Rasky's Auto Detailing: 2008 VW R32

Rasky's Auto Detailing
2008 VW R32, paint correction only.

The owner recently purchased this car out of state. It has about 45,000 miles on the clock and the paint was in pretty rough shape. Upon inspection you could see heavy cob-webbing and a few noticeable RIDS. The owner and I talked about different options and we opted for a 2-step correction, which was in his budget and I felt should reach his desired goal of 90-95% correction. I had also offered to spot hit the RIDS with M105 and then planned to do the whole car with SIP and PO85RD via the rotary. After doing a few test spots the webbing was easily removed by SIP, but it reveled more of the deeper scratches, which would not come out without several passes of SIP. My OCD got the best of me and I went ahead and did a 3-step correction. I phoned the customer and said I was unhappy with the amount of correction I was getting with my planned process and that I was going to do the extra step at no extra charge. With the below process I felt I easily achieved 95% correction, if not more. ;)


Process:

Wash – Meguiars Gold Class using the 2BM
Wheels – P21S gel and various brushes, ZAIO, Opti-Seal
Tires – Amazing Roll Off, Hyper Dressing 3:1
Clay – Meguiars Mild Clay, Last Touch (Owner had recently clayed and the car didn’t need much claying)
Trim – Meguiars Ultimate Protectant (Lab Sample P)
Glass – Meguiars D120
Headlamps - M105/M205/ZAIO
Taillights – M205/ZAIO
Door shuts – ZAIO (M105/M205 on the rockers)
Correction step 1- M105 via rotary and wool pad
Correction step 2 – M105 via PCXP and Cyan LC Hydro pad
Correction step 3 – M205 via PCXP and Tangerine LC Hydro pad
LSP – Blackfire Wet-Diamond

It was supposed to rain the final day so I quick pulled the car out to get some sun pics while I could. This was right after M205 and no LSP on the car yet.

Nice looking pics there. I also love that color when properly shined. It looked like there were some pretty heavy swirls in there good job!

I actually really enjoyed seeing the color of this car transform once I started polishing. It seems to really change in different lights and look amazing in the early morning sun. :bigups
