  • Audi A4... gotta love those black Audis

    Process:

    Wash/dry: Meg's Gold Class, wheels got P21S/h2o
    Clayed only hood and fenders since I clayed the car last fall and didn't need it again)
    Black magic on all exterior trim
    Polish:
    Meg's #4 yellow pad (some areas that were really bad)
    Meg's #83 yellow pad
    Meg's #80 orange pad
    Meg's #82 white pad
    Natty's Blue Paste Wax on top

    Interior:
    Lexol cleaner
    Lexol conditioner
    Armor all (yes Armor-all) on the dash and door panels (I hate it like many others on the softer vinyl/leather but for harder/rougher vinyl surfaces like many BMWs and audi's have, I think it gives it a nice look)
    Stoner's on the glass
    Vacuumed everything

    Took about 7.5 hours


    Before pics:
















    Oh and if anyone's wondering, I didn't tape off all the trim because I want to see how easy it is to take the polish off the trim since it has the Black magic on it... not taping the trim would save a lot of time so I want to try it out... Mother's back to black worked well this way before

    The car turned out great... not perfect but I wasn't going for that... All the swirls cleaned up well and the car was black again...

    After shots: (first time this springs I finished a car during the day, so took many pics)

              Did you use a rotary or a PC to do this detail?

                That looks great!


                Just to double check... you used our M04 Heavy Cut Cleaner with a yellow polishing pad on the Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher to remove heavy swirls and scratches?

                  I used M4 with a yellow LC pad on some panels, which had deeper swirls... the owner took the car to a local car wash so... yea haha bad
