VW Paint-suggestions?
Hopefully will be picking up a new gli in pure gray or a medium blue in the next couple of months. If I can find one that is in transit, I am hoping to be able to prevent the dealer from touching it. I am hopeful, but not betting on it.
it’s been a few years since I owned a vw. What polish/compound/pad would you suggest for minor to moderate defects? One step preferable, as this will be a daily driver.
thanks.

Re: VW Paint-suggestions?
I don’t know about the Jetta but the GTI I own has hard clear. To fix anything other than marring it needs a microfiber pad and something like Jescar Correcting Compound. I’m sure Rupes yellow wool would work well too but I never tried. For finishing I like Rupes yellow pad and Carpro Essence. If you’re trying a single step and your paint is also hard, Rupes yellow wool with their DA fine might very well be enough to correct and finish in one.

I also own a VAG (Audi) vehicle and would recommend the yellow Rupes wool pad paired with Carpro Essence. It’s a nice combo, foam won’t much on that clear. Share some pics.

Ooh, I haven't tried those yet. Would probably match well with the Makita, you like the way those pads finish in one step?

Re: VW Paint-suggestions?
When I owned a black Mk6 GTI, my favorite combination was Blackfire's Compound with a white Lake Country Flat or ThinPro pad. This allowed me to do a one-step polish on mild defects very easily.
The Blackfire compound isn't as aggressive as some, and when paired with a white LC pad provides about the right level of cut, yet it finishes out perfectly for a one-step job.

Menzerna 2500.
Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber, and Uro-Tec Yellow.
This will give you a couple of options, as the Uro-Fiber will cut more, and the yellow foam can finish better. You might be able to get the job done with one or the other, but if not, you have another option.
I've been using 3D ONE more lately with those pads, but the Menz 2500 has always been favorite for it's ability to correct and finish on a wide variety of paints.
Sonax Cut and Finish is another great one.

Haven't tried it on a VW/Audi but I second this combo for hard(er) paints.
