00' Atlantic Blue Jetta

[m3tal]

Had my first chance to experience how hard VW CC is! This one took almost 8 hours total for exterior and interior somehow. Someone had keyed the right side of the car, both doors and front fender as you'll see in the pics, but most of it wasn't down to primer so its 75% gone now. I'll let the pics do the talkin.

Exterior
Wash
Clayed
SSR2.5 on LC Orange pad
Megs #9 on LC White pad
Klasse SG
S100
Wheels sealed with SG as well
Black Magic on tires
Stoners IG on windows

Interior
Vaccum interior
Carpets cleaned w/ mixture of Woolight, extracted with BLGM
Interior plastic + vinyl cleaned and dressed with 303 Aerospace

You can see the area thats been keyed in this pic

Clean those wheel wells!

Otherwise looks like a great turnaround.

He is right. Stands out like a sore thumb man. My customers can't believe that I clean them on their rides but love it! They tell me they never get them done as well as door jams.

Can you believe it?!?!?

This belongs in the Extreme Makeovers forum! Excellent results! But I concur with the others, wheel wells need attention.

Thanks, I can't believe I forgot the wells! Usually I get em done, then dress them with the tires, but I guess I was preoccupied with something that day. She was amazed at how much of the scratch I took out though, and what I used under the door handles was the same as the rest of the car. SSR2.5 on a light cutting pad, then #9 on a polishing pad.

How deep were them key marks? Could you feel them with your finger or nail? I have some deep ones and guy i work with detailed and seen my car and said they can't come out. They look almost like yours. How did you get them out? Thanks.

Some parts were fairly light to medium, then there were parts down to the primer, which is that little V part left on the fender, and a bit on the doors. I could feel almost all of it with my finger, but some parts only with my nail. I just used SSR 2.5 on a light cutting pad and worked the area for a bit longer than the rest of the car, seemed to work well.
