  • 1991 Volkswagen Corrado - Paint correction

    Hi all,
    So i'm a big fan of Meguiar's, I have been doing detailing on my own car a few times, worked by hand until now.
    Got the G220, m105, m205, pads, the whole package. also bought the Gold class wax, until today I was using the NXT 2.0 wax which is a great product, but i wanted to try something else.
    Working by hand gave good results, but not what I was looking for. I wanted those swirls and water marks out of my paint. this car has more then 20 years, I don't drive it that much, mainly weekends, so this work is gonna last a long time. I also don't realy drive the car when it rains.
    So enough talking, I got some pictures to show you, let them do the talking:
    (First thing car got washed and clayed)













    m105 is AWESOME! best thing ever! never been easier to take out swirls and water marks !! m205 is also unbelievable!!
    Didn't see much difference between the NXT 2.0 and the gold class wax, both are great! i guess I just feel more comfortable with the paste form.
    Thank you guys for the great tips and answers, All I have learned is from this forum,

    Cheers from Israel!

    Hood, which actually needs to be repainted, but I'll wait...i'll paint the whole car when I will be able to afford it.
    After first pass:



    Back of the car (after m205, before wax)
    I know I could have done a bit better to get a 100% smooth paint, but as I don't have a PTG, I don't want to take any risks, good enough for me:

      That hood in the video really shows what you were facing! Good save

        Fantastic turn around on this car! It really was in desperate need of help and you sure helped it - it looks great now!

              Very nice job indeed!
              Wait until you try the Micro Fiber Pads. Get those asap.
              M105 is the king and M205 is the Queen of Detailing.
              with these 2 products I can tackle just about anything.
              D301 on an MF Pad is really getting alot of attention from me lately too. It corrects, wipes of easy and makes the car smell great! After working a car for 10 hours the last thing I want to do is "fight wipe" the wax off!
