One clean car !!!!!!!

Post by Newdub » Thu Feb 07, 2008 10:33 pm

Decided to get the car looking a bit better now the weathers drying up a bit, the car was prepped with the usual, Snow foam, clay, soaked with filtered water and dried with wonder towel. The car was taped up and polished with a rotary using a combination of 3M cutting and finishing products. Managed to loose 80% of swirls bar a few scratches and then sealed with best of show wax.... etc

Sorry for the bad quality photo's

Still need to get a second layer of BOS then a layer of Collonite to keep it looking good for longer. All in all pretty knackered now :-)

Stunning work mate, the audi paint is a PITA isnt it. Rock hard even with rotary use. Loving the all black grill, looks quality on a black car and a B5 RS4 what else could u ask for

Looks ABSOLUTELY stunning!

And as mentioned that blacked out grille looks awesome.

Top RS4, and the only one that i've liked so far in black!

Well done!

My biggest complaint with the Audi paint is the savage orange peel :-(
Its very tough paint, end up having to do quite a few passes to correct.lol

You got to keep an eye on the current market :wink:
Get a cheap runabout. I use my diesel van most of the time, and when the sun shines, out comes the RS!

Good luck with with whatever happens, I think it will sell at that price due to colour/condition, but you may have to wait
