This 2012 Audi R8 came in for a Level 3 Paint Correction and 3 Year Ceramic Coating application. Below is a 50/50 video of the paint condition before and after the paint correction steps.
Before is on the left, after is on the right.
The vehicle was washed, chemically decontaminated, and then mechanically decontaminated using a clay towel. Then the first cutting step was performed using a Rupes 21 Mk1 with a 5" yellow medium wool cutting pad. The product of choice was 3D One. The paint looked great after this first cutting step, but another polishing step was needed to have it looking as nice as possible. This second step was completed using the same Rupes 21, but with a less aggressive yellow foam pad.
