2012 Golf R, Prep and Opti-Guard application.


New Golf R in for Opti-Guard treatment. Overall the paint was in great shape with only the B pillars and a few areas needing considerable amounts of correction. There was some very odd marks on this car however which I've never seen on a new car before. They looked like abrasion marks almost like what you see back in the days when owners put vinyl bras on the front of there car and they flapped in the wind, slowly abrading the paint. One area behind the front wheel was all they way down to the primer and it was in the same location on all 4 wheel wells. The lower side spoilers also had the marks in several areas. I was able to remove them in most areas...if anyone else has seen this on new Golf R's let me know.

Justin came in to help out on this one too.

Process:

Wash - Foamed with OPC/CGCW followed by 2BM wash and CGCW
Wheels - P21S Gel and various brushes
Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing 3:1
Paint prep - Nanoskin towel and Glide s lube, Nanoskin fine pad on glass.
Spot correction step - D300/M105 mix on the GG6 with Megs MF cutting pads
Finishing Step - 106fa via DA and crimson LC pads
Protection - Optimum Opti-Guard

Great work! I just had one in the other day from a good client of mine.....same color. He decided to downsize from a 2007 S8. On another note, how do you like your lift?

 

[tropicsteve]

is that rated "r" for "rasky" or "r" for the the nice "reflections" after you finished ?

LOL. That's crazy! I have a black one booked in July and the owner used to have an S8 as well. He has the stage 1 mod on the R now and said it faster than his S8 was now.

Love the lift! Has made life so much better and I actually enjoy plishign the lowers and bumper covers now!
