AudiOn19s: 996 Detailed (NO 56K)


AudiOn19s

Recommended Posts

Ha...it's pretty bad that I have to make it an event to detail my own car. It's no secret this car has been a track rat this summer. It's easily logged >1000 track miles in the last 5 months and despite my best efforts to keep it spotless the rubber marks dirt everywhere and lack of time to properly keep after it the car finally got the point where it was no long acceptable.

 

No befores...it wasn't horrible but Light swirling was starting to develop and it didn't have the gloss level I wanted so last thursday I washed it and clay'd it and put it away in the garage to work on in my spare time. I finally finished Saturday afternoon just in time for it to be overcast which is the first set of pictures. But I pulled it back out today to get some full sun shots too:

 

Process:

Wash

Clay

Zaino ZAIO on wheels

Polish: Megs 105 and purple foam wool on a couple of trouble spots

Polish with Menzerna SIP on white polishing pad @ 1500rpm

Polish with Menzerna PO85RD with gray pad for finishing

Polish wiht Menzerna PO85RD on blue pad (just to try to add a little more gloss)

2 coats of Pinnacle Souveran paste wax

I know :D I've seen her driving in the car and have actually seen all the heads in cars around her rotate in awe. Lucky car :p

 

 

If his wife were in the picture, no one would notice the car. :)

 

Andy, looks good as always. I'm glad you didn't sell it.
