Oakes - Detailed: 2008 Audi A4 S-Line Avant - Collaboration

Here is a full exterior detail of a 2008 Audi A4 S-Line Avant, in an awesome gunmetal metallic color with matching wheels. The pictures aren't as extensive as usual because I was given only 1 say to complete this car, and it needed the work, so to save time we cut down on camera time. Which is where I called a good friend of mine, Jon, to come in for an assist on getting this car turned around as quickly, while being thorough, as possible. Audi clear coat is fortunately hard which makes it more resistant to scratches but difficult to polish! However, we were able to see great work with a few more passes of the PC as you will be able to tell in the pictures

Process:
Full wash - Clay - rewash
Menzerna Power Gloss - Orange pads
Menzerna Power Finish 203 - Green pads
Optimum Poli - Seal
Rewash
Carnuaba wax

Wheels Before




After




After a few hours spent washing, claying and working on the wheels, I moved onto the engine

Engine Bay before



Agitating the APC



Engine Bay after




All taped up and ready to go




Myself working the 203 in



Jon working the Power Gloss



This is my buddy who hung around since the RR Evo X was in the garage, he would wave everytime I put my hand up, but wouldn't do it for the camera



Here is the best example of a 50/50 that I could capture as metallic paint is difficult to capture such defects
