Longest detail yet. 2006 S4

17 or so hours went into this recently purchased S4 over 2 days.

I believe the car came from a NJ stealership.

wash
clay
SIP/EC on purple foamed wool on day one 1800rpm
SIP/EC on black wool 1800rpm
UF on a blue ccs pad 1800rpm
rewash
Extreme top coat udm black pad speed 4
AA extreme tire shine

I'll let the pictures do the talking today, if you have any questions, just ask.

Paint looks delicious. If I was the owner I would be very pleased.

Hi John - did you like your car?
Thomas

Very much-superb work just as I expected and as you promised. Will you be in Crystal City Monday or next week so I can pay you?
Thanks again Thomas and I will tell all my friends about your work.

Is NL by far your favorite Thomas? I gave FK108 a try today and I'm not quite sure which one is better yet. I do like the smell of NL better though, hehe.

I had a 5 gallon jug of it. Using it up, but definately an excellent product.

I think I like 108 better.

Another superb Job Thomas! I know that these long correction jobs can be a pain sometimes.

Hmm, well I'll definitely use the rest of the sample bottle that I have. I guess I should do a 50/50 comparison!
