Today I did a nice Wolfsburg Edition VW Jetta. The paint was in the worst shape I`ve seen. I had to clay and polish like mad to get all the oxidation and swirls out.



I clayed the surface for some time getting rid of all the tar, because it was very bad. Took me around 1 hour total. The wash alone took 45 minutes.



So I`ll just list my processes, cause it will take a while:



-Wash

-Clay with mothers clay (I need something with more cut!)

-Polish with Poorboys SSR 2.5 x 2

-" with Poorboys SSR 2 to get back the gloss. It was very hazed after the 2.5.

-Top with some Nanowax. I tried 4 different products, including: NXT, Klasse, Wolfegang and Nano, and Nano really brought out a very wet shine.

-Tires got some light dressing, nothing major, didn`t want a sheen.

-Windows were cleaned very well with Windex. No aftermarket tint, so it worked fine.

-Wheels were clayed and sealed with AIO.

Trim dressed with Poorboys Natural Look.



Anyways, enough babbling:

Casebruis: I only charged $90.00 CND

LouisanaJeeper: No idea, doesn`t look like it. It was rather oxidized even after the wash. Clay took care of it though.

Series1: Thanks a lot. I`m getting a good rep in my city now. Many people have said nice things about me. :)
