Car Detailing for Volkswagen Touareg

Detailing your Volkswagen Touareg

The Touareg is a heavy, well-built SUV that a lot of owners kept for towing and cottage trips, and it arrives with mud in the wheel wells and dog hair in the back. We rinse the arches, brush the hair out and shampoo the cargo carpet, then condition the leather that usually has never seen a conditioner. Older paint and headlights respond well to a correction and a restoration, and diesel soot comes off the rear bumper with a degreaser.

What we watch for on a Touareg

• Diesel versions leave soot on the rear bumper around the exhaust and a film on the tailgate that needs a degreaser before polishing
• Clear coat on the roof and hood is often oxidized by now, and the headlights yellowed; a correction and a restoration transform an older Touareg
• Saddle Brown and beige leather shows wear on the driver bolster and cracking if it has never been conditioned; we clean and condition gently
• Panoramic sunroof drains clog with leaves and cause water in the footwells; we clear the channels on every exterior detail
• Cottage and towing use means mud in the wheel wells and dog hair in the cargo carpet; a pressure rinse and a rubber brush handle both

Midsize SUVs: three rows of places to hide crumbs

With a third row, a big cargo area and plenty of child-seat anchors, midsize SUVs hide a lot of mess. We work through each row and each seat track so nothing is left behind.
