Hi,

Here we have an Audi RS4 belonging to a friend of Amir. Fantastic cars these, but unfortunately the paintwork was a little tired. Ideally a stage 2 treatment would have been required, but we went with a stage 1 plus leather condition.

This was the car on arrival...

So, starting with all boot/fuel/door shuts being cleaned with APC. The wheels were cleaned with Bilberry, tyres with APC. The car was then washed with Meguiars Shampoo Plus, clayed and then washed again.

It was then taken inside to be dried and inspected under halogen and LED lighting

Lovely Smile The effects of bad wash routines, car washes and some panels being previously machined (badly) after paintwork. Next step was to take paint thickness readings

For machining i used the Makita rotary, Meguiars polishing pad with #80 and #83 polishes mixed together. The defects really were quite bad, especially with being on quite a tough paint, but it made a noticeable improvement

Once all machining was complete and IPA'd, i applied Lime Prime Lite by hand, giving the next step of wax application a perfect base to bond to. For wax i chose to apply Victoria Concourse

[Image: DSC02956_zpsb26cdf6d.jpg]

Any exterior rubbers and plastics were treated

[Image: DSC02957_zpsfb9e2f9e.jpg]

The interior was hoovered, dusted, glass cleaned inside and out. All leather cleaned with APC and then conditioned with Gliptone

[Image: DSC02958_zps5f83574d.jpg]

The tyres were dressed with Endurance gel and alloys sealed with Collinite. Exhausts polished. These were the final pictures
