2007 white Audi A3
full exterior clear coat correction
Flex mini rotary
6.5" yelllow pads
6.5" blue pads
4.0" orange pads
Meguiars M105 Ultra Cut Compound
Meguiars M205 Ultra Finishing Polish
Liquid Glass Auto Polish Paint Sealant hand applied for the base or bottom coat
Collinite No.476S Super Double Coat Detergent Proof Paste Wax hand applied for the top coat
for the interior the customer just asked us to wipe down the interior to remove light dust, clean & condition the leather seats.
the bizzard kicked my ass last week but we were able to squeeze out a second big job. this was finished after the chrysler 300c that we posted a few days ago.
i got a few good before pics of the damaged clear coat after wash & claying. i hope you can see how deep the swirls were & the fine sctratches as well.
this is a regular customer of mine, he takes good care of his car but neither of us thought it needed this kind of work.
the after shots were taken after compounding with no polishing or wax applied just yet.
please take a look at the tight areas that were reached with a 4" orange foam pad & Meguiars Ultra Cut Compound (M105). for the larger parts of the car a 6.5" yellow pad was used. the car gets polished out afterwords with 6.5" & 4" blue pads & Meguiars Ultra Finishing Polish (M205). we give the car a second hand wash to clean up all the dust left behind by the compound & polish. an Absorber & leaf blower were used to dry the car followed by a fresh micro fiber wipedown with some spray wax to prep the surface to apply the wax. since the weather is still crappy out we went with a durable & thick paste wax. Collinite 476S Super Double Coat was the winner.
