Today did an exterior detail on a A4 Conv. The A4 was quite dirty and had some bird stains on the canvas :wall: The car is just 6 years old and has driven 70.000 kms. So sorted out my gear and started, the owner attended me during all the stages. So he now knows how to keep it clean :thumb:



(BTW those Audi paints are really a hard pain in the *** to correct....)

The car sufferd from severe industrial silver overspray. Nothing helped (agressive clay etc) So got out my tardis, sprayed it on. Waited for 5 minutes and wiped it of. All the hundreds of spots were away :argie:



Well, I will stop talking and let the pictures do the words :lol:



Steps:

Rooftoop with M71, then rinsed the roof with low pressure garden spritzer. (nooit hd op een cabriodak gebruiken!!)

Tires and arches with APC

Wheels with wheelbrightner in combination with EZ Brush, Swissvax wheel

Foamed with Hyperwash

Washing 2BM with Hyperwash

Dryed with Miracle Dryer

Tardis for the paint spots (rinsed the car afterwards)

Clayed with Polyclay and last touch

Rotary - 3M Compounding pad - Menz P85 3.02

DUAP - 3M Blue pad - Menz 106 FF

Tires with Megs Endurance Tire gel

Exhaust with Megs AMP Marine line

Windows with Megs NXT Glascleaner

Enginebay wipedown with APC

303 Aerospace for plastic engine trims

M72 on the Convertible roof



LSP: (owners choice)

HD Cleanse

***** Glasur

Isn`t it?



I was invited to a family exclusive holiday dinner by one of my clients. I was honored to say the least. He was so impressed he extended such a gracious offer.



Might I add, best prime rid I have ever eaten, supposedly 9 hr cook.

One of the coolest, most sincere ans genuine guys I know.



Clients are so awesome.

I just noticed, you`re Dutch!



My mother still has citizenship, and I have visited Hellendoorn and Amsterdamn - among other areas. I`m planning on going again eventually. I`ll have to let you know if it`s sometime soon, do some detailing or show me around Utrecht.



You may notice my logo`s significance... :cool:



Cheers.
