This brand new VW Gti was referred to me by an existing customer and when I saw the car I was shocked to see the condition of the bonnet. After checking through the whole car I found that only the bonnet and the roof had major paint defects (with the roof more serious) and I only took a few pictures of the condition on the bonnet.

Closer view,

Another angle on the swirls and hologram,

Steps taken,
1) wash and clay
2) Menzerna IP + LC foam wool pad + rotary @ 1500rpm
3) PO106FF/RMG mix + white polishing pad + DA @ speed 5

Here’s the 50/50 shot,

And here’s the before and after shots,

After the defects removal process, I applied a layer of Victoria Concours Red Wax. As always, the Concours Red Wax never fails to bring out that deep wet look on dark color cars.

Lastly, a few close-up shots,

Thank you for looking through, any questions and comments are welcome.
