This was an Audi A4 that I recently did. The car was pretty bad with tar and grime all over. I actually got a chance to try the new Poorboys Polish With Sealant (PWS). This product is great. It goes on very easy and leaves the surface super slick. Abrasiveness is pad dependent.



Detail time: 6.5 hours



Process was:



Wash with NXT soap with 1 oz of PB Bug Squash

Clay with Meguiars Clay bar

Tar removed with PB`s Bug Squash

Tires and Wheels cleaned with Eagle One A2Z x2

Tires dressed with Megs Insane Tire Spray

Wheel wells TW 2001

Interior cleaned with Woolite and water and Megs ID

Leather dressed with Autoglym Leather Conditioner

Glass cleaned with NXT Glass and a Pakshak glass towel

Lower trim Megs NXT Trim Protectorant

Polish with PB PWS via PC

Headlights polished with Megs Plastix

Looks good! When you cleaned the rims, did you take them off or did you use a long brush to get in the wheels?

No I just used the Megs wheel spoke brush and EO A2Z.

Looking good there:2thumbs:



Why anyone would let an Audi go like that is beyond me. Hopefully they will become a regular customer so you can keep it up for them.

So how well exactly did PWS do on hard Audi clear? Or was the paint relatively swirl free? I just got a sample of it and just wondering about the cut. Also, do you have any idea what kind of durability to expect?



Definitely looks great in the after shots. :)

Pat-great job on the detail! I really like the PWS. I`ve used it on about 7 vehicles now. It leaves the paint really slick like the Poli Seal and it smells really good too! I think it is going to be a big hit.

Scott..



The PWS did a great job on the swirls on the Audi even with the hard clear. According to Steve at PB`s the abrasiveness of PWS is pad dependent. I was using it with a Sonus Green pad and it did a great job. Since this was the first time using it durability remains to be seen.



It was a extremely easy product to use. It melted into the paint and left it SUPER slick.



I see it as a winner...:usa

Pats300zx- Nice job, it really looks great!



This might be an unfair question, but I`ll ask it anyhow: was the clear *that* hard, or might it have been one of those "blue A4s with inexplicably soft clear" that I keep hearing about? Any product that does a one-step w/correction on an Audi gets my attention!

The clear on the Audi was pretty hard. With the green Sonus pad the PWS did a good job of knocking alot of them out. It wasn`t 100% perfect but it was a great improvement. PWS is a great one stepper.
