I went from a Scirocco to a Jaguar F-Type R 8 weeks ago.

Hi whiteoak, you have good taste ;). It's not my daily driver and I'm in it 2-3 days a week maximum. I love everything about it and wouldn't change anything. The looks, sound, speed (not that i really get to test it to its full potential) aggressiveness...just everything makes me smitten with it.

Re: Swirl Marks

I'd have that sorted in a full day with a rotary, Flex 3401, Lake Country purple foamed wool pads, Scholl Navy pad, Scholl S3 Gold XXL and Scholl S40. Paint thickness measurements taken first. In my experience, a Scirocco has around 130 microns of paint which is decent to work with unlike some Japan...

Re: Detailing Thoughts

Buy some Lake Country thin foamed wool pads and some Scholl S3 Gold XXL along with Scholl S40 and a Scholl orange pad to refine and you will thank me later.

I imagine there will be extra kit added to the last models to tempt folk.

Re: Looking for the right Scirocco

I've got a 1.4 TSI and have the Interlagos alloys which I really like. I might get an R model around this time next year and think the Cadiz alloys really suit it. I guess it's all subjective!

I agree with RoccoTom, the alloys on the R look great IMO.

Re: Is there going to be a Scirocco replacement?

As I reported on a different thread, the Scirocco is not being continued. This will be the last year of production. Over in France, a limited edition version called "Ultimate Scirocco" will be offered later this year to give it a final farewell. It is based on the R-Line version only with ...

Re: Brand new Flash Red Scirocco

I machine polished with Scholl blue polishing pad and Scholl S20 followed by Scholl S40 on Scholl orange pad. Paint depth readings were fairly consistent - 120 to 130 microns everywhere apart from the back on the panel where the VW sign is. Readings here were around 105. https://s21.postimg.org/7u4q...
