Swissvax`ed: Black Audi S5 with Swissvax Shield PTFE wax

[ScheerSpeed]

This car was in need of a little TLC... The owner usually maintains the car on his own, however due to time restraints had not been able to devote time to working on his car.



We gave it a complete exterior surface cleansing, decontamination, and protection; as well as a full Engine compartment detail. No interior work was done.

Here`s how the car looked upon arrival



































Looks like small water puddles build up on the bottom of the audi symbol





















Onto the cleaning with P21s TAW and a Swissvax Detail brush to really get in the places a wash mitt doesn`t.



Around all the window seals









Behind the door handle







Around the emblems













Now let`s make this paint look new again...



We chose Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium, paired that up with the Porter Cable and a Swissvax Black Gloss pad to get the maximum gloss out of the paint, while still removing slight scratches and holograms!

Fine results on a fantastic car!



Where did you use blitz and w99 and what`s the reason for having both, as both are APCs? I was after one of them and I settled for blitz as the `safer` choice.



Finally, one proposal to repair the broken brush which has worked for me. Apply 2-3 rounds of garden hose stretch and seal repair tape. It will keep it together and (a bonus) will make the brush safer if it contacts the finish.

I changed the brush after this detail.



I like to use W99 on the exhaust and tires while washing the car. i find that it is far superior than blitz in terms of grime cleaning power. it literally melts off the exhaust residue so easily.



I use blitz on the other hand to get into all the body panel crevices, emblems, and hard to reach areas.



I also use P21s TAW for things like tar, bugs, polish residue, and to clean plastic panels.



Thanks!
