Hi all,
I visited the owner and one of my best friends on Sat afternoon for a detail session. I was waiting for this opportunity to break in my brand new PC, but since my car was in an accident with half the panels damaged, I couldn't do mine.
Subject: Black/Black Audi A4 1.8T Quattro
Finish: Clear coated, very hard, recently clayed
Symptoms: Heavy spider-webbing, deep scratches in some places
Prognosis: #83 with a W-8006 on setting 4.5 followed by NXT
We washed throughly with NXT car wash and two microfibers and I discovered that the surface was very squeaky and devoid of wax. We are 2 miles from Burbank Airport (flight pattern not overhead), its parked outside near but not under olive trees, and the California sun has become brutal to kick off summer as of last week. No surprise!
We took the car into the garage for a quick dry using a thick 2ft by 3ft waffle microfiber. Then, it was out into the sun for a spot check of each panel to see what we were up against. We took the before pics around 11:45am. The temperature was climbing and it was near 90 degrees.
Out comes the PC! Finally, what I've been waiting for.
I've been shown how to use it on the Meguiar's Detail Day and I ordered a bunch of goodies with it. The #83 is the strongest abrasive in my aresenal, so I used it on a small 1ft by 2ft section on a setting of 2.5. Out into the sun and its doing a decent job of removing the scratches. So, into the garage for a #83 all over with a little more aggressive setting of 4.5.
After #83, we applied a coat of NXT by PC and removed by hand. The results are below and I think they speak for themselves. I can't wait to do it again!
