dsms detail - Audi S6

2008 Audi S6, light correction work detail

Wheels cleaned with GI wheel gel 2:1. Tires cleaned with ARO, no tarminator needed this time. Wells treated with APC 4:1. The wheel inners would not come clean 100% unfortunately.

Washed using CG maxi suds. First all trim and badges were agitated with APC 10:1 and lower panels were soaked with APC before washing

Clayed with GI fine green clay and ONR for lube. The car had a few scratches that needed compounding (just like the 997 did)

Spot compounded w/ GI extreme cut + DD orange pad
Corrected w/ GI one step machine gloss + GI blue finishing pad

the garage was too dark and the paint was too light for any decent 50/50's

Exhaust polished w/ Noxon+ #0000 steel wool

before

After

Again some old wax reside in all the jambs

Leather cleaned with satin leather cleaner, conditioned with satin leather polish

Interior plastics were cleaned with P & S express interior cleaner, carpets cleaned using Folex, pedals w/ P & S too

V1 not hardwired again :shakehead:

Lsp:

GI gloss finish
GI concourso gloss

Applying concourso by hand, apparently deathly serious about it :shrug:

Little light inside for garage shots. Glass and wheels sealed with Rejex.

Outside after an FK425 wipedown

Tires, GI signature tire gloss
Glass, SC clearly better glass cleaner
Trim, GI TRV

Short video walk around...

Nice work. Your pictures look great. What kind of camera are you using? Also, is that the Flex XC3401 VRG with the Edge Adapter and a 4" pad? If so, how is the adapter working out for you?

Another great job my brother! Keep em coming!

Very nice Dave! I know what you mean about trying to capture the damage on that color... I've almost given up on most cars I do that aren't black or red... fighting for proper light just gets irritating!

Nikon D60 w/ kit lens, no picture enhancing or photoshop! The machine im using in the picture is actually the felx 3403 (rotary) which has changeable backing plates.
