Amazing job on the compounding Rick! I am sure you wish I was there that day.:laugh:

That's not the same car... you guys took a ride down to Herb Chambers in Burlington and borrowed a Black A3 for a few hours....
Just kidding... that Audi was not hammered.. it was sledgehammered... jackhammered.. the Mighty Thor probably took his hammer to it! :LOLOL
Excellent writeup, excellent work.... :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Rick, your new name is Maximus Prime... you are the transformer 
. Did you have to change the owner's diaper when he saw the car?

Rick, I too believe the owner will want to keep the car now. I had doubts the car have such mirror potential, considering how beat down that thing was to begin with. It's great to see you C&Bing again.
I always liked the A3, but am always disappointed when 95% of the time it turns out to be the 2.0T with front wheel drive. Somehow that car has an inch or two more room in the back seat compared to the typical cramped rear seats in an A4.
I also noticed you are reaching for the Spray Nine more and more.
Great Save!!!:buffing:
Hey everyone,
I've been so busy this season, besides other stuff like family health issues / turmoil, planning a wedding, etc., I never got around to responding to this thread...
mini1- The owner was selling the car, so he did not reinstall the clear bra. I'm sure he will on the next car though!
Accumulator- Thanks! Ryan and I have been using Power Finish more and more to finish off on cars using the PC and an orange pad. We have a special process that has been working for us and makes life much easier than performing additional steps that are not necessary. It doesn't work on every car, but has been a huge timesaver on certain jobs.
MuttGrunt- Thanks Matt! It's definitely a cool little car.
fergnation- Thanks a lot! I got very lucky that a 4-step polishing wasn't needed, but in reality, I did spend quite a bit of time on each polishing step. In the end, it was probably about the same amount of time as a 4-step would have been.
OCDinPDX- Swirl city is right! Thanks for the kind words!
bufferbarry- Barry, I thought that the scuffs went through the paint as well, but it was only a little bit of paint transfer, which was easily removed with a little acetone. Let me know whenever you want to come to Boston.
DetailnByDustn- Thank you Dustin!
SoFreshSoClean- Thank you! It definitely needed some love!
rydawg- Thanks Ryan. I sure wish you were there to help with the compounding though!
TheMethod- Thanks! That means a lot!
whis9- Thanks! Good luck!
Hemin8r- Thanks Buddy!
porta- Thanks porta!
snowskate-Thanks Jack! Not a bad little car at all, but just not my style..
DaGonz- Yup, you caught me... It was a look alike! Thanks!!
Apollo_Auto- Thanks Jesse! Maybe I'll change my user name to Maximus Prime! LOL
