Drive 'n' Shine - A3 Nanolex New Car Prep

Had this in this week, and made a welcome break in between the car I have spent 60 hours on! - more on that later

On arrival



Usual wash and clay procedure - no pics

The inspection, glad to see the local Audi dealer is nothing if not consistent in the way it preps new cars























All corrected using SV CF pro on a 3M polishing pad

Bonnet after



Rear wing before



And after



Client then called in for me to look over his new purchase



Back to the job, once all the machine work was completed, paintwork and wheels were given an IPA wipe down in preparation for the Nanolex Premium application, which was applied as per the instructions




Next up the glass treatment



Then sealed with the glass sealant.

While that was curing, I turned my attention to the interior, nothing more than a quick vacuum and dust down, followed with an application of textile sealant



Engine bay was given a quick wipedown and dressed with AS Finish



And the finished results

















And a few previews from the car thats been giving me nightmares all week and taken around 60 hours worth of work to sort out!

Note - this was a certain London based compaies idea of paintwork correction







Few of how it should be looking

Next job queueing up in the reflection, should be a breeze after this one







Cheers for looking

Bryan

All finished now, just waiting for the wheel to come back from being refurbed.

The bonnet wasn't the problem it was the engine cover that had EVERYONE stumped, till Capt. Morgan and google came to the rescue
