This was done at a Audi Dealership, they was instructed not to touch the vehicle apart from usual PDI so was expecting vehicle to still have transport wraps still intacted. However it wasnt and upon first setting my eyes on it it was very noticable the paint work was dreadful with every panel suffering with RDS and scuffs. Looking at the condition you would of thought that it had done more than the 20 miles that was showing on the clock. Wash - pre soak with Power Max 3, rinsed and foamed again - wheels cleaned with P21S Wheel Gel - washed with TBM using Shampoo Plus and Lambswool washmitt - clayed with Sonus Green which did remove some contaminants Vehicle was then moved into there Service area to allow me to work. When client contacted me he requested a Paint Inspection Report to be carried out so all paint measurements were recorded and all defects found from visual inspection were documented. Over 1300 paint readings were taken and recorded using the Positestor 6000 PTG and the 200 model used on the bumpers This was then downloaded onto laptop for analysis using the PosiSoft software supplied with memory gauges. Graph below shows the readings taken from the roof Instead of giving client one graph per panel (13) I made one graph that showed all panels. The measurements taken from the vehicle indicate that all panels feature the original factory finish.. Some of the defects Correction After trying several combos I found menz 3.02 on a black waffle pad was giving me excellent results , however for some of the deeper marks/ scratches i had to step up to Megs Cutting pad and 3m Fast Cut Plus Rear Tailgate Front Bumper Some correction shots Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: After correcting all panels I followed up with 3M Ultrafina on a 3M blue pad. Vehicle was then given a IPA wipedown in preparation for Zaino then I remembered Andy wanted Swissvax Divine applied so i went around and applied cleaner fluid by hand in preparation for Divine. Interior was also detailed and leather conditioned using Swissvax Leather milk. Wheels were sealed with Zaino AIO and then topped with Zaino Clear Seal. Engine bay was given a wipe down with 303 aerospace protectant. Running boards were treated to Zaino AIO..Finally windows were sealed with Carlack glass sealant Some finished shots after 20+ hours of work as always thanks for looking
Wow, I can't believe what poor condition the paint was In. There was one there that I though you wouldn't get out but you did. Very Impressive. The Q7 sure has a big nose. I'm not sure If I like yet. What I do like Is your detail and your write up. What a great job. It turned out Beautiful Just Beautiful. That rotary looks interesting I've never seen that one before. Well, Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it...:worship2:
Nice job on that. As Buddy said, I can't believe the condition the paint was in although when my wife took delivery of her new Jetta (we saw it when the plastic was still on it ) I had to correct the entire car. 20 hours on a new car - that's so sad. I hope you found the kid that did the PDI and broke your foot off in his ass! Awesome job again Jayplay!
what a great job. enjoyed your write up too. the Q7 looks so great that it's better than what i see here in real life.
not a fan of the lights myself but they do look better on the Q7 than the original red stock ones imo
This was excellent work, very nicely done....chicago pneumatic eh? You wouldnt happen to have a link would you? Those are excellent photos as well..love everything about this one!
Wow gorgeous vehicle :druling: I've seen some of these around town and boy do they have an aggressive stance...well traditional for Audi. I'm shocked at the condition it was in though, hard to imagine that thing was new Good thing you were chosen to detail it though, you did an incredible job there Jayplay :thumb: The graph of all the readings was a very nice touch well done and as always a well done write up :applause:
thanks glad you enjoyed it heres link to polisher or Clean Your Car - car care products UK sales them
Are those tail lights factory or aftermarket? They look waayyy too Asian for an Audi, IMO. Regardless, nice work, I never like having to do correction on a brand new vehicle.
Great turn around! Did the dealer pay for the correction? I hope they did considering their employee thrashed it. I love the way black metallics look whe they are done right. Thanls for posting the write up! :thumb:
Great job as always. Count me in the group that just loves how you made the black metallic paint look.
