This was a detail that I tried to book with an Audiworld member 2 1/2 years ago but we just never could get a date.

Anyway this car needed some TLC. Tons of swirls and light scratches as this is the customer's daily driver and unfortunately it sits outside 365 days a year.

So we cleaned it up with Menzerna Power Gloss compound with an orange ccs pad followed it with Menzerna SIP with a white pad and then finished with Menzerna PO85RD with a blue pad. For our last step we used Swissvax cleaner fluid to prep the paint for Swissvax Divine.

Hey Phil,

How come you didn't go with a sealant since it's only an outside car? Just curious!

Also, how do you feel about PG w/ foam pads? Think it's good enough to remove just about any/all swirls? Thinking about stepping it up and getting some PG, but was also told to try the purple wool pads as well?

customer wanted to get the best possible gloss and wet look.

in a couple of months the customer will put some Einszett Glanz on it.

 

Looks great Phil.

Those wheels look great on that car, like they belonged on there in the 1st place!!
