2012 Volkswagen Golf R Detail With AQuartz

Just completed in the shop, this Golf R is brand new and the owner wanted the best clarity and shine along with a coating to give him the best protection as well. The vehicle did not need massive correction but there were a few deep RIDS and some marring especially on the "B-pillars" with the supersoft paint.

Before the wash/decon steps.

After a little effort, correction was achieved and the readings were healthy for the finish still(134microns).
