2010 Audi A4 Sline New Car Prep and 3M PPF Install

Here is a 2010 Audi A4 Sline, the customer requested the dealer not to prep the car. The dealer only took off the white film and packaging from Audi. We had a great surface to work with all that was required was to degrease some of the spots from the normal driving, a good claying, 1 step polish with Menzerna PO85RD and finally Collinite Insulator Wax with Swissvax Divine to top it.

As well as a new car prep the customer requested that we install a 3M PPF (custom cut) on his bumper, partial hood and fender, and mirrors.

Enjoy.

Customer and friend inspected film with Dan

 

Looks awesome Phil!

 

i second that!

 

First off didnt know you could machine apply the Colli, must do that when I get around to my winter prep.

Second the Audi looks awesome and the film install looks dead on!

 

Very nice work guys!!!! :applause:

Sexy car!

 

thanks guys.

Dave though I told you that the other day....

 

Another great job by the DD crew, great car as well! :worship2:

 

the red one look potent ..insulator wax u can go wrong ...great job:applause2:

 

Nice!!!
Looks very sexy with the car!

 

Oh yeah, one questions, how is 845 under Divine compared to just Divine by itself on the bare paint, does it take away from the looks of the wax or is it a negligible change if any?

 

audi red is soooo sharp.

nice job DD

 

Very nice work boys!

 

Car looks great! One question: how long does it take you to clean each wheel? I always notice how clean the wheels are when you detail.

 

Looks great, Phil!!!! Glad to see you using teh 845. After talking with Envvious E about his use of Collinite, I've placed an order and waiting for its arrival!!!

Glad to hear of a request not to prep the car from the dealer :applause2: Folks here in TX just don't get it..... yet! Great job :applause2:

 

I've never seen Collinite 845 take away from the looks at all, from any paint I've used it on. Just my experience (almost 1 whole bottle).

 

Awesome work, Phil! Question, how long does that film lasts on a car? I understand that it depends on annual milage, just wanted to know the expectations...

 

Fantastic work Phil....

 

nice job, the PPF looks good, I know first hand how hard that stuff is to put on perfectly. great job.
