Discern Auto Salon: Detailed 2000 Audi A6 2.7t quattro

[rasch_C]

Client has had the car for about a month. I had not seen it and was called to do the exterior based on his description over the phone.

Condition: most was fairly decent, but the bad areas were BAD! Roof heavily etched and scratched, bad paint job showing thick orange peel on lowers, and a hood that was previously hacked to an inch of it's life -only reading ~66 microns on average w/ the ptg!

Process:


Pre-treat front and lowers w/ Bug-B-Gone -UPS train was late bringing AG goodness, so no Tarminator
Wheelbright rims.
Wash w/ Meg's Gold Class shampoo.
Dry w/ Cobra waffle-weaves.
Clay w/ Meg's blue.
Tape.
Wetsand most of roof: 1200 - 2000 - 3000
Spot-sand etchings overall: 2000 - 3000
Rotary w/ 5.5" HydroTech Cyan pad & Menz SIP (except for dangerously thin hood!)
PC w/ 5.5" HydroTech Tangerine pad & Menz 106fa
Sealed w/ Menz Powerlock (wanted to try Natty's blue, but that darned UPS truck -lol)
Plastic and tires dressed with Hyper Dressing 2:1.

All I could mange with the hood. There just wasn't any paint there and he realizes that eventually he needs to re-spray it.
