Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 white Audi
Greetings everyone.
Attached are some pics of a detail I did on my 2019 Audi A4.
Overall, I think that the paint was in pretty good condition. Have been doing two bucket washes and for the most part the paint has had some type of wax or sealant on it. Most recently, I have used the black fire SiO2 spray sealant.
There were water spots as the car is not garaged at home and there are plenty of trees etc. around as well. Not a lot of swirls or super deep scratches which I would not try to remove anyway.Not necessarily well illustrated in the follow up pics what the water spots were gone!
I started with a standard two bucket wash (megs hyper wash and Dawn dish soap). I followed that with iron x and then use a clay mitt.
In terms of tools, I used the griots G9 (5.5 inch pads) with black finishing pads on speed 4 to 5. Five or so section passes per area. For the smaller areas, I use a microfiber cloth. I think that most of the taping was unnecessary as I actually applied some of the product to the trim with good results.
The surface feels noticeably more slick. As this was my first detail/paint correction, I do not really have anything to compare it to however from reading on this forum it does seem that the wipe off was a bit tacky or sticky (compared to say blackfire one step). Using more product as opposed to less on the pad seemed to help with this as well.
I will follow with updates regarding longevity. I think this will be a good “real world” test; actually It will be subjected to some fairly harsh conditions in my opinion as stated before because I have a lot of trees and pollen around the house.
In terms of maintenance, I will use the mags hyper wash and follow with the black fire spray sealant or use some of the new Wolfgang rinseless wash which I picked up at a recent sale.

Looks good! I love how it smells, I’m three days in and it beads nicely and adds a decent depth of shine. I plan to touch it up with BF si02 spray.

I saw a YouTube video from Chicago auto pro where the z-1 was completely flat on first wash. Has anyone else had this occur.

Overall, application wasn’t a bad experience.
Full disclosure also, if not clear from above, this is my first paint correction!
From doing reading on this site, it seems that wipe off is easier with other products such as blackfire one step. I actually do have a bottle of that which I plan to use on the wife’s car which also has more severe swirls etc.
When I used slightly more product, it was easier to wipe off.
It actually rained last night and this morning, there was OK beading. Honestly, not as “nice” as I have seen from some of the liquid sealants I have used but definitely not bad looking if that makes sense. To play devils advocate... what does beading really matter anyway as I took the car for a drive and all of the water slid off super smooth and the car looks very clean!
