    So I got this car on friday, same day as I had the renault. The car needed to be finished before saturday at 8 AM. I had to deliver it at the airport 10 AM for the customer. The car was one of the old audis from the driving school. The paint was BAD. The worst paint I have worked on ever. I had to bump up to Lake country yellow css pad and Menzerna powergloss. That says everything.

    Enjoy. It was a hard day. I finished around 2 AM.

    Wash:

    CG total interior cleaner
    Two buckets with CG CWG
    LC mitt
    Swissvax wheel brush
    EZ brush
    ARO
    DP engine degreaser
    Dehydrator for drying

    Paint:

    Riccardo clay
    Menzerna Powergloss w/ LC yellow pad
    Menzerna 106FF w/White sonus pad
    Menzerna 85RD w/blue sonus pad
    Swissvax cleaner fluid
    Swissvax best of show

    Interior:
    Vaccumed
    Extractor
    Optimum protecant
    DP krystal vision glass cleaner
    CG stain extractor
    CG leather scent

    Extras:

    CG VRP
    Brinkerman
    ++

    It's nice to put the pics with the IMs from yesterday! That is some top work Ketil, very impressive. And you're right, when you need to get out Powergloss with the yellow pads on a rotary, that's when business is being done!!!

    Excellent afters, doesn't even look like the same car!!!
