A little while back I was contacted by a new forum member about bringing in his 2017 VW GTI for a coating job. Turns out he was referred to me by some of the forum members here in a thread he posted asking for a professional detailer.
Here`s the thread. Thanks again everyone for putting him in contact with me. Means more than you know!

So onto the goods. Sean purchased himself a nice 2017 VW GTI and we decided on IGL Quartz+ to protect the paint. The interior would also get a nice steaming and freshening up as he had already put 2k miles on it.
Here she is upon arrival. Usual dirt, grime and tons of brake dust.
Wheels/Tires
Mckees extreme Iron remover
Wheel woolies
Mckees tire and rubber rejuvenator
Mckees gloss tire gel
Sealed with Mckees Hydro Blue
Paint Wash/Decontamination
Carpro Reset 2BM
Nanoskin medium grade prep sponge
Various brushes for nooks etc
Guzzler drying towel
Paint Machine polishing
BOSS G21, Rupes yellow pad, m205
Rupes Nano Ibrid, Rupes yellow pad, m205
After decon the paint was in pretty nice shape and a medium polish took care of the defects. I did have to spot compound a couple spots but no big deal. I didn`t grab any correction shots mainly because the defects were very shallow and hard to film on this metallic paint.
LSP - IGL Quartz+ ceramic coating and IGL Premier.
Trim was coated too.
Almost there!!!
All done!
One cool thing he had on this car was his front license plate bracket. It screws into the front bumper where a tow hook would go. Pretty neat! Just simply unscrew clean and replace!!
