We have with us a Peugeot 408 Turbo, the car is currently at its first quarter. The car looked shiny as usual but then again, looks can be deceiving.
Upon arrival, we did a walk around to inspect the visible condition of the car.
There were some visible paint transfer.
Some rubber scruffs
Visible tree sap stain can be seen on the paint.
There were some random isolated deep scratches.
Swirls were quite serious on the paint work when LED light is used.
Before…
After
All panels were restored to its best state.
There were visible tar spots on the fender areas. So we dissolve it.
After around 6hours of polishing and detailing the paint work. We finally applied the coating.
Finally, the car is street worthy. Check out the insane transformation for a “Looks like Glossy Car” to “Really Glossy Car” The defination of the car’s shape is enhanced tremendously.

Recon cars are very common in Malaysia. Mostly imported from Japan, these cars are shipped in, reconditioned, and sold as if new. Here we have with us an Audi A5 sportback. Being in black, we had already assumed the condition to be bad. Read on to know more.
From the looks of the car, it seem to be shine and glossy. With only 50k clocked mileage, we can only say, looks can be deceiving.
The sun was out, we just had to take some sun shots with the damages.
It is a very common view being a reconditioned unit, most car dealers will send the car for either a fresh coat of paint or a cheap polish.
In this case, we can definitely see some neglect.
Swirl levels were not high, but sufficient to affect the shine a little.
Some panels had more damage, some had less. So we now can confirm the car dealer did not do anything to the car.
It may not be as bad as its looks, but flies died from the shitty paint condition too.
As usual, we gave the car a good deep clean. All neglected areas were taken care of.
Paint was restored to the default condition.
There were no longer any visible swirls or scratches.
As for the finishing, we cleaned up all trim, edges, and removed all polishing residue.
The wheels on this ride was modified to a matte black/alloy finish. The brake dust however, is still caked up.
A closer look on the wheel and it filthy!
Wheels barrels were cleaned.
You can actually see the brake dust dissolving with the alkaline cleaner.
and finally, After all the cleaning.
Wheel barrels are proper now.
Reach for the skies! Check out the insane reflections.
And finally the coated car.
Today we have here with us a Volkswagen MK7 Golf GTI. It had been one of the many cars we have been requested to post up. As we have many many cars awaiting article posting, we chose this to be up first.
Upon arrival, we always check the cleanliness of the car. Which in this case seem to be clean and shiny.
As we moved to the frontal area of the car, we are able to see that there is a wet look on the car, most probably due to lighting or the dealership waxed the car.
As we started to inspect the car close up, we found dirt stains everywhere.
Windows were covered in dust.
Doors were covered with the standard road grime and dust.
Side skirts are collecting much dirt too.
Due to the aerodynamic’s of the car, sand, dust and dirt are collected at the back section of the car too.
We also found some minor tree sap stains on the paint.
A closer look onto the paint, it is not as clean as it looks after all.
Into the paint condition, we did a sun shot and found that the paint is still in a flawless state.
With a LED light source, we can conclude the paint’s condition.
As the paint condition is at such a good state, there is no correction required. Our focus will be on stain removals. Here is a before
And After stain removal.
The owner passed us a new set of LED taillights to be coated as well, so we prepared them as well.
The wheels prior delivery is normally covered in some sort of plastic film, this plastic film will leave adhesive residue which is normally missed out by the dealers. Here is a before.
After the residue is removed.
The wheels were covered in brake dust as usual. This is a before.
More before shots.
And After much hours spent on decontamination.
Finally, wet white gloss.
