It was a vinyl pinstripe. I used a heat gun and a combonation of goo gones sticker lifter tool and the plastic razor blades found on autogeeks great selection of detailing supplies!
Been awhile since I have done one of these threads. Owner and friend called the other day and asked what I could do with the paint of his newly acquired Scirocco. He wanted the paint polished and the fantastic :rolleyes: red pin striping removed. Unfortunanly time did not allow me to take a lot...
The first post is not very clear and it seems as if people are posting show and shines. Can we post a show and shine if it was posted and the detail completed this month?
Wow, thanks for all the great replies everyone. Having a car leave like this at the end of the day is what makes all the hard work worth it. I'm glad everyone else enjoys it as much as I did.
The next night after work it was time for the little things. After rewashing to remove dust and drying I was left with a very nice surface to start sealing and then waxing.
The car was sealed with Black fire wet diamond paint sealant. And let cure over night. In the morning I applied...

Since I didnt have my camera the entire detail I appoligize for the lack shots of other panels and of the full car. I however did have the camera the night I finished and below will show some shots of the correction using different lighting and before LSP

As you guys can tell, I do quite a lot of VW's. Here is another one that a local forum member contacted me about. He wanted Exterior correction done on the vehicle before he sold it. This car was finished about a month ago. Hope you enjoy.

While doing my test section I started with the least aggressive method. I tried using M205 w/ white LC pad and it wasnt cutting through the swirls. I then stepped up to m205 on orange and it still wasnt giving me the correction that I wanted. Finally I stepped up to M105 on an orange pad and...
