2010 S5 in Brilliant Black in for a 2 day full correction.

Wheels before



After cleaned with Opt. powerclean



Washed with CG citrus, clayed with riccardo etc.


After the prep and IPA wipedown shown with Fenix TK40. The paint on this car is an annoying combo, hard to correct yet very easily marred. 2 step correction carried out with the rotary and various pads and polishes. Jeweling process took about 4hrs alone, worked from 1500rpm down to about 900 with slow passes to create and even gloss without any leftover trails or haze.

Wish you were in Texas!!! My Black M5 paint needed some help bad!

Do you need this type of effort with white paint cars? (Audi's Ibis in particular)
