Had a bit of a battle with the British summertime weather but got there in the end. Just finished off with Gyeon Primer ready to coat tomorrow.

This is the before


These are after but not great quality

Looking really good. T Cross I'm picking up has the usual car wash swirl marks, so it needs a full polish. I'm hoping a single stage will do, otherwise it's a long process...

I think you could use Primer as a single stage to be honest, or Gyeon Polish either would work I’d say.

When I'm working on VAG group paintwork majority of the time I reach for Koch Chemie F6 or M3 if it's light to medium defects. Gyeon Primer is a finishing polish so will be similar to KC M3.

One of the few polishes that don't rip your shoulder out when buffing them off.

The finished product after 2 coats of Gyeon Mohs. My first time ever applying a “proper” ceramic coating. Truly enjoyable experience minus having to fight with the rain!

Certainly an improvement, I think the previous owner had been washing it with sandpaper  :grin:
