This 2013 Beetle had been to 2 different "detailers" prior to making it's way out to my place. The first detailer did the damage ( buffer trails ) and the 2nd were supposed to fix the damage but could not better the situation. After I heard this I knew that I would be up against a SH!T job , but would also have to prove myself throughout the detail. Showing the client why he needs to come back to Creative Car Detailing for a top of the line experience. Upon arrival I was shocked to see the condition of the car. 2013 Year model with 19 xxx km's on the clock 
Not bad looking upon arrival :grin:
NOW
Look at THIS
Swirl Marks
Buffer Trails
As usual I started out with Interior , Engine Bay , Door Shuds and Wheels. I did not take pics of this , mainly as it wasn't as bad as the rest of the car. After Wash and Dry , Iron'X and Claying , this was the damage I had to face
Whoever worked on the car before me used a combo FAR to aggro and thus damaging paint over the WHOLE car. I knew taking this out would be a tricky task esp with me being the 3rd detailer working on the paint. After test spots I decided on Menz FG 400 coupled with Yellow Cutting pads from Cyclo ( MY most aggro combo I can offer to a customer ). After 2 passes of my selected combo , here is some 50:50 shots from the bonnet.

Checking Swirl Marks

As you can see there is swirl marks left in the vehicle but I decided NOT to remove any more clear coat than I had already removed up to this point. I then Proceeded to do the whole vehicle with 2 passes of the same combo , checking each pannel after each pass before moving on. After I had finished the whole car , I decided to use a glaze to cover up some of the damage left in the paintwork.
Before Glaze
After Glaze
50:50 Shot on the Fender. Left Unglazed , Right Glazed
I then proceeded to Glaze the whole vehicle followed by Menz PL to Protect the paint from here on forward. Here is a few reflection shots from the paintwork that I captured after finishing the car
After
Finished product before I left to deliver the vehicle back to the client
