    Hi all,

    An Audi R8 owner decided he wanted a Miracle Detail, so he drives over 400 miles to come and get his R8 detailed, it was originally booked in for 10-12 hours max, but in the end it turned into 18 hours in 2 days with the client picking his car up at 6pm to drive home again. He didn't get home till 1am in the morning!!

    Anyway, I thought, how bad can it be, its a R8 with 10k on the clock and just over a year old, should be a breeze... How wrong was I...

    Ideally, I needed to sand this car, but didn't have my 200 litre compressor with me or my Mirka bulldog sanders, nor did I have enough time to make it 100% as client needed to get back home.


    The pictures...

    Beautiful recovery. I like how you got a new Snap On box to match your truck! I'm still looking for a hot water system for my van. Any chance of getting a pic of your system?

    Beautiful car, outstanding work as per usual!

    Paul, are those the gold LC CCS pads I see you using in one of your shots? What do you use them for, as a jeweling pad?

    Yes thats correct, like Lamborghinis.

    18 Hours and it still wasn't 100%.

    Im getting a new Compressor this friday for my studio, along with a few other toys from the nice man at Snap On.... I can feel a new tool box coming on....

    Those close-up pictures of the paint just give the look of a hard clear. Great work and thanks for all the pics!

    Incredible, love the garage you have there with all those lovely motor cars :worship2:


    Looks like the yellow 3M pad to me on the 3M backing plate. The yellow is the polishing pad although it is still quite soft. Sure Paul can confirm though.
