This was done at a Audi Dealership, they was instructed not to touch the vehicle apart from usual PDI so was expecting vehicle to still have transport wraps still intacted. However it wasnt and upon first setting my eyes on it it was very noticable the paint work was dreadful with every panel suffering with RDS and scuffs. Looking at the condition you would of thought that it had done more than the 20 miles that was showing on the clock.
Wash
- pre soak with Power Max 3, rinsed and foamed again
- wheels cleaned with P21S Wheel Gel
- washed with TBM using Shampoo Plus and Lambswool washmitt
- clayed with Sonus Green which did remove some contaminants
Vehicle was then moved into there Service area to allow me to work. When client contacted me he requested a Paint Inspection Report to be carried out so all paint measurements were recorded and all defects found from visual inspection were documented.
Over 1300 paint readings were taken and recorded using the Positestor 6000 PTG and the 200 model used on the bumpers
This was then downloaded onto laptop for analysis using the PosiSoft software supplied with memory gauges. Graph below shows the readings taken from the roof
Instead of giving client one graph per panel (13) I made one graph that showed all panels. The measurements taken from the vehicle indicate that all panels feature the original factory finish..
Correction
After trying several combos I found menz 3.02 on a black waffle pad was giving me excellent results , however for some of the deeper marks/ scratches i had to step up to Megs Cutting pad and 3m Fast Cut Plus
Rear Tailgate
Front Bumper

After correcting all panels I followed up with 3M Ultrafina on a 3M blue pad.
Vehicle was then given a IPA wipedown in preparation for Zaino then I remembered Andy wanted Swissvax Divine applied so i went around and applied cleaner fluid by hand in preparation for Divine.
Interior was also detailed and leather conditioned using Swissvax Leather milk. Wheels were sealed with Zaino AIO and then topped with Zaino Clear Seal. Engine bay was given a wipe down with 303 aerospace protectant. Running boards were treated to Zaino AIO..Finally windows were sealed with Carlack glass sealant
Some finished shots after 20+ hours of work
as always thanks for looking
