2013 Volkswagen Golf R Detail
New client sought me out for getting his Golf R looking as it should, 2K or so on the odometer and the car needed some correction in spots but the finish over all was nice(Should be as it is new................. conventional wisdom would say) but that is not reality as dealerships are damaging cars more than ever.
As it came in.
As it was a warm day, I washed the car in the cool of the evening. Starting the decon step.
New cars do not need any decon.......................
As mentioned, the finish was good but there were some RIDS and defects like this.
The dealership which sold the car uses a automatic tunnel wash, here in concert with UV damage had the trim looking ugly.
Stripping away the dead dryness.
Clean trim on the left, dry on the right.
Super soft painted B Pillars were looking bad.
Checking correction with the LED, both sides would take hours to safely correct and finish down(62 microns in parts of the pillars!!!!!!).
Finally.........................
Tunnel washes are GREAT for the painted surfaces.
Tunnel wash scratch abatement.
Dirty wheels.
Clean wheels now ready for Opti-coat.
Hydrophobic properties of Opti-coat.
Since the wheels were off.......................doing what I do.

Infratech inspection.
Sonax Net Shield going on so stripping anything off.
Lower parts of the car getting all my attention (DIR).
Easy to scratch black grills on point.
The result we all strive for.
