Hey everyone,
This car belongs to a buddy at work. He just wanted the outside cleaned up in order to get it ready for sale. When I looked at the car, I anticipated having to polish on top of the swirls as I have heard that Audi clear is hard. I did not think the PC would cut too much.
As it turns out, maybe because it is an older car, it was much easier to do some minor corrections than I thought.
My mentor (gmblack3a - Bryan) stopped by and helped me out with some tips and polished the right hand section of the trunk lid.
The owner (Erik) helped out a lot. He helped in all phases of the detail and it made the job go by quicker. Erik helped with the wheel cleaning, cleaned all the jambs and the engine compartment. He polished some hard to get to areas by hand and helped buff off the EX. It was nice to spend the day chatting about odds-n-ends.
If you know anyone interested in this car, pass along the owners email address: Erik.Jessen@flyasa.com
Exterior Only Process -
First we washed the wheels using 777 cut 1:1 and several different brushes.
Car got a Dawn wash with a light sheep skin mit.
We clayed the car with Zaino clay (which started to fall apart :nixweiss ) and Clay Magic.
Re-wash with Dawn.
SSR 2.5 on an Orange Propel pad with PC at 6.
EX on a Blue Propel pad spread with the PC.
Top with Z6 Gloss Enhancer.
Tires got Megs Indurance. (I'm liking this better so farthan the Black Magic I have used)
Dressed the wheel wells with No Touch.
Exterior plastic trim on the lower side of the car got Mothers Back to Black.
Click for the larger pics.
Love these wheels.
Light Swirling, low reflection. The marring was moderate with what I think were wash induced scratches.
Here is the right-hand side section of the truck that Bryan did.
The scratchs / swirls came out with one pass of the SSR 2.5.
Here is what the left-hand side of the truck lid looked like prior to polishing.
