    New Golf R in for Opti-Guard treatment. Overall the paint was in great shape with only the B pillars and a few areas needing considerable amounts of correction. There was some very odd marks on this car however which I've never seen on a new car before. They looked like abrasion marks almost like what you see back in the days when owners put vinyl bras on the front of there car and they flapped in the wind, slowly abrading the paint. One area behind the front wheel was all they way down to the primer and it was in the same location on all 4 wheel wells. The lower side spoilers also had the marks in several areas. I was able to remove them in most areas...if anyone else has seen this on new Golf R's let me know.

    Justin came in to help out on this one too. :)

    Process:

    Wash - Foamed with OPC/CGCW followed by 2BM wash and CGCW
    Wheels - P21S Gel and various brushes
    Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing 3:1
    Paint prep - Nanoskin towel and Glide s lube, Nanoskin fine pad on glass.
    Spot correction step - D300/M105 mix on the GG6 with Megs MF cutting pads
    Finishing Step - 106fa via DA and crimson LC pads
    Protection - Optimum Opti-Guard
