Man adg, you just answered so many questions I have been wondering about!!! My car is that same exact color (indigo blue pearl is what vw calls it BTW). I have dealer installed swirls that are almost that bad and I was wondering what product/pad combo to use. I was going to use something much more abrasive then SMR, but after seeing those results I'm glad I have not gotten around to it yet. Just one more question (this color is so wierd)..... did you do this with SMR for light or dark colored cars? I'm almost positive it would be dark I just want to make sure.....

Indigo Blue, Galactic Blue, and the above color (which I don't know what it's called and is only available on the Beetles), are not the same.

It was SMR for Dark Colored cars, and that is what you want to use on Indigo Blue.

ADG44,
what color is your jetta? I would think on a darker color using a yellow pad and SMR it would haze a lot more. I think i'll experiment with yellow pad next time.

The Beetle is a Dark Blue/Purple, whereas my jetta is just a dark blue. In the light though, my car is brighter than the Beetle.

I think it didn't haze because I had washed the pad and broken it in. Although I could be totally wrong.
