    I was asked by a friend to correct the paintwork on an Audi S4 Avant. I did not see the car prior to the detail, so did not know the extent of the work required. When I turned up, it was raining but the car was quite clean looking, no before pics as it was raining and wanted to get on.

    l I started by cleaning the alloys will Bilberry wheel cleaner and the tyres with Megs APC , rinsed then followed up with Chemical Guys Citrus snowfoam:

    Engine bay was cleaned with APC (some before pics)

    the car was washed with Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild and a Dodo Juice Yeti Fist then rinsed, the car was clayed with Swissvax Paint Rubber then detarred with Tardis and finally treated with Iron Cut. Finally the car was washed again and rinsed.

    The Wheels were also treated with Iron cut:

    Then the car was rinsed down one last time:

    the car was taken inside and tried off and then time for inspection of the paint:

    For the correction I used:

    Menz Power Gloss
    Menz Power Finish
    Menz Final Finish
    3M FCP
    3M Ultrafina
    Megs 105

    Hex Logic pads (Orange/Green/White/Black)

    Obviously not in that order, but each panel was worked differently.

    50/50 shots:

    Once the car was corrected, Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied via DA, then applied Swissvax Shirld wax, left to cure for 15 mins and buffered off, left for an hour then applied Swissvax Best of Show and left for 40 mins then buffed off.

    The windows were cleaned with 3M Glass cleaner and sealed with Dodo Juice Rest Mist.

    The plastic trim was treated to Swissvax Nano Express.

    The alloys were treated to Zaino Z2 then Swissvax Autobahn and the tyres with Swissvax Pneu
    The engine bay was treated to Chemical Guys Silk Trim Detail Spray:
