharing it.
poetry in motion Rick nice job on this.
I miss the summer when I had all the time in the world.
Its so relaxing to watch. Good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
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.
I just love the way u edit all your video. Its pleasant to watch. I love it. Stay RAD
Glad you enjoy it!
Another great job Rick.👌👍👏
I appreciate that
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.
It was a treat watching you work!!
I appreciate that. Thanks. I had fun with this project. The owner was super cool.
Beautiful job, I'll always have a place for the .:R32. That rust nearly breaks my heart
Yeah, it is not something you ever want to see. It has a new owner now so hopefully it will be restored.
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.
Hard work - great result! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Hamburg/Germany
Thanks for watching!
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. 🤘
Always good! Thanks!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. That makes it worth all the effort. Take care.
I learned a lot about how to care for my R32! Great Video!
You got a special car there. Take good care of it!
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
Wow, thank you! I find comments like these from fellow detailers the most gratifying!
RAD GARAGE did you have a love for chill step outside of detailing or did you just find they fit your videos well?
Also see if you can detail a b5 s4🔥🔥
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.
RAD GARAGE check out the APP DI.FM on the App Store. Incredible chillstep channel.
This was like like ASMR to me! Great job
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
What a job! Congrats!
Jose Alberto Castillo Thanks. It left me satisfied.
Great work. Looks practically brand new!
jillianvanliew Thanks. That’s always the goal.
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!
Your videos are filmed and edited so well. Great job on the 32!
Thanks so much. I like to think my filming and editing techniques continue to evolve but this one would definitely make my “best of” collection’
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.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent work brother! Keep up the great content!!!
Thanks very much for that. I have another one coming tomorrow! 👀
beautiful cleaning you doing there
thank you very much for the great video
Thanks for watching!
That thing was banged up.
Tim “Enjoyed”.
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Such a beautiful video!
Thanks. I’m super proud of this one. I still watch it periodically.
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.
Rick nice job men this car Ned alot of love .As always Nice vídeo and music .job 💯👍🇵🇹
Glad you enjoyed it
Rick: Shot edit 06:27 - 06:37 so soothing and cathartic. Another great edit, good work sir!
Oh yeah (In deep Barry White voice)
So, many, angles.. this deserves all the views
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.
Very nice video !! Congrats !!
Thank you very much!
Stunning job on a great sounding car.👍
It does have a nasty little BRAAAP!
Beautiful work my friend. Beautiful
That means a lot Clint. Thanks.
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. 🤝
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!
Killed it again!
Thanks my friend. This was such a fun project.
U on another level bro.. edit on point too.. had some shoes just like those very comfortable..
Finally! Someone approves of my footwear! I get a lot of grief from peeps about my shoes. Thanks man.
that old classic received some good old love for sure💪💕
Yup. She needed some attention.
Your garage is goals. Great vid!
Glad you like it! 🤘
Nice attention to detail Rick.
I try! 💪
Another great result!
I'm really growing attached to these various Golf R models. They clean up so nicely.
RΔD GΔRΔGE I have owned 5 Golfs in my time. 3 X Mk3, a Mk 5 and a Mk 6. All great cars!
Damn nice clean work Rick good job man
Thanks Saul. I really enjoyed this one.
Brou its amazing work 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
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!
Thanks for taking time to pop by and comment while you are on vacation! I hope you are getting lots of rest and relaxation!
WHY are these so relaxing to watch?! And I have the same problem...I take everything WAY overboard in cleaning every nook and crevice.
I think it is because we are superior human beings? Maybe?
Smoooth!!!!
Joshua Kidd Haha. Thanks.
Exelente trabajo,,,, AL DETALLE !
Thank you Gabriel.
Great job, fantastic videos, greetings from germany
Thank you very much!
Super job well done 👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Great job man ! nice camera work also and a great work place you have got there !
Thanks, thanks and thanks!
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!
another awesome project
Thanks. I've been having some fun lately!
Good good work!!
Many many thanks
15 hours, very impressive, excellent work 👍
Thanks. It was a worthy investment of my time.
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?
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!
thank you,the best.
Thanks for watching. 🤘
Good Job Bro. I watch with pleasure. 😉
Glad to hear that.
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 💙 👍
Nice... Liked R32.. Legend.
Turbine Garage They are super cool cars. I can see why they such a strong and loyal following.
Greeting from Germany, you do a good Job!
Thank you! Cheers!
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.
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.
