President Detailed: 2004 Audi S4- M105 Knock-Ou

Not sure if you know but on here you can put all your pics in one post.

 

Great work! One question, have you ever had ANY problems with detailing Audi engine? I mean the stream of water...I was at the service shop last week, had my cousin replace O2 sensor on my daily driver, he saw my detailed engine, and mentioned to be careful about spraying water on it, as he had serviced an A6 (V8) that had it's engine detailed, and somehow the detailer managed to get water inside ignition coils, and the engine would not start...when the car was taken to the dealer for this warranty work, the dealer almost voided the warranty and did not want to work on it, as he expected that the engine has beed flooded, there is no other way for all the coils to go out at once...
I myself also had a problem with my wife's 04 325Ci, where the oil sensor went out and had to be replaced because of the same issue...from now on I don't use the flooding method detailing German engines, I'd rather stick with P21S TAW and an old terry towel...

 

Very nice work! What backing plate do you have for the rotary and the wool pad?

 

Great work. I'll have to try the 105 on some bright work I have.... Looks awesome!

The Q-Tip+105 is interesting method... Thanks!

 

WOW, awesome car and excellent work... I love that colour...

 

Sick Audi and you did an awesome job as well. I'm not a fan of the S4 badging though, too loud for my tastes.

 

thanks for the tip! Seperating into multiple posts is a PITA sometimes! haha!

I havent had a problem yet, but I will definitely keep that in mind! I dont like doing engines for this very reason though..

I used a Meguairs solo backing plate on the rotary. It works like the 3m, but is WAY cheaper.

 

Excellent work as always!

 

Nice work there. Car looks awesome!

 

Thanks!

 

Very nice work..very good writeup...using a rotary for the barrels...damn, you learn something every day: I don't think I would have thought of that..just by hand. Thanks for that tip..BTW, I'm assuming you used a small diameter pad for that? Good work!!:applause2:

 

Haha! Thanks! I actually used the wool pad that came with my Makita rotary, its prob 7". the rims are 19" so it worked pretty good since they are more open.

 

Superb work and great attention to detail! That paint is truly flawless!

 

Thanks Denzil!

Thanks!

 

wow!!!

awesome result you got there....
one question, when do you have to decide using rotary or porter cable using KBM? does it depend on the defect? or something else?

 

I actually prefer the rotary since I started with it, and it works a bit faster on the real hard defects. The rotary using the KBRM is very smooth, especially compared to the DA.
