mk2 golf gti wet flatting, compounding and such

[chrisdovey]

my dad fully restored his golf a while ago and had a full respray done. so hes just got round to wet flatting it back. and now my go cutting back cg diamond cut 2000, then some pb ssr2.
started of with the dull flat surface then went over twice which was shiny but left lot of marks still. so then went over it with ssr twice to further remove the marks


heres some pics.

now after two go with the 2000 it looked shiny

but i was actually left with this

so went at with the ssr2 and first going over with left me with this

then did another go with ssr2 which left it near pefect

and now for some reflection shots

i cannot believe the reflection some of them look like there just normal pitures but they were all taken in paint refection of the golf

then just spray a quick wax to protect it

havnt yet applied the the glaze sealant or wax so still some more shine to come.

my initial reaction to the reflection shots was: "why's the fool taken some shakey pics of a jetta or something when the car is supposed to be a golf!".

Took a few minutes to work out what was going on but in my defence I'm trying to digest a large sandwich.

You might be better off posting this sort of thing on Detailing World.

cool is that the euro polish finish on them as the ones supplied to UK had a black backing around the words RONAL and TURBO, My cousin has these on his Mk2 Gti. Very nice..

they should be chrome but a previous owner of the car sprayed them silver for some reason
