2002 A4 Spring Detail 56k walk away

[imported_Grouse]

I detailed this car last July. The car was then washed by me in november. This is how i got it today. To be fair the owner just opened a resteraunt and works 16-18 hours aday. So, Washing the car is not high on his need to do list. the 2nd set of pics will follow shortly.





Wheels before







Wheels after wash





The rest of the car before wash.

















The car after only a wash.





















How did i spend the rest of my time.

Claying 3 hours. Much of the dirt had bonded to the paint. Claying it off was not really hard just time consuming. I then spent the better part of an hour claying the rims lips. Once that was done i did adams metal polish 1 and 2 on the rim lips. What you don`t see in the photos of the rims is alot of pitting from brake dust, that dust then bonded to the rim in little black clumps.

Yeah if i remember he is rolling on either Koni v3 or stasis street sports. all the way down.



this car is so low my toe does not fit under certain parts of the front bumper.

Sweet ride. Pics like that have made my decision for me....if I ever get an Audi, it will be silver. Too bad about the pitting on the ADRs. Oh well, if you`re going to drive it, you`re going to put some wear on it. Hope the owners restaurant takes off.

Sweet work and thats a sexy Audi. I remember my Thermal exhaust
