VW Jetta Turnaround by Advanced Detailing of South Florida

[Advanced Detailing]

I received a call from the owner of this jetta who runs a very well known shop here in So Fla. He saw a restored 300ZX TT and 530i that i had done for one of his customers.

In the meantime i also did a newly acquired E39 M5 for that same client that i will post up some other time.

Well, the jetta actually belongs to the shop owner's daughter and he was about to bring it back up her in NC i believe.

They are the original owners and her realized that the paint needed attention but also that it would continue to be driven daily by his daughter.

I figured that i would use this job as my introduction to the shop even though they had already seen my work.

By the time i was done though, i got the CTS-V coupe and another Phantom, other than the one i posted, as new clients.

That Phantom was getting new 26" rims that had just been delivered to the shop.



Process:

Wash to strip off any possible waxes remaining

Clayed as it was surely needed



Makita rotary

Menz SIP/3M black pad

Menz 106/3M blue pad

Possibly PO85, not sure about that



The owner was even surprised when i showed him what the paint actually looked like

Nice turnaround on a really trashed paint!

Very nice. I might be doing the same car with same paint condition in a month or two. Do you think SIP with a DA will get the same results? I have Power gloss on my shelf, too.

Wait, so you can't remember if you finished with 85RD or not?

Powergloss IMO is useless since M105 came out. I can't even find anyone to take it off my hands. In my experience SIP works nicer on the DA and doesn't load up the pad as much as on a rotary.

Actually i am not certain if i did or not. The reason being, i did this car a couple of months back and i do stay pretty busy so sometimes i can't recall what exactly i used.

If i would post the work immediately it would be different.

Maybe write it down so you remember? Just a thought....
