Morning folk's
This Golf GTi was treated to a Gloss Enhancement Detail & Interior detail over a month ago to give it a thorough clean after the winter months to restore the slickness to the paintwork and sharpen up the paint finish, as it was showing a few wash swirls.
How the car looked on arrival
The car was soaked in AS G101 1:20 power washed after 5 mins dwell time then washed 2BM with 3M car soap and rinsed, wheels cleaned with AS Smart wheels aggitated with various brushes, the next shot shows the amount of tar build up from the filthy winter roads on the lower door's after thoroughly washing and rinsing
AS Tardis was misted onto each body panel and carefully wiped with a clean microfibre and repeated untill all tar was removed then rinsed
Much better
Iron x was then applied to all panel's to remove any metal filings followed by claying using Dodo Juice Supernatural clay with the car still wet after rinsing.
Door shuts were also cleaned during the wash process
After the washing and decontamination stages the true condition of the paintwork was clear to see
Lots of various swirls and random deeper marks, polishing was undertaken with a 3M Yellow polishing pad and Megs 205, achieving a marked improvement on the rock hard paint and leaving the finish lsp ready
Tailgate before
After
Bonnet before
After
50/50 on the offside front door, before
and after
A big improvement but still some deeper marks remaining being only a one day Enhancement, after polishing the paintwork was treated to two coats of Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro, all exterior rubber and plastic trim was dressed, tyres dressed, arches dressed, and wheels and summer wheels (not pictured) sealed, and final pictures after 10 hours work, and a final wipe down with Zaino Z8.
Thanks for looking
