DMR Enhancement Detail - Deako's 'Mint' Polo GTI

[Greeners]

Hi Chaps,

We were contacted by Luke as he wanted us to sprinkle our stardust on his cracking Polo GTI as he was unhappy with the light swirling etc evident in the paintwork. A keen detailer, the Luke has many of the latest products and keeps the car very clean, so much of the preparation work had been carried out, the aim was to try and improve the defects in the paintwork as much as possible in a single day.

Some before shots:















Process as follows!

- Wheels cleaned using AS Smart Wheels, vikan/lambswool brushes, decontaminated with Tardis/Iron X
- Tyres/arches cleaned using AS G101, vikan brushes
- Citrus pre-wash via foam lance, to remove loose debris/dirt, high pressure rinse
- Bodywork, door shuts etc washed using Auto Finesse Lather, 2BM and lambswool mitts
-Paintwork decontaminated with AS Tardis and Iron X where required





We opted for the Meguiars DA Correction system which did a great job of knocking back the light swirling evident in the paintwork. The paintwork was then refined using Dodo Juice Lime Prime via 3M Yellow Polishing Pad.

Finishing touches were carried out:

- Dodo Juice Supernatural hybrid applied to paintwork
- Wheels lightly polished by hand, sealed using Mint Rims
- Tyres, plastics and rubbers dressed with Car Pro Perl, glass cleaned, exhaust/chrome polished
- Light interior detail, include mats/carpets clean, fabrics, plastics etc, glass cleaned

After pics, enjoy!































Thanks again Luke for the opportunity to work on your little pocket rocket! 

More more in depth write ups and new videos will be posted soon! Keep your eyes peeled!

Cheers Jay! 

Yes to say we were drooling over it most of the day is an understatement!

Thanks guys. Really happy with the work you carried out in a single day. May book you at some stage in the future for full on correction to get the paintwork 100% perfect. (If i havent buckled and got myself a machine polisher by then).

But i am happy with how it has come out and can now keep on top of it. Damn those VW valeters and car washes that this poor Polo endured for its first 6 months.

Looks lovely. Supernatural Hybrid?
It might be because I'm a touch ham-fisted but I struggle unless I use Red Mist afterwards to even it out.

Is it bad that I want to lick it?

I sold my SN Hybrid cause i hated it.  

Nevermind, it will be topped up with my sealant of choice, Menzerna Power Lock and Zaino Grand Finale.

SN Hybrid can be a bit temperamental if the temperature isn't spot on. The advantage of the unit means we don't have to worry about such matters! 

I had the same issues the first time we used it, but it was outside and the temps were a bit high! I liked it so much this time it's going on the Pirelli the next chance I get!

Would SN Hybrid be a good option for DBP?
