Audi S6 Weekly Clean

Post by technics100 » Mon Mar 02, 2009 5:46 pm

Here she is, my Audi S6. As the title suggests, its a year 2000 with 81.5k on the clock. I have had the car for about 3 months, so far I have changed the wheels to Audi S3 / S8 ones, painted the calipers black and added S6 logos to the front calipers and changed the sidelight & foglight bulbs to white ones. Only got it back last week after a gearbox rebuild. Not good just after xmas.. Its fully loaded and very nice to drive, although only does 16-18mpg, but you have to feed the horses... all 340 of them

Sorry no before pics, but it was dirty because of the snow, below is the wash process;

Wash Process
Washed with 2 bucket method using Lambswool mitt ( microfibre mitt for wheels and arches)
Megs Shampoo plus
Dried with waffle weave towel
Sprayed with DG Aquawax (last bit to use up)
Wheels - Bilberry 4:1 then poorboys wheel sealant (thanks Mark)
Tyres - Megs Endurance Gel
Interior - Poorboys natural look dressing, hoover
Mirrors & Exhuasts - Autosol metal polish
Seats - Megs Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner

This is basically what I do every week, maybe not the poorboys on the interior or the autosol or leather cleaner, but the same wash, except I use last touch for drying instead of aquawax. so normally takes me 30 mins, i do the wives 1 series too. because I hoover etc every week its never that bad so I can keep on top of it.

Total Time = 1hr 15 mins

Not really I just stuck them on. I bought 6 of them for £5. not bad and worth a shot, they have been on for over 3 months with no signs of wear..
