"Roc R GP" Detailed by Etiennè

[Deranged_9n3]

First week of Feb saw me extremely busy with DubFest 2k15 preps. First up was Rughoo's smoking hot Roc .:R

The car had just come back from the body shop, front end got resprayed. When he dropped the car off we had a brief chat, but it was dark and I couldn't see the true condition, although I had noticed another hack job from the body shop. He didn't see it under the street lights, but the next morning my suspicion was confirmed :grin:



The bonnet and front bumper had been badly 'polished' :bang: all of this on a brand new paint job, scares the SH^T out of me !!!

As usual I started off with the wheels and wheel arches
Before






I cleaned them using various products and brushes, multiple steps and this was the aftermath
After


The engine bay needed some loving too ops:
Before








Again, various techniques and products were involved in cleaning the bay

I then got to work on the paint. Multi-stage wash, followed by decontamination and finally time for some correction. Here is 2 before and afters I snapped on the day
Before vs After




For some reason I cannot find my actual 50:50 pics of the paint correction :bang:

The car came out looking sweet AF !! Here is a couple of after pictures I have

Nice job! I really hate that we didn't get the new Rocco here.

White can be a tough color to make it really pop, but it looks great.
On cars that have been freshly painted is it recommended to skip the LSP?

Do you guys have this model in place of the Golf? I really like the look of that car.
