Audi B8 S4 White



This detail came about when a vehicle enthusiast inquired about a new car prep for his new car. He decided to hold off on the detail until it was closer to winter time. He opted for the exquisite package. In regards to the paint condition it wasn’t that bad considering he had just taken the S4 on a very long road trip.



The paint showed no signs of protection. There were swirling presumably detail installed on the paint that I had a hard time capturing however it wasn’t hard to remove. The paint also had hard water marks and etching from bird poop. Alright lets move on to the products and pictures.

I personally found the trim to be extremely soft. I started with PF on a blue finishing pad then worked to PO85rd then had to drop it down to ultrafine on the blue finishing pad. Even that was slightly marring the trim. I had to finish up with a hand polish using ultrafina and a foam applicator pad.



The pics below are the after products of one step polishing. I apologize for not posting before as the camera had a very hard time capturing defects on the paint. Please enjoy the afters.

Thanks for looking.
 
Looks fantastic! PowerFinish works really well on these white Audis! Nice job on the whole car. I really liked how the pillars and rims came out especially.
