Audi A5 - Swissvax - Shocking Paint !

I was contacted via another forum to detail this Audi A5.
Having done a few A5's I thought I knew what to expect with the paint work and the "norm" condition.
But I was very suprised when I turned up, Ill let the pics do the talking:

The car on my arrival:







I started to the car by cleaning the alloys, then snowfoaming the car rinsing and washing again rinsing, then detarring (no pics of the previous stages) and use of Iron Cut




I dried the car with the car dryer then the remaining with a Dodo Juice Supernatural Towel at this stages I then saw the condition of the paint work, I was shocked as the owner recently
got this from an Audi dealership !














I took some paint depth readings:


same area


other interesting readings:



So I decided to start on the boot lid and attempted to correct with Swissvax cleaner Fluid Pro and a Hex logic polishing pad.
This removed the light swirls but not the deeper scratches




Decided to opted for 3M FCP/Ultrafina on a Hex Logic Cutting Pad, Then refined with SV CFP on a Hex Logic Polising Pad, further
refined with Menz Final Finish on a Hex Logic Refining Pad via DA resulting in this:






from this

to this


Finally Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied via DA on a refining pad then 2 coats of Swissvax Crystal Rock,
the windows cleaned with Swissvax Crystal, the Alloys treated with Zaino Z2 then Swissvax Autobahn and Pneu on the tyres,
the Exhaust treated with Swissvax Metal Polish and plastic trim to Swissvax Nano express.

The Interior was initially dry hoovered and then shampoo hoovered, the dash/trim treated with swissvax Quick Interior Finish
and the leather to Swissvax Leather cleaner & conditioner, the seals to Seal Feed. and Engine Bay to CG Silk Sine trim dressing.

The end results:

The owner was over the moon with the results

Good job man.:applause:

 

wow . . . . another fine job. I never knew you could use swisvax cleaner fluid to remove swirls. I learned something new today.

Excellent turn around.

 

As long as its not Cleaner Fluid regular as the others have abbrasive qualities to it, I dont use Medium or Strong but use Cleaner Fluid Pro specifically for use with a Rotary.

 

You and Jay use this cleaner fluid pro... can you explain a little more about this stuff?

 

wow. That's awesome Robert. Where can it be found? Any other info in terms of how to use it would be great.

 

I assume by your local Swissvax Supplier and use like an other polish

 

nice work! those are nice looking cars.

 

Awesome job. Black as black can be!

 

amazing work! And Beautful car!!!

 

I have some, although I've never used it. It's the bottle on the left.

 

great job!

 

3 jars of Insignis? :what: How much did that set you back?

 

Only one of those pots is mine. The other two went to two other members on DB. I wish they were all mine...

 

Yes its the same as the bottle on the left
