Title: Detailed pics of Edition. 30 :D
Post by: Keano on 05 July 2010, 22:16

Hey guys :wave:

This was my first ever attempt on VAG paint and first ever correction of my new car, and I must say, I wasn't prepared. Took about 9 hours from wash stage to wiping the last bit of residue dust off.

Managed to get about 75% swirl correction. I could have done with a harsher pad i think.

Products used were:

Valet Pro - PH Neutral Snow Foam 
Chemical guys- Citrus was and gloss
CYC- Fine poly clay
Menzerna Orange Cutting pad
Menzerna Power finish
Menzerna Final finish
Country lake fine polish pad
Collinite 476 wax
Dodo juice - Red mist

Unfortunatley the SD card wasnt plugged in for the correction shots!! :mad::mad::doublesho

Here are some finished ones though :thumb:

Let me know what you think.

Thanks :)

What the OP didn't tell us is that his Edition 30 was originally black. But the machine burnt his paint that much he got it resprayed Tornado Red hence the perfect finish  :laugh:
