I recently performed a paint correction on this brand new 2009 Audi TTS. Being that it was white, brand new and had less than 800 miles made it a bit tricky to find the defects in the paint. Since the car is pretty much brand new there werent too many surfaces scratches(swirls), but there were some RIDS(Random Isolated Deep Scratches) throughout the vehicle.



Decontamination Process:

Meguiars "Mild" Clay Bar with ONR as clay solution

Adams Metal Polish #2 on Exhaust Tips



Wheels:

Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax



Interior:

1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium

Meguairs APC+

Leather Masters Strong Cleaner

Leather Masters Vital

Vacuum

Invisible Glass Glass Cleaner



Engine Bay:

Meguiars APC+

Various Brushes

Zaino AIO On All Painted Surfaces



Paint Correction:

3M Automotive Performance "Green" Tape

M105/PFW via Makita Rotary

M205/Orange via Meguiars G110 DA

Zaino AIO On All Door Shuts

50/50 of 91% IPA/Distilled Water

Meguiars Supreme Shine MF Towels



LSP:

TWO coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant

TWO coats of Dodo Juice Hard Wax for White Vehicles(Owner Supplied)



On to the pictures already!



The owner had the car prepped for me before I arrived, so all I had to do was clay, polish, seal the vehicle.

The first thing I did was clay the car and then I taped off any edges and all the clearbra peices(a majority of the car).

I proceeded to wipe down the engine compartment(all that was needed on a car with less than 1k miles) and apply Zaino-AIO to any painted surfaces.

The defects were hard to capture using a camera, let alone my own eyes. So these were the best shots I could manage to capture.

The smaller areas were also corrected using a 4" PFW pad.

The taillights were also polished with M205/Orange pad.

This produced a very deep and rich reflection in the lights.

Looks really great! It looks like your not using a pad when your using the 4" PFW.

I had a company called premier garage.



they also did my cabinets. They use a hybrid epoxy which is said to last 10 years and stands up to tire heat. Something the cheap kits at Home depot and Lowes do not do



Not inexpensive by any means but I love the end result

These floors were awesome to work on, seem like they would be very durable for a long period of time, no doubt!
