Detailed: 1997 Audi A4 black! Killer

This is the ending thread of this one: I have the work cut out for me! (Audi A4)

But I start a new one, its more clean Okey, I got this car late last night, and startet on it 08.00 am today! Its the worst car I have done! The mercedes c-class was like new, this is just bad! I had to bring out the yellow ccs pad and menzerna powergloss! That tells everthing. And the car had been repainted some time, and it was poor done! I had to be careful with the paint! Hate that car

Buuuut, the end of this farytail is that the car looks great again! I am delivering the car tomorrow! Ohh, and my back hurts, whiner

Did the interior last time, so no pics of that!

Wash:

Degreaser on the lower panels
To buckets metode, with optimum car shampoo
Wheels washed with poorboys spray and rinse (Works great)
Amazing roll off in the wheel weels!! (Alsow works great) Clean as new
Dp tier gloss on the tires.

Paint:

Menzerna powergloss with yellow pad with the metabo
Menzerna micro polish with white pad on the metabo

Topped with WGDGS
303 on trim


Before (It hurts to see it )















See a difference?

Wow! Pirex!! Awesome turnaround on that Audi! Love the half/half shot! Could really see a difference! You made that grey car, black and glossy!
Was that half/half pic after Menz PowerGloss and Yellow pad?

Very nice pirex, you know I've been reading about the Audi's clear coat and they have a hard clear coat and I can see why you stepped up the pad. Looks really good bro...a wool pad would have come in handy huh.. oh yea I'll get back to you on the PM you sent me too.

Great job bro, car looks good....oh you know some of those scratches looked like wet sanding would have made the job easy for your too...they just look some what deep, not through the paint deep just on clear coat deep. How and what did you do to inspect the scratches? Just wondering.

sparkie: Thanks sparkie! It was pretty bad yes! Maybe the owner have drive it in the forest? I used lake country ccs pad

Nica: Thanks buddy! The clear coat is pretty hard, so a yellow was the way to go, but a wool pad has been better Oh, can`t wait

Wet sanding would been great on this car! I used my nails to inspect the scrathes I don`t have a paing gauge..

Thanks again
