    This detail is a 2011 Audi A4 in black, low miles ~10k and never scene an ounce of wax since purchased, Sorry Dave!

    We only had roughly 6hrs total to execute an exterior correction and after a 12man hours the outcome is a 8.5/10, We only had time for a wash, clay, single pass, seal and wax, so there is certainly some defects left on the table given more time we would have chased out. BUT, the outcome was steller for a single pass on this ultra hard Audi paint!

    As we were pressed for time we only got a few shots before and after but enough to give everyone the idea regarding the paints defects and results from correction.

    Enough of that on to the detail, Oh and I hope you enjoy!!!

    Thanks for the compliments guys. :)

    We used PC 7424XPs on the detail. We talked about pulling out the Flex 3401 but opted not to for some reason.
