This customer picked up his new Audi Q7 on Friday and before I got the chance to tell him, "DON'T LET THEM PREP IT!" the deed had already been done... I started off with my usual before 1st wax mixture of No-Touch snow foam (10%) and HD-Extra degreaser (5%), let it soak for about 5 minutes while I filled up my 2 wash buckets. With the washing all finished, I left it wet and proceeded to clay using an ONR mix switching clay pieces (about every 1/2 panel) that I had in a cup of hot water. The muck that came off this 1 week old car didn't surprise me one bit... the bog surprise came once it was dried. Dried her off with my puffy-wuffy no-name towel and then pulled into my new home for the next 2 days . She first received a layer of Porzelack Teflon wax applied by orbital very slowly in hopes of slightly polishing out some of those dealer-induced scratches... did a fairly good job, too. As that was curing I applied Collinite 885 to all the shuts... very quickly. That stuff sets like stone if you let it dry. After I finished the shuts I removed the Tefoln wax and then proceeded to the wheels and gave them a coat of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant and then spruced up the tires with some Insta Finish Super Blue Guard. By the time I finished that it was time to apply the next coat... Supernatural. While that was curing I attacked the front grill with some APC, metal polish and a MF. Now the part of this "dealer prep" that he got that just blew my mind was that the cheeky :censored: prepped a brand new, $60k car by taking it to the friggin' automatic car wash!!! There were brush marks ALL over it! You can't see to much from the pics, but in the last picture, the tail light, it's as clear as day. Un-bleeping-believable... :thud: Thanks for reading! Scratched to hell... Cheeky bums... automatic car wash... COMING UP NEXT... What could be under there??
Great recovery. Sure looks nice now. Thanks for sharing the detail and the write up. You saved the day...:thumb:
so liquid glass works good under a coat of supernatural???? man i thinki might have to go to the seedy back alley carquest in town and pick up one of the bottles they had!!!
Actually I used the LG for the windshield, but it is a great base coat and works well for rims too! Old school stuff but I love it... been using it for years.
