Oakes - Detailed: 2008 Audi A4 S-Line Avant - Collaboration

[OakesDetail]

Here is a full exterior detail of a 2008 Audi A4 S-Line Avant, in an awesome gunmetal metallic color with matching wheels. The pictures aren`t as extensive as usual because I was given only 1 say to complete this car, and it needed the work, so to save time we cut down on camera time. Which is where I called a good friend of mine, Jon, to come in for an assist on getting this car turned around as quickly, while being thorough, as possible. Audi clear coat is fortunately hard which makes it more resistant to scratches but difficult to polish! However, we were able to see great work with a few more passes of the PC as you will be able to tell in the pictures



Process:

Full wash - Clay - rewash

Menzerna Power Gloss - Orange pads

Menzerna Power Finish 203 - Green pads

Optimum Poli - Seal

Rewash

Carnuaba wax

After a few hours spent washing, claying and working on the wheels, I moved onto the engine

This is my buddy who hung around since the RR Evo X was in the garage, he would wave everytime I put my hand up, but wouldn`t do it for the camera :(

Here is the best example of a 50/50 that I could capture as metallic paint is difficult to capture such defects
