  • 2009 Audi A5

    2009 Audi A5.

    I usually see this car once or twice a year, usually before winter.

    The paint is in pretty good shape overall as its only washed every so often, which can do a lot of good for a black vehicle.

    There was some problem areas on the hood & roof that were spot polished but other than that it was a pretty basic detail.

    Before:

    This was the only place where real dirt & debris were.




    Vacumm/dry brush/vacumm
    Pedals cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner.
    Leather was scrubbed free of dirt/oil with All Purpose Cleaner Plus.
    All vinyl & leather dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.
    Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
    Jambs cleaned with ONR.

    Afters:











    Exterior process:

    Foamed & washed with NXT Generation Car Wash.
    Clayed with ONR & Meguiars blue clay.
    Tar removed with Tarminator.
    Hood & trunk polished with D300 Correction Compound via PCXP.
    ONR wash to remove dust.
    Waxed/sealed with D301 Finishing Wax & LC 5.5" green pad via PCXP.
    Tires/fenderwells dressed with Hyper-Dressing 1:1.

    Before:





    During the wash:









    Afters:

    Great job as always Nick! This car must have been a pleasure to detail.

    How would you compare the D301's reflection/gloss compared to NXT 2.0 or Ultimate Wax?

        Looks great Nick, sharp car. Nice work!

        Out of curiosity, what type of setup do you use for your foaming?

          Fantastic work, once again, Nick.

          The A5 looks better than new.

            You clean the door jambs with ONR? Why that versus regular wash from bucket?

                    That hood looks like 40 acres begging for swirls. You got it looking great.

                          Thank you Marc.

                          I thought it was alright, I like doing trucks better.

                          I have not tried the Ultimate Wax but will probably never use NXT 2.0 again as the D301 blows it out of the water.

                          Thanks. I use a Gilmour foam gun.

                          Hooks right up to the hose, a very easy to use tool for washing.

                          They were not all that dirty plus I do not like to use a hose in the door jambs unless I really have to.
