  • Audi S4

    A good friend of mine has just treated himself to a nice red Audi S4, so of course whose the first person your going to call?

    Thats right the insurance company and ask where they wanted to go on holiday:lol:


    So after we'd arranged a day for the make over it was just a case of hoping the weather would hold out.

    Which apart from the thick fog until lunchtime, it did.


    So not as cold as yesterday (thank goodness)

    So set about with a quick Optimum No-rinse wash (great stuff this) and as he had been claying it over the past week, skipped that step.

    A nice fella called Mr S let me borrow his Metabo again (such a nice bloke that Neil:thumb: ) and i was going to either use the Menz i had or the Blackfire SRC twins, but as i wanted to use up as much of the bits i no longer use settled on Meguiars #80 Speed glaze:doublesho .

    And really glad i did, one pass and most swirls were gone, leaving a nice glossy finish.

    While i did one side Mark set about on the PC with the Blackfire SRC Finishing polish, again great results, although the #80 had the slight edge as it was a little glossier.

    Then the whole car was treated to Meguairs #7 Show car glaze, then topped with Meguiars #16 wax and WOW

    What a finish it was, these to products never looked this good the last time i used them(on the Astra)

    Onto the photos:

    No more swirls, just loads of tiny stone chips

            No, just lighting and my camera (or lack of) skills, like these photos, the half of the swirls were under the clear, but from the right angle (2nd photo) it looked swirl free, but just above the mf in the 3rd photo you can see they're there (which is after a pass of Megs #80, Blackfire SRC finishing polish, Menz PG then IP:

              Only 5 or 6 years ago insurance premiums seemed very affordable with fantastic coverage to match. Well, if you're an individual or family who pays for insurance today chances are you're literally getting punched in the pocket book, and it hurts, seeing at www.oneshopinsurance.com insurance companies comprehensive plans are outrageous .
