Fast n Furious, Deep n Wet - VW Gti

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,
Before


After

After


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,
Bonnet


At a different angle,


The side,


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

Re: Fast n Furious, Deep n Wet - VW Gti

damn thats some pretty good damage to the hood! How would rate the Victoria wax in comparison to P21s 100% or something along those lines? I want to try it but dont know if its worth getting.
