  • Audi A4 Summer Prep

    This lady is super nice. She actually washes her car by hand. But unfortunately doesn't do anything to the interior. She also has a 1 year old baby girl who likes to throw debris in the back seat.

    The car is less than a year old, so the paint was in pretty good shape. The only issue was the passenger side is always parked in direct aim of her sprinklers. So it had water spots down the entire passenger side.

    It took about 10 hours. Not too bad. I am getting faster. The wheel wells in the back did not come as clean as I would have liked. They have a weird material covering them. Not "easy to clean" plastic covers like the front. The wheels also had plastic covers that had been damaged by a tire shop, I could not fix them.

    I would have liked to get the wheels wells cleaner, and the inside, very back of the rims. I know some people remove the wheels. I don't have the equipment to do that. I am going to have to look around for a better brush of some kind.....


    Here is a breakdown of what I used:


    Wheels & Wheel Wells

    Amazing Roll Off -- tires and wheel wells
    Meguiar's Wheel Brightener -- wheels
    Meguiar's Hyper Dressing -- tires (applied and left on for shine)
    Griot's Undercarriage Spray -- wheel wells

    Wash

    Dawn Dishwashing Soap

    Engine

    Amazing Roll Off
    Dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant

    Carpets & Upholstery

    Folex -- spot treatment
    Sams Club Carpet Cleaner --Carpets
    Woolite 10:1 -- Cleaning
    Bissell

    Leather

    Clean -- Woolite 10:1
    Condition -- Leather CPR

    Interior and Door Jams

    Meguiars APC+ 4:1
    Alcohol & Water 50/50 for windows
    Also treated all of the rubber seals with 303 Protectant

    Paint

    Meguiars 205 w/Orange CCS pad -- 2 coats
    Klasse AIO w/White CCS pad -- 2 coats
    Collinite 845 w/Grey CCS pad -- 2 coats

          nice work, especially on the interior!
          There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

            She was stoked. It should take her half the time to wash it now. Plus it's protected

            The interior was really bad. I should have taken pictures of the trunk. It was completely black around the edges..... and full of hay...... don't ask
