Audi S3 Cleanse & Protect Detail

Post by RandomlySet » Mon Dec 13, 2010 1:33 pm

Ok, so not an RS, but my mates S3... We did this a couple of months ago, ready for some winter protection

Ok, this car belongs to fellow DW member, S3-DAVE. I'd popped out on Thursday, and when I get back around noon, he was about to start cleaning his car. So naturally, I offered a helping hand and took some pictures along the way.... I'll try my best to remember what prodcuts we used as a) they were all his, b) it's been a few days and c) I've drank lots of alcohol at edition38 this weekend (not bad for a t-total person :lol:)

So, here's how the car look to start

Dave making a start on the wheels using Megs Wheel Brightener and a Small EZ Detail Wheel Brush....

Image

Snow Foamed

Image

Image

whilst the 1st coat was dwelling, I went around all the grills, window edges etc with a Swissvax style brush....

Image

Rinsed off by Dave

Image

I washed the car using the usual 2BM method, Megs Lambswool Mitt and Duragloss 901 as the shampoo of choice....

Image

Dave was still working on the wheels. They are in awesome condition, he just works soooooo slow :lol:

The duragloss was very nice, and I may have to consider investing in some myself :D

The car was then rinsed and dried, and Dave just finishing drying the wheels....

Ready to clean the interior now

Image

Mats hoovered with my new Karcher went & dry. They were soaked in some Megs APC at 10:1

Plastics and Leather were cleaned with AG Vinyl & Leather restorer and windows done with Megs Glass Cleaner...

Whilst Dave was doing the interior bits, I gave the car a coat of Werkstat Carnauba Jett (IIRC). Dave seems to like his sealants more than waxes ATM.... A fine coat of this, left for about 30mins, and then wiped off before getting a second "quick" coat by Dave later on....

Tyres were later dressed with Gloss It Signature Tyre Gloss. Not sure what to make of this product yet. Might have to try it again at some point...

Some final pictures
