    Here is a very neglected 9 year old Audi RS4

    Vehicle had its usual wet stages - foam, wash, clay etc etc

    Working my way up trying different combos I settled on using Menz 302 on a cutting pad on the side which had been completely resprayed in the past, most of the original paint was corrected with a wool pad (LCPFW) where there was significant paint levels as the defects were deep and the paint was rock hard.

    Pics are before refinement

    I just wet myself! Fantastic work Jay. Is the paint on the older Audis as hard as the newer stuff?

    WOW !!! Jay. Amazing. The gloss and depth is just insane. I wish they brought the RS4's and a lot of the performance Audi machines way back when.

    I love your work area. Mind taking more pictures of it? It looks so chill :)
