Having detailed my first Mk5 R32 last week,
here.
I had the pleasure today of this Mk4 R32, another first for me also,
Booked in for a 1 day enhancement/correctional detail on what was to be a grey and miserable day but dry nevertheless.
Firstly the vehicle was pre-foamed using BH Autofoam, whilst this was dwelling and working it's magic, attention was payed to the alloys, arches and tyres using Megs Super degreaser and various brushes,
Shuts and trim cleaned using a soft detailing brush and Megs APC,
Autofoam dwelling and breaking down soiling,
Pressure rinsed of, followed by a 2nd weaker mix to lubricate the surface, then washed in the usual manner TBM with Megs Shampoo+ and Zym@l sponges, rinsed and clayed whilst wet using Megs mild clay and last touch as a lubricant, lastly re-rinsed and dried using Uber plush towels,
General defects,
Started of with a combination of the new Menzerna 203s on a Visomax combination pad, unfortunately after two hits this was having little effect on the rock hard VAG paint, after trying various other approaches I settled upon 3m Fast-cut on a Megs cutting pad (purple), this required several sets of passes on each panel, working up gradually to 1800rpm and back down to 1200rpm for final passes,
Pre-finishing polish,
50/50,
Complete,
Rear lights de-swirled using a 100mm ccs pad and IP 3.02,
With the cutting stage complete, the vehicle was re-rinsed to remove dusting and dried once again, this was then followed up with Clearkote red & vanilla moose mix and a 3m finishing pad to refine the finish and prepare for wax,
Exhausts and brightwork polished using Britemax metal duo, 2 part polish and sealeant,
Arches and plastic trim dressed with Megs all seasons,
Alloys sealed using Opti-seal and tyres dressed with Blackfire gel,
Paintwork waxed using Swissvax Best of Show, glass cleaned using DG glass polish on a
AG palm applicator, residue buffed of and a final wipedown using Z-8,
Results.
Thanks for looking and comments welcome & appreciated as always.
