A brief write-up: Audi S5 booked in for a minor paintwork correction detail and Siramik APT & Diamas coatings.

Paintwork correction stages all shown under direct lighting, both before and after, with panel wipes in between sets "nothing to hide".
The below corrective pictures prior to refinement and straight from the cutting stage.





DA sanding marks left by another detailer.











Paintwork refined and thoroughly wiped down, 1 coat of Siramik Heat Resistant coating applied to paintwork, alloys, and trim, followed by 1 coat of Siramik Ultima and last but not least 1 coat of Diamas Professionali, all allowed to harden and cure for a further 24 hours.

Finished Results.

















Thanks for looking, comments welcomed and appreciated.

Well spotted, more pictures of the R34 on my social media links.

Lovely car looking it's best. Rob what compound did you use mate?.
Thanks mate, I used Meguiars M101 on a MF cutting pad via the Rupes Duetto.

Looks lovely Rob. Dramas certainly adding a new depth to the black paint.
Thanks Scott, yes certainly intensified the clarity and metallic flake.

looks stunning Rob



Diamas is protection in its own right with capabilities of 12-18 months but when used in conjunction with the APT system the results are mind blowing.

Hardness is a different story though as everything these days seems to claim to 9h, with Diamas containing ADNRS these act as an anchor to the coating so effectively creating a tougher bond, but thats not the be all and end all of it, contact angle of upto 112 degrees but an even more impressive slide angle of <20 degrees meaning surface water moves at the slightest of angles.

Hope this answers your question. My opinion go for it, you wont be disappointed.
