[mr.haributo]

Here are pics of a 1-step correction I did this weekend.. I'll post text at a later date.































































It was a long weekend but worth it. The customer was pretty stoked. I'm hoping he takes better pics with a nice background.

Re: 2006 Audi S4 - STaSIS Tuned

Thanks folks! Now for the writeup summary.

The brand new owner, Stefano, wanted a 1-step correction and attention to the nappa leather seats. I found him on one of the local Audi forums. He wanted to spruce up his newest Audi upgrade. The B7 S4, black on black, 6MT, STaSIS tuned was hands down a beauty to work on. Moving the S4 in and out of my garage and listening to the V8 growl was music to my ears.

Re: 2006 Audi S4 - STaSIS Tuned

I am surprised that D151 and a DA are so effective in removing those swirls on the Audi Paint. Did you do an IPA wipe after?

Anyway, I've seen NXT 2.0, M26, and other expensive waxes used on this same model of car, and nothing comes close to a result like this! M16!!!!!

I was surprised as well but it proves it can be done. No IPA wipe down. I did wash the car after to remove polishing dust from nooks and crannies.
