Single-stage paint polishing – Volkswagen Passat CC 2016

A Volkswagen Passat CC 2016 arrived at our service center with paintwork that had gradually lost its original gloss and color depth over time. Fine scratches from everyday use, marks from automatic car washes, and light oxidation were visible on the bodywork. The owner wanted to visually refresh the car without an aggressive intervention into the paint, so we chose single-stage polishing as the ideal solution.
