Lastweek Zydo6 sent me a PM to ask about detailing his Mk6 GTi for him. I had a spot open for the very next day and he agreed to take the spot. He came to drop the car off at around 9am and I started working right away. The car was extremely dirty due to all the rain we are having atm so I decided to give the interior a quick clean to compliment my work on the exterior. After the interior was finished I washed the car to see the true condition of the paint. The car looked dirty even after a wash. There were small spots all over the car, in the most hard to reach places too :cry: I clayed the car and got out my polisher and some Menz products to tackle the paint. After 2 passes I finished the paintwork off with my Menz PL to give the car the ultimate shine it needed. Lightning was very poor since it had been cloudy the whole day. Pity I couldn't get the car into the sun to show how awesome the paint now looks.

I had a blast working on this car. Every minute spent on this car was worth it, justified by 1 smile, 1 facial expression to show me how much the owner appreciated the work being carried out on his car when he walked up and felt the paint surface.

Looks good!

How much correction did you have to do to the paint? Which Menz products did you use?

I own a black Mk6 that will need some correction once Spring returns to our hemisphere and I'm trying to get a feel for what people like to use on VW paint.

Thanx bud. I used FG400 and SF4000 and then finished with PowerLock.
