On tuesday the local vw and audi dealer called me up, they coulden`t remove the marks after the signs that had been on the driving school cars. So He wanted me to do it. I said okey of course, for the right price. Done deal. Went to pick up the A4 around 4 pm and delivered 11 AM on wedneday. Switch for the Audi A3, that I delivered today. I most say this car was the worst. They haden`t done anything to it. I had to find out my most aggressive clay. THe paint was like sandpaper. I killed the whole clay. I started with a precleand with ARO, then foam over that with Citrus wash and gloss. P21S on the wheels. Started with the wheels, used EZ brush and Swissvax wheel brush. The wheels was so bad, that they diden`t get mutch better. later on. Then rinsed down the car, and washed with 2b, cg chencille mf mitt and citrus wash from CG. The car got nice and cleaned. Rinsed it again. Then foamed with Optimum car wash and started to clay. Tried this for the first time and worked great! Nice lube. Rinsed off and dried, drove it inside for inspection. The car had heavy swirls and what not. I got my makita that day and settled for Maktia + wool + powergloss. Tried this on half of the hood, and it was a killer combo. Cut fast and the paint diden`t get to hot. The paint looked lsp ready, I am very impressed with powergloss. Started on my second bottle now by the way. I haven`t used wool to mutch before, but I have to say its good. On audi is a great thing, and I am gone use it more in the future. I worked my way around the car and used menzerna top inspection to get some more out of the pad on my way. The compounding took some time, the second stage went faster. After PG and wool I went for 3M ultrafine SE and a blue sonus pad on my Metabo. The paint got a extra gloss and buffertrails gone. Started on the rims, with some Duragloss 501 and a mf. Got all the stuff away, this is a good product for sure! Love it. Went with Megs silicon free dressing on the tires. I washed the engine with DP engine degreaser and dressed it with 303 protecant. Wipe down with optimums new quick detailer and then topped the car with jetseal. Glass with jetseal. Dressed the trim with CG VRP. That was about everything, the car came out great. I would have topped with a wax, but let jetseal work alone this time. Before: 50/50: After: :mounty:
Mate, that looks FANTASTIC! To get down to LSP ready with wool and Powergloss takes pure and sheer SKILL!!! Great afters, looks brand new!!!
Looks like new Ketil! Sorry to hear about your poor clay. Looks like you had a chance to try out a couple of your new toys.
Those wheels looked pretty bad :gasp:. I love the afters hopefully they don't use that car as a driving school car anymore.
Well done there pirex :applause: :applause: Vehicle looks great :worship: I have some questions though, so were you able to completely remove all the letters/symbols that were on the vehicle? It looks you did. That combo you used which wool pad did you use? Meg's, Edge? Glad to hear you enjoyed working with wool pads, I love working with wool. They have incredable bite to them and mixed with Power Gloss your in for a fun, fun, fun detail :wicked: Man I love your studio :druling: :druling: from the colour of the walls to the lay out of the floor love every inch of it pirex :chest: Thank you for sharing wiht us bro, well done :applause: Oh so you said the dealership contacted you to do this vehicle....nice!!! :worship: All haill the Norway detailer :worship: :worship:
Pirex...great job on that buggy!! I'm sure you just about doubled its resale value...p.s...love the flooring!!
Thanks mate I went over with 3M ultrafine to remove some trails after. But Pg is good! Thanks again. Thank you Haha, poor clay! I did, and it was fun. The wheels was BAD! Glad I had DG 501. Thank you Carlos Of course allt the letters are gone, that was my job. hehe. If not I would have trown my buffer and menzerna out of the window!!! But yes, I had to go over the area for some times. I used the wool pads that came with my makita, not sure how aggressive. Oh yeah, wool and pg is FUN Glad you still like it. I did a nice clean up today, man it gets dirty after so mutch detailing. :yikes: hehe. Fun what they wanted me to do it, so it can be more cars from there in the future. They were stunned! :headbang: Thank you richy!!
Glad to hear it pirex, not that I doubted you about the removal of the letters or anything like that I was just curious that's all. So wool pad with power gloss removed the letters, nice good to know. So pirex have you ever had some of the deckles/letters where they have etched through the clear coat or just stubborn to remove? I've never had to remove any kind of sticker/deckle from a vehicle so I'm not sure what the process would be but I remember you doing your white van and that was good to read. Man with results like that pirex I'm sure you blew them out of the water my friend, I know the feeling when a dealership tells you how good your of a job you did, it's a great feeling come buddy take a :takeabow:
I know you diden`t mean it that way man Always great to be sure! Stickers dosen`t etch trough clear coat. But remember the paint behind the stickers is brand new and never seen any soap or sun. And the rest has been washed 4 days a week since 2004. So the problem is to get the old paint, just as good as the new one! That menas that this car has just as good paint as when it was new Cool huh? Its a great feeling bro, thank you
oh okay I gotcha, thanks for sharing pirex. Don't know if I'll ever work with any stickers but if I do I know who to bug :whistle:
sweet detailing there pirex, your putting that new pw into good use already. the pics you took of the car all foamed up looks awesome, the dirt looks like its melting right off.
Great job Pirex, I too love the wool and powergloss combo, but the m105 and wool combo is awesome also. You make me want to buy an Audi for a daily driver.
Pirex that is some fine fine work there. I am steadily impressed with the work you are doing bro. It seems as though you get a tougher assignment everytime I see one of your details and you step up to the plate everytime! I tell you what would have looked good over Jetseal on that color is some Zymol Glasur. I used that on a car the same color the other day and it made my jaw drop!
Great job on that A4, mr. Audiman. Looks like you get to detail a lot of Audis, just like Toto BMWs... Once again, good work!
