A 2008 VW Tiguan full of water -- front footwells, boot, both sides. A garage had already tried to fix it and failed. Four sunroof drain pipes: the front two had shrunk and were leaking through the A-pillars into the footwells; the rear two were disconnected. One just fell out when touched -- someone had been up there before. Airbag terminal sitting in water with visible corrosion.

VW Beetle convertible with a very dirty roof. No magic product -- mechanical brushes, strong detergent, multiple passes. Two-year waterproof coating with antifungal. Old ?for= link slugged.

VW Passat end-of-lease inspection. Paintless dent removal on the dents, scratches polished. Advice on what to fix and what to leave to stay below the recharge threshold.

A VW Beetle cabriolet in for roof clean, rubber conditioning and drain flush. The roof had some chemical staining from a car wash using strong alkaline products -- Gary explains why those marks can be permanent. All rubbers done, drains cleared, AutoGlym three-month wax on the outside.

A VW Scirocco came in covered in dried concrete splatter. Three acid washes to dissolve the lime and calcium, a machine polish to remove the grit scratches, and it came out cleaner -- and cheaper -- than expected.
