That looks amazing Stevie, really stunning.  Superb work by the detailer - you and the Mrs must be thrilled, not that it should've been necessary in the first place, but now it's better than new.  :cool:

Good for you for being persistent and getting the outcome you deserve. :smiley:

Thanks Bec.
Yeah I had planned on getting it protected anyway but it should never have been presented in this manner.

Lovely job. Well done for holding out to get it done properly. Might make that dealership take a bit more care. Then again............  :huh:

Looks great - bet you're well chuffed with the results! Then again like you say - it shouldn't have been anything like that in the firstplace.

I'll definitely be 100% making sure the dealers don't prep mine in any way when it comes in! :smiley:

Just read the whole thread and always good to see a happy ending :laugh:.

I'm getting ready to send my 18 month GTI PP off for detailing.  I bought mine second hand and on first sight you think the paint is great but then during the first hand wash you start to notice things.  Being metallic black the swirls show up much more than when I owned silver cars.  I use invisible touch detailing based in Surrey.  They did a great job on my Corrado VR6 Storm a few year's ago.

Used cars often look good on the forecourt as they will generally have a glaze laden with fillers smeared all over them.

P3asa, your car looks spot on now. Just how it should have been to begin with.
