Well i figured out Adapt and used it today on this black S5 as a 1 step. Used light pressure runing dewalt as slow as i could (1000rpms) slow arm speed. It is not perfect but made big improvement. I mean heck what can the dealership expect they only pay us 4 hours for a full detail

What was used
dewalt 849 rotary
meguairs yellow polishing pad
HD Adapt
HD Poxy

Yes it is hard. But still didnt use a very aggressive pad with the Adapt and it took alot out. Thanks for compliments
 
Very nice. I just tried adapt for the first time today and was very impressed. Can't wait to use it more. Very impressed with the cut and finish
 
Looks great, I love thosew wheels. Biggest issue with Audi's for me is the amount of brake dust they generate. I would be a slave to it!
 
Nice job, love the black, I'm thinking of going with ceramic pads to remedy the brake dust problem on my Audi
 
Nice. How are you certain that you finished hologram-free?

I am not certain it is hologram free 100%. But it is shinier and less swirls as well as slick. Checked it under the shops fluorescent lights then outside in the little sun we had. And where we park details after we are done there are some LED's there. Remember this is at a dealership where they believe a full detail done by 1 person only take 4 hours.
 
Great work! HD Adapt & Cut both rock on hard Audi paint. We actually detail quite a few and use either Cut or Adapt with MF pads and it corrects and finishes extremely well. Especially on dealer cars.
