Diamond Black Edition30 Detail (reflections)
« on: November 09, 2012, 07:40:06 pm »
As many of you know , VAG paint is hard to correct. We had tried a few methods in the past , but not achieved the results we were after. A swirl free finish was the aim of the game. We had heard good things about the Meguiars MicroFibre correcton system. It's a two stage system via DA , consisting of microfibre cutting pads followed by microfibre refining pads and finishing pads. Here are the results...

Before....Dull and no depth or gloss to the paint.

I've never seen such amazing reflections from a car. Wow! :notworthy:

It's very satisfying when hours of hard work yield such great results.

We used the Meguiars Micro fibre correction system , with great results. Probably 90% of defects removed. There is infomation about the kit on Detailing world >>> http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=232766

Incredible results, better than when it rolled of the production line I hazard to guess!  :notworthy: :notworthy:

How long did the whole process take? Have read through the link you posted, very good write up (advertisement) by Megs and really interesting stuff. Is the Correction System easy to apply, seems straight forward and with the rock hard VAG paint this could be just the thing.

How many pads did you use for each of the 2 stages. I was thinking of getting 2 of each and using a Pad Conditioning Brush to keep them fresh and less clogged up.

Cheers, Martin
