2013 Audi A4, 2-step correction and CQuartz Finest protection My client picked up this brand new brilliant black A4 just a day prior to his appointment, so no pre-inspection was possible. Being brand new the car was originally scheduled for a 1-step correction, but after seeing it in person it was clear that it would need more. Most of the wash induced marring was removable with a 1-step correction, but there were so many remaining deeper scratches all over the finish that I had to go over the whole car with a more aggressive step first...and I still had to spot hit a few RIDS after that. Overall I got about 98% correction with just a few faint RIDS remaining. Did I mention how much I love Audi brilliant black paint? Process: Wash - ONR, MF towels for wash media, boars hair brush for cracks, crevices, emblems with OPC Wheels - Sonax Full Effect, various brushes and wash mitt Tires - OPC, Tuf Shine tire brush, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing 4:1 Decon - IronX, Speedy Prep Towel with Glide for lube Paint correction - M205/Megs MF Finishing discs for cutting (some prototype pads and compound for a few areas), finishing was done with Sonax PF with Rupes yellow pads. All correction was done with the Rupes LHR21 and G110v2 Coating Prep - Eraser wipe-down 2x with Great White MF towels (6 towels) Coating - CQuartz Finest on paint and lights, FlyBy30 on glass, CQuartz Fabric and Leather Protectant and carpet and matts, Opti-Coat Pro on wheels (face and barrels) Before pics 50/50 Wheels cleaned and coated IR lamp curing the Finest coating as I worked on the wheels and other detailed items Finished pics Walk around before & After video (watch in HD) 2013 A4 in for a 2-step paint correction and CQuartz Finest protection - YouTube As always, thank you for taking the time to view my work!

Thanks guys! CQuarts Finest is very easy!...especially after the recent update. You apply it to the whole car at once in the "checker board" application method, wait 45-60 minutes and level it off. 2 coats are required though so it does take a little longer than some other coatings. I charge $50 more than Opti-Coat Pro because of this.
Looks great Chad! Good mix of defects to start with...looked like a little bit of everything in the video (HD is sweet). Nice job! Ramps look good painted too.
sweet work Chad! nice pic with the 2 brinkman's like they're guns or something...haha...talk about being a poser. : my bad, i didn't look at your recent join date. ONR is a rinseless wash...stands for Optimum No Rinse. that product can also be diluted to be used for 2 purposes: 1 - diluted to use as a rinseless wash 2 - diluted to use as a clay lube
