It's been a while since I shared any detailing on here 
Another Golf R from me
I get to work on a lot of these cars, typically 1 or 2 a month since 2016, making them the car I've detailed the most.
This particular example was booked in for an Enhancement Detail to knock back the swirls and general marring on the paint. Being a daily driven car, the owner did not want to chase perfection but just bring some gloss back and enjoy it.
The paintwork was then protected with WaxedShine PPS Pro ceramic coating for up to 5 years of 9H protection
The order of the detail,
Wheels, tyres and arches cleaned
Citrus pre-wash
Snow foam
2 bucket method contact wash
Tar removal
Iron fallout removal
Clay bar
Panel wipe
Single stage machine polish
Panel wipe
WaxedShine PPS Pro ceramic protection
Exterior glass coated
wheels sealed with ODK Waxes Momentum
Exhaust tips polished
Exterior trims dressed
The car on arrival.
