Thumbs up ZR1, Z06, and an AUDI A5

This Audi A5 must be a very difficult vehicle to purchase—the owner had have this one transferred in from Ohio. I also have another customer who waited about 6 months to receive his!

The car had been washed quite a bit by the dealer before we saw it—the paint was murder to correct. We ended up using 105 with a heavy cutting pad on the rotary, then 105 with a polishing pad via the flex, PO106FF with the G110 speed 6/white LC LP white, and finally sealed with M21.

We also applied paint protection film to the front bumper, fenders, hood, roof, A-piilars, mirrors, door cups, rockers, splash guards, and rear bumper.

These scratches were all over the car:


Sorry, that’s really the only before I have—it’s hard to document everything hen we have a lot going on!

After:






Tried to get the line, but it disappears on this color!








Back in her hole until she is picked up!

Re: ZR1, Z06, and an AUDI A5

This ZR1 was driven from the museum straight to our shop—it needed some help.

We used a lot of #105 with the FLEX on a polishing pad as the paint was *very* soft. We finished with PO85RD on the flex with a white LC pad, then sealed with M21.

We carefully dried the paint:





Have to get through the day some how!

They tried!










Random after shots:




The CF roof was *lightly* polished with PO85rd via G110:

This gray Z06 was purchased and brought directly to us—we simply washed and applied a coat of M21

Very nice Joe!

The ZR1 looks to be in about the same pre-condition as the new black Viper ACR I did.

What LSP did you use on the ZR1? That black looks awesome. Just M21?

Re: ZR1, Z06, and an AUDI A5

I love the look of the ZR1 with the silver wheels vs. the chrome ones!

I am jealous!

Very nice job on all the cars. Those rims on the A5 are wild, but they look good.
