My Pretty

[mjlinane]

After waiting 18 weeks, my Volcano Red Metallic 2014 Audi TT Roadster arrived about a month ago.

It arrived with a very nice finish.

But I knew I could improve on that. Followed a similar routine to the Beetle (http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/detailers-showcase/43517-my-toy.html)

Rinselessed with Megs D114
Next day
Decon with Valugard A & B
GDPWM with CG CWC
Clayed with Nanoskin Autoscrub Fine + Glide
Polished with RUPES + Orange CCS + Opti HyperCompound (really hard paint)
Carpro Eraser
Opti OptiCoat 2.0
1 week later
Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
GDPWM with CG CWC
Permanon Platinum 10% (all exterior except top and tires)
Carpro PERL

Afters

The roof was still wet so no topless shots. Will add later.

Thanks for viewing. Questions welcome.

Beautiful car Mike. Did you trade the vw?

 

[mjlinane]

Thanks Al, JSFM35X, Pat, Todd, Brandt, Sleper and Dhaval.

kinda like a really deep burnt orange.

It is a striking color that really gets noticed - especially here in the Austin area. Thought it was going to be red with orange pearl but is really a candied orange. Depending on light, it is anything from red to burnt orange.

Did you trade the vw?

No, kept the Beetle and the Sonata. It was my beloved Tiburon that left the fleet.

Beetle is a DD and the TT is mostly a weekend fun car. The Sonata is my hauler & mudder. Neither of the others can carry much more than a passenger.
