    Hey All,

    This is my first full post here so I hope its a good one. This is my friend's Audi A4 that he cherishes yet never cleans so I am always on call. As you can see from the pictures college is getting the best of both of us and we haven't had too much time to clean it. I love this car with a passion and told him if at any time he is going to sell it that I want it. Was 32 degrees when we washed it which made for a fun few hours. The interior was already in top condition and all that was needed was a good vacuuming. Unfortunately a week later, being an idiot he put an old batter on the floor of the passenger side and it leaked battery acid and ate into his carpet nearly to the metal. Best I could do was Bissel it to get what I could up, he also put baking soda on it to neutralize the acid and corrosion. Then on top of that he was swiped in DC by a Jeep which I was able to remove the black paint with the Makita and Poorboys SSR2.
    I did a full correction over the summer so there wasn't anything to correct but I do predict doing some minor correction later on in the spring once finals are over and I have some time to devote a full day to it. Sorry these aren't the best pictures.
    Hope you guys enjoy!

    Exterior
    Washed with Meg's NXT Tech Wash

    I LOVE IT! It is so easy to use and brings out so much depth in any paint color, my truck is white and makes it look so milky which is hard to do on Toyota flat white.

    It actually doesn't go on that thick, for some reason it really shows the white residue yet unlike some waxes where the residue sticks to trim, this just wipes off anything without any hassle or visibility of normal white residue.

    Yeah definitely comes in handy.
