Hey guys, heres another detail. Car was in pretty rough shape and had some major swirls but got it looking good again. Here are the pictures.
When it arrived
Clay bar removed lots of brake dust around the wheel well area
After the clay bar I gave the car a thorough wipedown with isopropyl acohol to remove any oils or dust to see what was underneath. You might not like the next few pics...
Using my fenix tk10 to show swirls and the flake in the paint
After shot using same light source
50/50 shot, Right side down after 1 step, still needs a finishing polish to remove hazing
Didnt get many during pictures but here is the end result, swirl free
Dang, now you can see all the dents.
And youre deff doing my Dubwagon. Hopefully you can get rid of the oxidation.
Then the Fit will follow.
Yeah now that the reflection is much more clear you can see all the dents I only saw one major dent which appeared to be a door ding on the drivers side door.
Im sure ill be able to get rid of the oxidation on the VW. They have a tough clear coat compared to Honda's which make correction on them alot harder, but theyre also usually in better shape since they dont swirl as easily. Hondas get swirled if you look at them the wrong way...

Thanks for all the compliments.
Excellent work! My fit is only a few weeks old, but I am sure I will be calling upon your services in the future since you are local. Those SSR wheels look amazing on that GD! I still wonder if I could pull off a 15" on my GE?
Car was washed with Chemical guys CWC. Cleaned wheels and tires with optimum power clean. Car was clayed using meguiars mild clay and optimum no rinse diluted 1:10 with pure de-ionized water as clay lube. After that it was wiped down using 91% isopropyl acohol then went to polishing. Started out with Menzerna SIP on an orange pad and finished with Menzerna 106fa on a white pad.
Did another alcohol wipe down after polishing to give the sealant a better surface to bond too. Sealed it off with meguiars #21 left to cure for about half an hour. Followed with a coat of meguiars #26. Followed with another coat of optimum car wax which is a spray wax. Helps removed any previous sealant/wax residue I mightve missed. When that cured about half an hour later I gave the car a wipe down using FK 425 to remove any dust it gathered from sitting in my garage and remove any residue I mightve missed.
Adams V.R.T. was used for the tires. Optimum power clean and FK 425 was used on the door jambs. Stoners invisible glass for the windows. Also used FK 425 as a sealant for the windows, they bead up water and roll off like crazy.
