'Miles Better' Phantom Black B7 RS4 Detail
Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 9:54 pm
Hi all 
Had the pleasure of carrying out an enhancement detail to another B7 RS4 for a Forum Member, this time a Saloon in Phantom Black, very nicely spec'd with the Black Optics and with a very scarce half leather option
On inspection was covered in dust/rain fallout and general road film from being as used as a daily driver.
Aim was to protect and restore some colour to the paint as was looking a little dull and gray.
Products Used
Espuma G202 APC
MagiFoam Snow Foam
ONR
Iron X
Tardis
yellow poly clay
Jeffs Werkstatt Prime Strong
Espuma Revolution
Espuma Fabricare
Espuma Fresh
PERL
Menzerna 203 & 3M Yellow Pads
Reload
Some pictures on arrival
G202 APC applied on all the lower parts of the car, mirrors, bonnet to tackle the bugs and grime.
MagiFoam Snow Foam - left to dwell for approx 20 mins whilst I went round with detailing brushes using the foam to agitate areas etc.
Obligatory arty foam shot...
All badges, trim, window rubbers,grills, door handles etc agitated using the foam
Wheels cleaned using the foam
G202 used to give the tyres a scrub
Loving this brush for its flexibility, the tight places it can get in, very handy on the RS4 with the small caliper clearance.
Foam then rinsed and washed with ONR.
With the wash phase over it was time for decontamination; Tardis, IronX, Clay, ONR as lube and final rinse.
IronX in action
Following the final rinse and with the car dry, it was onto the shuts and interior, followed by the engine bay.
Then was Menz 203s on yellow pad followedby an IPA wipedown and LSP of choice was CarPro Reload with PERL for the trim.
Apologies for lack of photos of some of the stages, didnt have a camera man so was on auto-pilot of getting the bits done. Weather couldnt makeitsmind up today again, so was also concious that at any point it was going to pour down as it did on yesterdays detail, so it was head down.
Afters
Quick tidy up inside, nothing major required
Interior; PERL and Fabricare with G202 used to clean pedals and shuts
Rare half leather option
G202 for general cleaning; Werstatt Prime on Carbon, PERL everywhere else
Wheels polished with Werkstatt Prime, sealed with Reload, tyres with PERL
Pics really dontdo justice as was really overcast and dull
refelction shots came out better
Some shots round the back end
Another Miles Better looking RS4
Thanks for looking and feedback always welcomed
