Winter Detail: 2009 Audi A3 2.0T S-line (gunmetal)

[m4gician]

Hey guys,

Nice to see you all again. Like many Canadian detailers, I was hibernating for the winter. However, I put together a winter detailing strategy that revoles around: 1) ONR and 2) Portable heaters.

Anyways, I got the chance again to detail a phenomenal new car, a car that now that I'm a working new grad, want to be able to buy soon, a 2009 Audi A3 2.0T with the S-line package in a wonderful Grey Pearl colour. This car came to me with winter stains, salt stains, and very minor swiriling. The owner himself being a very nice guy, wanted this car to look nice with some correction.

So I did it, in record time too, I tried to avoid using water because of the possibility of it freezing or anything like that.

LC white, 4 of them haha. Probably overkill, but I wanted to rinse out the pink colour quickly.

Nah I don't live that far north. I live in Woodbridge, a suburb minutes north of Toronto. Barrie would have a lot more snow....a lot less homes too haha.


just give a professional review of it, lol.

Haha, it's because of reviews by my colleagues (you guys!) that i started using it. It leaves such a silky smooth finish and is GREAT for minor correction on new or like new vehicles.
