Wink ** Audi A3 - Menzerna and wolfgang deep gloss sealant

HI all,
last saturday I decided to make a small detail on the car of my wifes uncle. Its the Audi A3 that I detailed over a year ago, maybe youŽll remember.

Many swirls were made by the wrong wash technique and its a pain for me to see the paint an this car.

So after foaming with Gilmore and Elite Snow Foam, wash with lambswool and Zaino Z-7 shampoo I clayed and finally dried with guzzler and LT.

After this step I took my Makita, 3 LC orange pads and Menzerna 3.02 and it was the very right decision for this hard paint. So the paint was polished to a very good shine. One polish with the Rotex 125 and a white Lc pad with PO85RD followed.

Next step was to cleanse the paint with Dodo lime prima, I dont like the waxes too much, but the lime prime is one of the best.

For the final finish I decided to the lovely Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant. Very easy to use and brings back a carnauba like warmth shine. Topped with the new wax from Finish Kare and I was deeply impressed by the gloss.

The wax brings a little more gloss then the Wolfgang has already brought and its very easy to use. It smells not as good as my Zym*l oder Swissvax, but its ok.

But first of all I love the WDGS for its work. Such a high gloss, its unbelievable and its very easy to use. Just great!

Here are some pics. The job was only to detail the paint, so dont look at the plastics pp.. The owner wants to do that himself.


So here are a few pics.



















Thanks for reading.

LOOK great but why the cleanser step before the seal? I thought after po85 you were good to seal or wax after just a prepsol wipe down

Just for a real good job. I think the sealant will bond better on the paint with a precleanse before. Maybe some oils from the polishes were left. And it only takes a few minutes of time.
