Medium swirls and some larger/deeper scratches. As usual with this VAG cars, the paint was very hard
so I decided to test my 6" wool pad from Buffandshine and Menzerna PO85RD3.02 with my Flex rotary.

Spread the polish @ 900, stepped up to 1900rpm and finished with a couple of passes @ 900. This gave
a very good cut with none to very little hazing.

As a final step I used a new finishing pad and Menzerna PO106FA. Spread @ 900 and up to 2300 until the polish
became clear, finished @ 900.

Wiped of the polish residues with a couple of MF towels.

After this I cleaned the paint with R2000 paint cleaner with my TopTool and finishing pads. Wipe off
with a MF towel.

Sealed the car with R2000 paint sealant using the TopTool.

Then I went home for a shower and dinner.

Next day I wiped of the sealant, it came off like a breeze even after 12 hours.

Gave the car a final touch, dressed trim(with Concept chemicals - Vista) and tires(Allbrite tyre shine?)

Glass was sealed with Res-Bona nano glass treatment.

Interior was done by a friend(Thanks Hulden :D) of mine, vacum, wipe down with a rug upholstery cleaner from Allbrite (love this stuff!)and glass was cleaned.

On the driver door I used a different combo to eliminate the swirls.

The only products used on that door is Menzerna PO85RD3.02. Weapon of choice was TopTool and compounding pads.

You can also se my buddy who did the interior :D

Thanks for looking
 
I know that black is always beautiful when done properly, yet a good dark blue is pretty darn close. Great reflection.
 
Porta....is that R2000 the new stuff that Festool came out with......I heard some thing about it but was not sure if this is the same...and if is whats your opinion of it

Porta never mind..the Festool polishes have a different number..theirs is like R8000...
