Client contacted me for Opti-Coat protection on his new VW Golf R. He was also unhappy with the paint condition from the dealership. He lived about an hour away but was willing to make the trip.
Car was picked up at the end of january and brought to me 2 weeks later. It was not washed at all since purchase. Despite that, it was still a mess as you'll see.
He arrived well over an hour late as he had a mini family emergency in the morning to deal with. Not a problem with me, just I wasn't documenting the wash, clay, paint measurement process with photos today.
FWIW - this paint had pretty healthy readings all around with many over 150 microns
After it was cleaned up I was pretty certain this was going to be a 2 step process despite the 1 step we had booked.
Did some test spots and eventually went with
Flex 3401 + Optimum MF pads + D300
Flex 3401 + LC Tangerine + Menz Power Finish (PF2500)
few decent before / after photos of the correction process
the hood
rear hatch
and the pillars (finished down the pillars with SF4000)
Shots in the garage after a followup wash, wipedown with 'eraser' and Opti-Coat
Client was happy with the results, and unhappy with the dealership. I believe he is taking some of my correction photos to the dealer to discuss.
