I know I said we where doing a Daytona Violet e36 M3 this Sunday, but plans changed somewhat and we ended up doing and Audi A4 2.0T Quattro apparently 1 of only 3 in SA?
This car looked pretty good when we first started with it, but as we cleaned we started to see the swirls and RDS's, and boy where there loads of them ALL over.
This car is only 4 months old and the owner says that it was delivered with the swirls and a very nice scratch on the boot, some of the regulars here know who did the pre delivery detail on this car.......
Some pre wash pics:
Again I washed while Megesh tackled the wheels.... and yes, we had a photographer
dirty rinse bucket again
After the wash, we got straight to drying with the Adams Waffle Weave Drying Towels
As you can see from this pic..... its easy to take photo's of a car with loads of swirls and make it look good, I suppose the swirl removal ability of the Shield orbital is at question here
Now for some swirls.....
After Claying and taping it was time to start the task of correcting those swirls, a much easier job with the help of the Flex
I thought I would tape off a section of the bootlid and do a 50/50
result after 1 go with a light cutting pad and Menzerna SIP
Megesh then took over with the Flex, and I hit all the small areas like:
Mirrors
before:
Working
Putting in some serious concentration
and then the after pics
The B pillar was also very badly swirled, only took after pics though
Number plates de-swirled
and bumpers
Just so you know who we are
1 pic taken before LSP
And finally, we topped off with Chemical Guys - Extreme Top Coat Paint Sealant with Carnuaba
Just excuse the drop of water that ran down the bumper in the pic
