Was asked to carry out an enhancement detail on this Mk5 as it had recently has a repair done the the passengers side of the car, which made the other parts of the car look terrible in sunlight etc....
So the car was dropped off at my unit like this.......
Started off in the usual way with the wheels and arches up first, wheels with bilberry 4:1 with various brushes, tyres with Mega APC and with the arches along with Megs De-greaser. Next up was a good power rinse with the Karcher then an APC snowfoam mix, while it was left to dwel i went around the window seals and badges etc with a swissvax brush.
The Snowfoam was then power rinsed off and the car was washed 2BM with the chemical guys buckets, grit gaurds, sonus mitt and Megs shampoo plus.
No pictures during this stage as it was raining.............. just for a wee change!!!
The car was then de-tared with AS tardis, there was a serious build up!! The car was then clayed with CYC yellow clay and Megs last touch as a lubricant.

after the top hlf of the drivers dorr.
The car was then taken inside and dried with ultra plush drying towels and taped up ready for correction...
a few pics
quite heavily swirled as you can see and a fair few RDS.
I used the rotary with a 3M yellow pad with megs #205 with two hits which left this, bearing in mind this is only an enhancement detail and not a full on correction, the areas that had recieved fairly fresh paint were given one pass with Menz final finish on a lake country finishing pad,
The car was then given a lime prime lite by DA on a Sound sf-3 finishing pad, then fininshed off wuth megs #16 and final wipe down with Zaino z-8.
Glass was done with AG fast glass, trim with CG new look trim gel as was the tyres.
The finished results
just a quick write up as not many pictures were taken
Thanks for looking, all comments welcome
