This is a car that was bought new from one of Irelands biggest VW dealerships and this is how the dar was delivered to him. On complaining the dealership could not see any problem stating that all the cars looked like that and what was the problem! Anyhow the car in question is a 2012 Sirocco R in Black Magic Pearl and to be honest the owner though the car was solid black the flake was totally dead with buffer trails and deep swirling covering the entire car. Other than that it was in good condition. On arrival the car was washed and decontaminated. It was then stripped of any remaining protection to see what exactly we were dealing with. Swirling everywhere and deep RDS. Buffer trails galore! Firstly before we could start the evening before the car was delivered, it picked up a nasty door dent when parked in a carpark so “THE DUDE” was called to save the day. Some say he can remove a dent simply by thinking about it but all we know is he’s called “THE DUDE”! Thanks to superior build quality, the door panel had to be stripped and it was a right pain to access it but he got there. Before: During: After: Onto correction: For this, we corrected the car with Maguire’s Microfibre system by DA then refined using Maguire’s 105 on a 3M yellow pad stepping down to Maguire’s 205 on 3m yellow then blue pads. Once correction was complete on each panel it was wiped down with IPA to ensure all marks that could be removed were removed, tehn it was refined and finished to give a deep reflection and maximise the “pop” from the metal flake. For LSP of choice, we used Zaino Z2 Pro with Z6 between each coat. Then the car was finished with Orchard Autocare Perfection on all surfaces including glass paint and trim. Tyres were dressed with Zaino Z16 (4 coats). The engine bay was dressed with Aerospace 303. Exhausts were polished and sealed using Orchard Autocare Metal restore. Wheels Sealed usining several coats of Zaino Z2 and then Zaino Clear Seal. Now onto the afters! Many thanks for taking time to read our thread and I hope u liked it. As usual all C&C are more than welcome. Rollo..
great job on the vehicle. i like the rims, not too complicated, and pretty darn easy to clean. thanks for sharing.
Nice job man! I've had customers that didn't realize their car had flake to it also. Nothing better than a super clean metallic black.
