American Muscle Corrected and Coated
Next door neighbor with the owner of an RS5 a detail I did the previous weekend out in Bend Oregon.
The car was manufactured in January, and sent to a dealer in California. This color is a special order I was told, I guess not very common. Shipped to Bend to the new owner recently. The hood and side view mirrors were painted matte black by a local body shop couple of weeks ago I believe. Paint measured in the 200 micron range all the way down 150s as you went south. I really am impressed with the build and fit of this car. Orange peel was also much less than normal, which helps creating a great finish. The engine performance was boosted with some computer work - I was told over 500 HP/Torque

This car is a weekend car and most likely never be driven in the rain, so it was pretty clean when I arrived. It received a quick wipe down, followed by Zaino clay bar. Very little contamination was removed. After a quick dry, I spent some time to make sure that the hood and side view mirrors were protected.

Unfortunately, the paint was full of RIDS

101 was really dusting so once I was done with all polishing, on day 2, I had to wash the car.

Once dry, the paint was Opti Coated, glass was polished and coated with Opti Glass pro.
AFTER SHOTS - just 3 as I had 3 hours of driving ahead of me and it was raining.

Thank you all for your nice replies.
PapaSmurf - 101 was just the initial step. There were 2 more afterwards.
