Front License Plate

I got my new license plate straight from Germany a few days ago. In most states including WA, you only need a real back license plate. The front can be whatever.

Here's what i got. It's European style (like my car) and the D stands for Deutschland which is Germany home of Volkswagens

Finished Buffing

I've worked a couple hours daily the last week buffing and waxing the car. I've also touched up the paint in some areas that needed it.

This is the gear i used














Basically I started with Meguires 83 and the white more aggressive pad and applied it to the whole car twice. This re blended and shined the paint, but left swirl marks. To remove swirl marks i used the blue less aggressive pad and Meguires 9, which i also applied twice. After that i hosed off the car and cleaned the windows and trim.

There were a few deep scratches that i filled in with touch up paint and now you cant even see them.The only issue with the process is it stained my bumpers that i re blackened, so ill have to do that a gain. That will only take a few minutes

Here was the hood before
















...and after
