Detailing a Pug 208
« on: July 18, 2011, 07:44:22 pm »
Hello,

Have had a few people around my area wanting me to polish their cars up after seeing my GTI and the recent job I did on the Touareg.  Only however has been VAG cars I have done and you all the paint on them is really hard.  Are pugeot's hard or soft paint?  Really don't like pugs (VAG all the way!) but still going to get this one cleaned up as its like its been washed with a wire brush!

Will be using my DAS 6 Pro but the only polish I have at the moment is the menz stuff (3 grades of cut) but heard thats really suited for VAG paint.  I do however have some P1 polish but not its biggest fan, far prefer the menz stuff.

Anyway.... is pugeots paint hard or soft?  Any experience with polishing one and I am sure but wanted to check the menz polish would be fine and not to harsh if the paint was soft.  Obviously not going for the menz fast gloss, far to harsh for this job.

Thanks

French cars tend to have softer paint - more medium if you call VAG paint hard.

As usual, start with the least abrasive pad and polish.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
