Been a while team.
Hectic at Beau Technique HQ but you can keep up to date with our day to day shananigans on Facebook and Twitter
This Audi RS4 came to us from a magazine publication we were involved in.
A car full of character and tons of punch.
Here it is on arrival…
Foamed, washed, decontaminated etc and in the workshop ready for some action where by it was evident that the vehicle was in reasonable shape but had suffered some heavy levels of marring where the owner had previously clayed a little too heavy…
Paint measurements taken and establishing there was plenty of clear coat present, Chosen weapon was Rupes LHr15 bigfoot polisher with cool pad from SP and ye olde faithful Scholl concepts S17+.
After 2 stages with same combination we left the paintwork looking pretty sharp as it was but still more to go to gain further enlightenment…
Moving onward, Next combination was again Rupes bigfoot with Rupes own yellow polishing pad and Sonax perfect finish...
Which left us with a much deeper finish…
Always checking along the way working under 3 varying light sources…
After 2 stages of paint correction…
There was a number of areas covered in paint protection film ( PPF ) which I must say I hate with a passion purely for it detracting from the finish of the paintwork and I feel giant stickers should be put on bikes and skateboards not expensive pieces of machinery.
Anywho, This was clearly chemically stained and a few bug etchings evident so working with a softer polishing pad from 3M and Autobrite Direct final finish polish we sorted this out in no time at all…
Side skirts suffered from the usual deeper scratches typically as they are at the lower of the car and do have a tendency to mary easily…
First set with Liquid elements micro fibre disc and S17+ this time with the Rupes mini bigfoot…
This was further sharpened up later along the detail but 2 hits served us well…
Now your getting the idea so once the 2 varying stages were completed, A final step was added using Polish Angel invincible 9h primer.
This again was worked with Rupes bigfoot polisher and Lake Country ccs white polishing pad…
Which left the vehicle looking like this…
Final layer being 2 coats of Polish Angel master sealant…
Usual whistles and bells tended to such as exhausts, glass, door shuts and engine bay.
Totally forgot to take any pictures midst wheels off and suspension areas deep cleaned but this was also carried out along with a final wipe down with Polish Angel connoisseur rapid waxx to leave us with this…
Thanks for looking.
I'll leave you with the final piccie which will lead on to my next write up…
