Just thought I would share this one with you. It belongs to one of our customers who has had his 911 and Vantage paint corrected and has bought this Beetle for his daughter as a surprise present.
I did the paint correction before christmas ready for her birthday in January and, if I must say so myself, what a turn-around.
The car was very badly swirled and had been machined polished at some point during its life as it was covered in buffer trails.
Steps:
Wash (Soaked with TFR and then rinsed and washed)
Clay
1st stage polish: Menz 3.02 with Menz Orange pad on rotary
2nd stage polish: Menz PO85RD with Megs Yellow pad on PC
Paint cleanse
Waxed with Zymol Royale
Anyway, enough talking, the pics speak for themselves.
