Audi A3 Detail

[tdekany]

My 3rd time on this car, last time was about a year ago (I am guessing) maybe less.

I had the car for 1 day to get it back to the same shape the owner remembered it from the last detail, so I didn't take pictures of EVERY step this time. Plus it was raining on and off.

Thanks Marc - I recommended you on a BMW forum as well, just now. Hope they will call you.

I love the A3. Such a great looking car, jack of all trades too. I'd love to own one some day. Did you top it with HD Poxy?

[Danube]

Well done!

[tdekany]

Thanks both of you. Needed long term protection and have been using FK1 #1000 (he was very happy with it the last time)

[shoeless89]

Great work! I love that 'dope' sticker on his window lol
