    S5 1 step with Adapt

    Well i figured out Adapt and used it today on this black S5 as a 1 step. Used light pressure runing dewalt as slow as i could (1000rpms) slow arm speed. It is not perfect but made big improvement. I mean heck what can the dealership expect they only pay us 4 hours for a full detail

    What was used
    dewalt 849 rotary
    meguairs yellow polishing pad
    HD Adapt
    HD Poxy




    Before

    Looks great, I love thosew wheels. Biggest issue with Audi`s for me is the amount of brake dust they generate. I would be a slave to it!

    Looks great with what seems to be a minor amount of products. I might have to try Adapt as many rave about it !
