Re: Audi A3 2.0T - silver

Nice work on the Audi. I like the appearance of the optiseal. What technique do you use to steam an engine?

Re: Audi A3 2.0T - silver

Looks great as always Thomas!

My SIP is getting delivered today and hopefully my CCS pads and foamed wool pad come in today as well! Then I can actually try and tackle my acid rain etching.

Have you seen the silver NGP A3 around here? License plate is "NGP 1" He goes to the Monday meets in Kingstowne and sometimes the Wednesday night meets in Tysons. It is slammed.

Re: Audi A3 2.0T - silver

Thanks everyone!

backwoods_lex - if very filthy, I spray the engine first with Purple power (what I have right now) wait 5 minutes and steam it at max pressure. Repeat if neccesary.

John - Good luck with the new order. I have never seen that car.
