A local VW owner contacted me last week about cleaning up this car before he tries to sell it.
Process
Wash/clay
-Two bucket wash
-DP Extreme Auto foam/Dawn mix via AG Foam cannon
-Pinnacle Clay bar
Wheels/Tires
-Various Brushes w/ P21s Wheel Gel
-Optimum Optibond tire gel
Correction
-PCXP 7424
-Megs 105 w/ LC Orange pad
-Megs 205 w/ LC White pad
LSP
-Klasse High Gloss sealant
-DoDo Juice Purple Haze
All exterior textured trim received some Black WoW
Total Time: 14 Hrs..
I didnt have my camera for this entire detail so I didnt take any pics before the wash. Here are a few pics showing the condition of the paint after the wash and clay. As you can see the finish was pretty hammered with plenty of spider swirls and holograms.
Here is a decent sun shot of the Rear quarter panel and rear door, as you can see the finish is very dull and has a decent amount of swirls and holo's.
The entire car's finish was just dull and lacking luster.
Not to mention that the roof was extremely oxidized.
As was the trunk lid.
After testing a small spot on the hood I decided that 2 passes with m105 on an LC Orange pad followed by 2 passes of m205 on a LC White pad would do the trick as usual.
Here is the rear quarter panel after 2 passes of M105 on an Orange LC pad. As you can see we have made huge improvements and removed almost all imperfections.
A semi 50/50 shot of this area
Now moving on to the lower portion, dont worry I went back and hit all the crevices.
Before
After one pass with M105 on Orange LC.
I then followed up after this shot with another pass of m105 on orange and 2 more passes with m205 on white. I followed this process for the entire car.
Finally some gloss was restored.
Now on the the roof. Which was extremely oxidized. It required 2 passes with a LC Yellow foamed wool w/ m105 and followed by the LC Orange on 105 for 1 pass and 3 passes with m205 on white.
Before
50/50
After
Since I didnt have my camera the entire detail I appoligize for the lack shots of other panels and of the full car. I however did have the camera the night I finished and below will show some shots of the correction using different lighting and before LSP
Camera flash and a handheld shop light
Now on to the afters. These are after the Klasse High gloss sealant and a coat of DoDo Juice Purple haze. I would have to say that i absolutly hate removing Klasse but i believe the results are worth the effort. The Dodo Juice was extremely easy to remove.
Again sorry for the lack of pictures and the sun was moving fast when I got home so I didnt get many after sun shots.
And a nice reflection
Some before and afters
