The S5 is absolutely gorgeous, looks even better in person. The interior is top notch, well laid out and the leather is very high quality.
Thomas-thanks!
dickwitham-funny thing about that Accord, it belongs to the S5's owner and it was the car he had when he and I knew each other on the Honda boards. Not sure why it is at his sister's house though.
Josh-believe me, I get my fair share of black cars! About to head out and take care of two of them this afternoon and have another one in the morning.
dsms-I agree. While the interior is really nice, the paint isn't all that good (repainted after the stretch), the section they put in creates a huge blind spot and the overall driving experience isn't very good. How do I know? Because there isn't any room at his office so I had to do the detail at one of his employee's house. I had to go pick it up at their office, put my stuff in the Escalade and drive it to the house to detail.

Haha I thought I was the only one who thought that.
Never the less, great job Scott. You didn't go back to using KB for the Porsche?

Scott is a machine! Knockout with the glossy red and I too thought there was a dent in the A5. Rain must be killing your work up there

Honestly, I like using the rotary more for correction. Light holograms are easier to remove with #205 and Ultrafina with a rotary, than the haze from the KB method with a PC.
Pat-he recently picked up a white Countach, no plans so far to paint it red.
He has a black Chevy truck, his wife's X5 is sapphire black and his Supra turbo is silver.

Barry-that red isn't the original 37-year-old paint, it is clear-coated.
