200,000 Mile Audi A4.....

[imported_Luster1]

First off..... I really want to apologize for not having "before" pictures. The guy brought the car to me and it was a LOT worse than he had told me (aren't they always!!!)....



Anyway, by the time I reallized I hadn't taken any pics prior to starting, it was 6 hours later!!! Sorry........



This Audi was pretty trashed. The guy lives on a gravel road and the car hadn't been washed in 5 years. Nuff said about that...



If you look closely in some of the cracks, you can still see a little gravel dust and crud (haha)... but he limited me to 10 hours!!!! LOL :laugh:



1. Washed with "Cherry Suds" car wash

2. Pressure washed the wheel wells and wheels (knocked most of the built up gravel dirt off)

3. Clayed exterior with Meg's D-clay

4. Polished with PB SSR 2.5, Orange LC, PC7424

5. Polished with ZPC, White Pad, PC7424

6. Applied Z5P, White Pad, PC7424

8. Cleaned, vacuumed, interior

9. Cleaned stains on carpet, seats, console with Purple Power 50/50 water, upholstery brush, white cotton towel, water rinse, air dry.

10. Inside glass with Sprayway Glass Cleaner

11. Dressed interior trim with Z26 (Z10/Z16 mixed)

12. Dressed wheelwells with Tire Foam

13. Applied Z5P to wheels

14. Dressed tires and exterior with PB B&B

15. Saturated the engine bay with Purple Power/water 50/50 mix

16. Scrubbed with toilet brush

17. Rinsed with a gentle stream of water

18. Soaked engine bay with a whole can of Tire foam

19. Wiped excess Tire foam from engine...

20... I think I'm done.

I wouldn't be too critical. I think you did a great especially with the time limit. The customer was looking to increase the car's value for a quick sale and looks like it worked well for him.

Luster- I love high-mile details, especially Audis Yeah, that turned out nice, especially for the time involved.



Interesting that the SSR2.5 was aggressive enough.

Surprizingly the paint was in pretty good shape. No major scratches, but some nicks and swirls... I guess the dirt was preserving the paint!!!! :nana::xyxthumbs
