Paint Correction on a 6 Month Old Mk6

Many people feel that brand new rides do not require paintwork attention. Most new car owners wait for their paint to lose its lustre before looking for solutions or polishing services to restore its former glow.

At Detail Lab, we feel preventive measures like the application of Paint Protection Systems early on in a car’s life is a better approach.

Here we have a six month old Mk6 GTI weather-beaten by our hot and wet tropical climate. Within the short span of six months, the candy white paintwork had lost its lustre and smoothness, and accumulated grime.

We knew we had an uphill task ahead to revive the dying paintwork!

M5 in Monte Carlo Blue

One of the perks of the job is the opportunity to appreciate nice cars up close and personal, and today was no exception.

We were fortunate to have a brand spanking new BMW M5 in a gorgeous monte carlo blue come in for paint protection, and it was an absolute beauty!

Whenever possible, leveling up any crevices within
 the clear coat is a proven method to maximise reflection.
