Tornado Red MK7 VW GTI detailing done, not satisfied with the outcome?

Sounds like one of the high volume chains near me. I even had a potential customer ask to have me match their Groupon deal of $100 inside/out. Told them no, its not the same level of work

Agreed, and lesson learned

Maybe that could be possible, the GTI's for USA are made in Mexico and the ones for Europe are made in Germany.

I think this is only true for GTI's and regular Golf's. From what I understand, the R's are still built in Germany due to the AWD drive train. I don't think the Mexico plant is producing AWD cars (i.e. the R) until MY17 or MY18. We'd need to compare VIN's to know for sure.

I actually did a new red jetta the other day in the same color. Using megs D 300 / 302 I was able to make a scratched / swirled / sapped roof / hood / trunk near perfect, and then 301 the entire car in under an hour.

Big thanks too all of you for warm welcome and help with confirming my suspicions, i will keep you updated on how things will resolve with the detailer.

Any update trmk7gti? Hope it all was worked out in the end.

I would not be satified with that result and have corrected Mk7's and found the paint to be pretty reasonable.. certainly not soft but not difficult to remove swirls. i din't even use wool or MF on it.. just a heavy cut foam pad (Lake country yellow and Scholl S3 as i recall.. being the most agressive).
with Scholl S20 and Scholl blue spider for the majority and it was glass like afterwards....

I would discuss the results with the detailer.... it is possible a panel was missed due to interuption or some event during the work.. thats not good but folks do make mistakes.. (benefit of the doubt here),..

See what they say.
