Car Detailing for Volkswagen CC

Detailing your Volkswagen CC

A CC is a stylish older Volkswagen that is usually on its second or third owner, and the exterior is showing its age: tired door seals, chalky roof clear coat and foggy headlights. We polish what paint can be saved, restore the headlights and condition the seals so the frameless glass stops streaking. Inside, the beige leatherette comes back with the right cleaner, and the dark rear seat gets a crevice tool and an extraction.

What we watch for on a CC

• Frameless door glass leaves a dirt line along the seal, and the seals themselves are often shrunk and hardened, so we clean them and apply a rubber conditioner
• Clear coat on the roof and trunk lid is often failing on these cars by now; we polish what can be saved and note what needs paint
• Headlights are usually yellowed and benefit from a restoration more than any other exterior job
• Beige V-Tex has often been wiped with harsh cleaners for years and looks grey; a proper cleaner and a conditioner bring it back
• The low roof and small rear windows make the rear seat dark and crumb-filled; a thorough vacuum with a crevice tool and an extraction fix it

Midsize sedans: the family and commuter workhorse

A midsize sedan usually carries the school run, the commute and the weekend grocery trip, which means a rear seat full of crumbs and a trunk full of whatever rolled around in it. Wide doors and large panels reward a proper two-bucket wash.
