2013 Volkswagen CC - Wheels off CQuartz Finest Service

**KMG** · 05-27-2015, 10:20 AM

The owner of this car was referred to me by a previous client. The car was previously worked on by a local dealer and the owner was very unhappy with the quality of the work. The metallic black exterior was covered in swirls, rotary burns and scuffs which were driving the him crazy. He also wanted it to be a lot easier to maintain, as most owners of black car do.

Wash/Decon Process

started the process with a strong foam pre-soak

The car was placed on jack stands and the wheels were pulled during the washing process.

the wheels were pulled for a thorough cleaning

tar-x was used to break down build up road tar on the barrles

leaving a nice clean barrel to be coated

the faces were cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser and various brushes

the wheel wells and calipers were also going to receive a good cleaning

they were treated with Super Degreaser and scrubbed with varies brushes

leaving a nice clean wheel well

Post Cleaning Condition

after being washed it was evident that there was quite a bit of damage on the exterior. the trunk had a good amount of RIDS, swirls and rotary burns

sanding marks on the passenger side front door

the roof also had a good amount of swirls on the roof along with RIDS

the hood also had quite a bit of damage on it

Correction Process

the car was then pulled into the garage and placed on jack stands and the wheels were removed again to be coated

the exterior was then polished with Reflect to squeeze out that last bit of gloss

Coating Application

the wheels were coated with CQuartz UK

they were then cured under the IR lamp

after being cured the tires were coated with Black Pearl for a nice glossy look

CQuartz Finest was applied and the vertical panels were cured using the IR lamp. i now see why guys were saying they think there is more gloss when coating are cured with an IR lamp

The Beauty Shots

the gloss and depth was amazing after the coating

Thanks for looking!
