2010 VW Polo - 2010 modell
This is a job that came upon a reques from a customer to Swissvax Norway. The car had been in at a local care care center, to apply paint-conservation of the "long-lasting" type(no names named). Customer was very disapointet with the job, something you should not be for a ÂŁ900 job including paint correction.
This was a job for B&B detailing team, and we thought this would be a easy job....
The car was dirty after a drive on the highway to our place:
Some evidence from the previous car care:
A bird felt like opening its cloaca upon delivery:
Driver side before washing:
Despite the fact that it's not Tuesday or Thursday, Lars decided to drop in:
Since the water has frozen where we are located, Bernhard had filled up some buckets prior. Bernhard filled up a low pressure pump with water and ONR to loosen up a bit of the surface dirt:
Notice the precision with pouring water without looking at the bottle.. Keepin it real
:
Lots of water is good:
Say CHEEEEEESE:
Wow, the water also comes down
Swissvax Wheel on the wheels and tires, mixed 1/3:
Swissvax Wheel Brush is a useful tool:
Lots of dirt in the tires:
Brynjar whasing the inside of the wheels with a "Vikan brush":
Brynjar love to be photographed:
Rinse well:
Brynjar washing the car with ONR and SV washpudel:
Bernhard did a little a taste of the ONR water.. Yummy!!:
Brynjar continued the wash. How gentle this was, we never really managed to conclude since there was a lot of scratches from before. We sprayed a good amount of ONR on the panel before we went over with the mit, which was dipped in the ONR bucket. (same bucket as Brynjar dipped his head in on the Audi A3 thread):
Getting rid of some water:
And Brynjar continues to wash:
B&B Detailing Team's public face:
Not this one:
Then over to the claying. SV Paint Rubber blue and QF:
Bernhard working the clay:
Drying was also included:
Door hinges was also dried(Notice the the expression Lars have on every picture):
Then over to a proper inspection:
Then it was over to find the right combo. We thought this was goint to be a straighforward job that was done in two days, but boy we were wrong.
On the pics that follow, we are in full swing to test the combos, and we tried the following:

Keepin it real:
Inspection of the results? Nope, not there:
Bernhard got desperate:
Here's why:
Nothing left a good finish... All pads made micro swirls and the MF was linting.. Schaize!!:
This is from after a round of PO85RD where the results are seemingly spot on.. We also did a relief hug prior to the wipe-off. Praing that holding hands will help:
Was it better.. Nope!:
Caving in:
Bernhard gets an idea to mix a bit on a pad:
This must be good! Unfortunately, no after photo here, but it was certainly not good.
This was the hook on the door for day 1, tired and frustrated we went our seperate ways with plans for a fresh start on Tuesday.
