scratch/chip repair and full detail on my mk3 gti

Post by dubplate Dan »

as some of you know my mk3 has some scratches down the sides so i ordered some touch up from lupogtiboy :emthup: last month and set to work on these scratches and chips on the bonnet and wings

first port of call was to prep the scratches and clean the many layers of sealant and wax that its had put on it in the last 2 years.

preping!!! DONE

now for the paint, mystic blue pearl:)

i then filled the scratches with the paint,

once done i used a hairdryer to bake the paint on.
next stage was to flaten the paint down with some wet and dry 1200grit on a 3m finesse-it hand sanding pad and some prima quick detailer for lubrication

paint is now flush with the body,
next stage:
rotary mop with red soft mop head, autosmart evo fine compound

with the scratches mopped back smooth again i then applyed some ez creme glaze
Image
then some factorysealant

and then finally some purple haze dodojuice
