2008 GTI w/ approx 15k miles.
Exterior detail only.
The dealership was kind enough to wash it for the client and then they buffed it out as well.
The wash they did left some not so nice RIDS, and the buffing left this:
I started by rinsing everything off and sprayed PS21s wheel cleaning gel to the wheels. I let this dwell while I washed the car with Z7 car wash and the 2BM.
I sprayed the wells and tires with AM red hot APC and scrubbed them.
I then scrubbed the wheels with various wheel cleaning brushes.
Gave everything a good rinse and then clayed the car with Zaino clay and Z6 as a lube. Rinsed the car once more and then dried with quality WW MFs.
I wiped the paint down with IPA.
I compounded the paint with what Rydawg calls "da ballz" combo.
Here you can see the light holograms on the right from where the paint was compounded and on the left you can see the RIDS and heavy holograms:
Most areas had to be compounded twice.
I then final polished the paint with ZPC/Flex 3401/green german CCS at 5. I then did a wipedown with Z6.
Here are some after polishing pics:
You might note a light hologram left near the gas cap in this pic. I repolished the area w/ ZPC before applying a LSP.
I then applied 2x of Z5pro with ZFX followed by Z8.
Final pics:
