Audi RS4 & Opti-Seal

[Anthony Orosco]

This is an 01 silver RS4 with a V6 Bi-Turbo, very cool car with very hard paint!! I'm so thankful I don't do too many Audi's.

It was raining when I started this detail so I have no exterior before pics but only exterior after pics.

I corrected the paint using Hi-Temps Heavy Duty compound (top hood only), Optimum Hyper and Polish and the topped it with a single coat of Opti-Seal.

In my testing I had applied OS over a paste wax and also over another sealant with no problems. I also applied a wax over OS with no ill effects.

when your detailing a car with a clear coat harder then my right biscep ( ), what do you do? spend more time on it, use a stronger pad + polish combo? because I'm doing a Merc this Friday and I've heard that they have hard clears

Your Mercedes detail may or may not have the Ceramaclear. You can check the paint code sticker and if it has a "C" before the paint name then it's a Ceramaclear.

Menzerna makes a polish designed for those paints.

What I did with the Audi is just lower my rpm's and spend more time buffing, making sure not to get the paint too hot. An orange pad with Optimum Hyper worked nicely at around 1100 rpms.

As far as time line for the OS....last I spoke with David the labels were approved and should now be printing or printing very soon so I am hoping within a week or so.

Thanks for the compliments,
Anthony
