Audi A4 (B8)

[malypb]

On a cold and dreary November weekend we worked together with the owner of the Audi A4, my friend Bartek. We focused exclusively on the exterior, because the interior has been thoroughly done not a long time ago.

On Saturday morning we washed the car thoroughly and we started work on the paint. For Bartek it was the first experience with a polishing machine and I must say he did a fine job! The paint, as it often happens in an Audi, was very hard, but we managed to reach very good results. In my opinion, during the two staged correction (in some places even three staged), we have removed more than 90% of the scratches of various types – small and large, with a very good quality finish.

After correction we thoroughly protected all external elements (paint, glass, seals, tires, plastics) of the car using the best cosmetics which are available at Auto Spa.

We used the following products and tools:

Wash and decontamination:

IronX + Shiny Garage EF Wheel Cleaner (1:3) for rims
Shiny Garage Perfect Active Foam as a pre-wash (about 200ml to 700ml of water in foam lance with Karcher)
Shiny Garage Red Devil HD Nano for nooks and crannies and as a second pre-wash (1:2)
4nano Ultra Violet (shampoo, 90ml to 15l of water)
CarPro IronX (distributed with a sponge throughout the car)
Prickbort MAC124 tar&glue remover (distributed with a sponge throughout the car)
CarPro PolyShave Decon Block
Dodo Juice Born Slippy Concentrate (1:5 as a glide for the "clay")
4nano Glass Shine (1:90) for windows
Karcher K5.700
Blaster SideKick (for drying)

Paint correction:

Rupes Zephir
Meguiar's #101
Meguiar's D300

Sonax Profiline Perfect Finish
PolishAngel Escalate Lotoin
Chemical Guys HexLogic white, black pads

What type of work lights are you using? They look like giant LED panels.

[malypb]

Metahalogen, HQI, 150W, 4200K. The upper light also but I do not know what power. After disconnection I have to wait a few minutes to lit again.
