    So I have the perfect client, I have never met him, i have access codes to his house so I can do the cars whenever works, he just tells me to do whats needed.

    so i figured i would do everthing but polish, figured he might be shockedb by that bill :rollinglaugh:

    so here is his wifes a6,

    It was washed with onr
    clayed with ricardo and swissvax clay
    there was a ton of tar so i needed to use some amazing roll off and elbow grease, the aro actully helped, carlos was ther he can vouch.
    next was duragloss pre bonding agent
    followed by duragloss 105.

    while that was curing I did the interior just a simple vac and clean, nothing sectacular

    I buffed off the duragloss and then cleaned the windows with swissvax window cleaner

    Very nice vehicle :thumb: I can understand why Pirex likes his Audis.

    The car looks great Calgary, I like how that Duragloss looks on it I saw a little how easy it is to use Duragloss and I'm looking forward on getting my stuff in.

    The Swissvax clay feels almost like the Ricardo, a bit different and a bit hard to explain but it felt like the Ricardo, found that interesting. Now about the tar, I don't know how much help I was Calgary as I was freezing out there...don't know how you did it I would have been too cold to do it..actually I was too cold to do it hahahahaha. The tar was a pain to remove, but ARO was a briliant idea and it worked great too.

    Thank you for sharing the pictures, it turned out great.

    I like my garage very much :thumb:

    thansk carlos, and yeah i also see why pirex loves the audis. they aren nice rides.

    Duragloss makes some good stuff, this car will be proteced for a few months now so i wont have to worry about doing it in the cold for a while.

    and it wasnt cold, i was actully hot. If you ask me it was a wonderfull fall day :p

    I agree with Mike not having any feelings in his hands, my fingers were turning pink because of how cold they were getting Mike on the other hand was just wearing a sweater working away on the vehicle like he was in the middle of summer :eek:

    Me I had my winter jacket on :rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh:

    I guess once you get going though you do heat up a bit but still no mobile for me unless it's summer or I'm detailing it inside...like the fire truck :thumb: :rollinglaugh:

    yeah the germans make some nice cars, its just to bad they cost so much to fix :rollinglaugh: , thanks, i rellly liked the look of 105. I dont normaly use sealents, but i thought these people needed durabilty for the winter. It was suprised how good it looked on gold.
    But dont worry everyone, im still a nuba man :righton:

    yep, if you are getting a geraman car, better get it new, or only a couple years old.
    It's least likely to break then.

    Ah, that's a nice car.

    Great work on getting it even nicer! Nice gloss from that Melange color (at least I think it's called that)
