We are here today far from our home turf for a special car. Not just any Scirocco, but a R. The R specs are usually mad rides, which more ponnies under the hood, bigger brakes, bigger boost, bigger everything. We traveled middle of the night to reach here early, very early in the morning.
When we arrived, the car wash not even out from the warehouse. We had to wait.
Upon arrival at the Delivery Bay, we inspected the car for defects as we will be performing the Post Delivery Procedure. Initial looks would be clean and not stained. But as we explored further while waiting for the owner to arrive…
The back was rather dirty from rain water and dust.
We understand that most cars are delivered with the plastic film on the roof, this one had it too but when removed, glue residue still remained on the surface, dirt and dust landed onto those adhesive and became stains.
Some more obvious glue residue marks.
This would definitely be the plastic film that caused this stain. Normally the personalle in-charged of the post delivery would use solvents or thinners to remove these marks. We preferred the safe way.
Fortunately for the paint, it had no swirls, no scratch and no watermark issues, We assumed it had just reached the ports.
And the owner arrived, He lead us to a location where water and electricity is available and we started the correction and prep works.
Its pretty obvious the paint lacks protection, water did not bead, surface was not smooth.
Rain stains were all over the emblems as we cleaned through.
These areas were not neglected although we don’t always show our entire process flow. Its just too much time spent on photos instead of the car.
A better look after rinsing off and cleaning the dirt on the roof. Water seems to look rounder on a clean surface.
We dried off the car after intense 3hours of washing, double checked the surface for any swirls and scratched. Here is a sun shot.
Like they all says, sun never lies, always reveals everything.
Since these were very exclusive wheels only available on the R, we certainly did our very best to reach deep in and clean.
The barrel of the wheel was filthy and covered with brake dust although barely a week old.
And the Afters simply blew the owner away for our passion to deliver.
The wheels were then Opti-Coated and left to cure for the next few hours. Here is the effect of the After Coat.
We just love the looks of ally wheels after coated. The curves and arches just pops out.
After a full day of 8hours working on a car that is barely 50KM on the ODO, we present to you. The Scirocco R, Renewed.
Many might have forgotten about the haze that struck Malaysian this year, during that period, everyone were hiding at home, turning on their air conditioning, relaxing at home while waiting for the haze to go away. We were on the battlefield, face to face with this side and the haze. It was so bad, we had to work with a full head face mask as our eyes would get sore, breathing gets harder, but because we mentioned, we will go anywhere, anytime, any condition, and still delivery our non-compromising quality. We will do it. I present to you, Audi A6 Hybrid, in the haze.
Upon arrival, we inspected the car as usual. But this time round, it was in a very hazy condition. We found some spots with holograms.
Some light swirls also found on the sides.
More holograms on the side
The surface had no protection and the surface tensions was bad.

The engine on the other hand was covered in dust
We first cleaned the rims as deep as we could reach.
Areas like this are not neglected.
Engine had been cleaned and topped with Optimum Protectant.
Holograms had been corrected
Here is a sun shot, as it was hazy, the sun didn’t shine through well.
Holograms on the side doors were corrected as well
Other sections are double checked.
Just look at the sun, its so dull.
The interior was been cleaned and topped with Optimum Leather Protectant.
Today we have here the all new, most advertised, most wanted Mercedes Benz A250 Sport. With just 1 week old, the owner did not hesitate to call us and get her protected right away.
The initial look upon arrival, the car looked good and clean, the shine was very defined and it had no visible damages on it.
Then we moved to the front section of the car, looks good but then we noticed something up close…
Up close we saw a stone chip that was touched up with just the paint. The owner knew about it and said they he could live with that small chip.
Moving on to how filthy the car is, there was alot of sand and dust on areas near the drainage.
Exhaust tips were covered in dust..
Neglected areas like this were dirty too.
Coming to the surface, during the wash we spotted that there is very minimum protection on the paint although it is new and smooth.
The glass was inspected as well since most car dealers store their cars at open air warehouses which the cars are all exposed to environmental damages without any protection. But we are pleased to say there were no watermarks on the glass.
The wheels were covered in thick brake dust as usual for Mercedes.
Barely a week old and the wheel barrels looked like a year old.
We cleaned the brakes, wheels, every edge and also the wheel barrel.
Then we Opti-Coat the wheels to give it the mad shiny look and long terms protection from stubborn brake dust.
Check out the beadings on the wheels.
The grills were individually coated to get the coating evenly spread out between the mad chrome grill!
