2013 VW Jetta Paint Correction and Opti-Coat

[ec90]

Here is a 2013 Tornado Red VW Jetta paint correction and Opti-Coat 2.0 application. This was my first go at using Opti-coat and application was pretty straight forward and easy. This car only had 3000 miles on it

And of course it wouldn`t be complete without lazy dealership detailers putting wax everywhere

That looks great. I have found Menz FG to be my go to compound when work needs to be done. Looks like it served you right, the VW looks awesome!:rockon
