I had machined this car once in early 2010 during CNY then and the owner followed the recommendations given. The fortnightly hand waxing regime really made a difference to this Golf's paint work. This is the exact conditions took during 2011 CNY period when i machined his ride again. Defects noted on the car were only superficial swirl marks.
Visomax Prometheus products were my weapon of choice for this detail, the Golf was given the PS treatment in Golden Wax ways. ;)
Good job there by the owner, never expected the ride to turn out this way after more than 360 days. Thumbs up for his effort in doing his part of maintenance.
