Yesterday I did a full detail on my neighbours car, a black VW Golf Mk IV. Here are some before pics:
The car looks in pretty good condition on first glance, but the sun brings out it's hidden secrets:
Steps taken:
- Washed the car (the owner did it)
- Did a testspot on the hood of the car, with #80 and a DA machine (AEG EXE 460 for those who want to know), and #80 did the trick.
- Started claying the car, and oh boy, it needed that! On some places we had to clay the same spot 3 times to get it smooth! Unfortunaltly the picture of the clay didn't come out that good...
- Taped the car. The owner started detailing the inside of the car.
- After the #80 waxed the car with the NXT wax and let it cure for half an hour.
- Topped it with the Gold Class Liquid Wax
- The unpainted bodyparts are done with NXT Tech protect, tires with the tire gel, headlights and rearlights with Plast-X
Here are the pictures!:

After clay and #80:

After #80 and before waxing:
The after shots and some reflection shots:
The swirl problem in the earlier pictures is gone:
Didn't get all the swirls and scratches out, but it's a 90% improvement!

way to go
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to see it.
