Quick enhancement detail - Tornado Red Golf GTI

[RussZS]

I spent today getting burnt to a crisp whilst tidying up my mates dads Golf GTI. I agreed to help clay it to get the tree sap and crap off it, but ended up doing my best to deswirl it in the time I had.

It was washed by my mate (AS Shampoo) and left wet for me.

I then:

- Clayed with I4D Yellow Clay and AS Reglaze
- De-tar'd with Tardis
- Washed with Dodo BTBM

The car was then assessed for swirls using a DIY Sun Gun, to reveal...

I wasn't in the mood for, and didn't have the time to, fully correct this, so expecting it to be rock hard, I decided to lightly "enhance" using Dodo Juice Lime Prime.

I used my CP Rotary and Megs Polishing pads to reveal...

Just goes to show, you can't "assume" something is "hard" or "soft" - I was certainly surprised anyway...

Not bad huh?

I finished up with Dodo Supernatural (my mate has a pot, so best option to maintain with, and add additional layers etc)

Just a quick one, but a pleasure, and such a lovely car. It's only done 6000 miles!

Great work . Lovely car, I've never seen a GTI I've liked so much.

 

[RussZS]

Nor me, the Audi S-Line wheels in 19" really look good on the MK5!

Cheers

Nice to see lime prime and megs pads bring up a nice finish...



Mainly because I'm about to get stuck into an M3 with a similar combination!

 

[RussZS]

Best of luck with it Dave. BMW paint, generally, is an arse lol!
