Some oxidization by the looks of it. Worth the time and effort considering. Looks like you have gotten most of the oxidization out with the wool pad. A foam pad and some decent swirl remover and sealant will make this car come up a treat.

easiest way to check generally is look if you have leather seats, and chrome handles/shifter button & surround, premo sound etc. Being a S3 the Ghia comes with a fully electric and memory drivers seat also.
