VW Tiguan – Single Stage Paint Correction & 1-Year Ceramic Coating on Deep Black Pearl

When it comes to paint finishes, few colours show up poor preparation quite like VW’s Deep Black Pearl. This one-year-old Volkswagen Tiguan had all the right spec, but like many new vehicles, its original delivery condition left a lot to be desired.

We first saw this Tiguan shortly after delivery, where we carried out localised correction to address areas that had already been marred — the result of poor dealership prep and aggressive washing techniques. Even more frustratingly, these defects had been sealed in by a dealer-installed ceramic coating, leaving the client with a finish that fell short of what a new vehicle should look like.

The Right Time for Correction

After discussing the condition and the options available, the client chose to allow the dealer coating to run its course before returning to have the car properly corrected and protected. That time came recently, and we were ready to bring the vehicle up to the true standard it deserved.

Single Stage Paint Correction

Our full single stage correction safely removed wash marring and surface haze, revealing the true depth of the Deep Black Pearl finish. We also successfully removed a long scratch down the nearside panels — picked up on a narrow country lane — bringing the clarity and consistency of the paintwork back to better-than-new.

1-Year Ceramic Coating Application

With the paint now properly prepared, we applied a professional-grade 1-year ceramic coating to all exterior painted surfaces. This coating offers:

  • Hydrophobic protection to reduce dirt build-up

  • Easier maintenance and safer washing

  • UV and chemical resistance

  • Enhanced gloss and visual depth

Interior Already Protected

This Tiguan had previously received a full suite of interior protections from us:

  • Leather ceramic coating for soft-touch protection

  • Fabric protectant applied to all textiles and mats

With the addition of the exterior ceramic coating and paint correction, the vehicle now meets the full BH Automotive Detailing standard — inside and out.

Looking Ahead

It’s always a pleasure to work with clients who value quality and long-term care for their vehicles. We look forward to continuing outstanding work on this Tiguan and any future additions to the driveway.

If your vehicle was delivered in less-than-perfect condition — even from new — there’s still a way to set things right.
