Audi S5 - Black Paint Properly Polished VERY WET!
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.
Before
After
Water etching 50/50
Finished down
License plate area before
After correction with spot pads
Trunk area needed several passes with the orange hydro which works very well on hard paint and finishes down well
More defects + water etching
After
Before
After
Tailpipes before
After + sealed with Rejex
Rejex curing on the wheels, 2 coats applied a few hours apart
Mirrors cleaned up by hand
Final shots
Extra hours jeweling well worth it in the end :thumb:

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)
