The 'Miles Better' RS4 Avant Clean-Up

Post by steve_70 » Sun Apr 03, 2011 9:45 pm

Hi all :bigwave:

Been busy on everybody else's so thought I would take some time out to give my own RS4 a bit of loving 8-)

But then not much needed as its always spotless :lol:


Foamed with Magifoam through AutoBrite Foam Lance and Nilfisk PW

Image


Image


No Wheel cleaners required, just agitated with foam. Wheels protected still from last year by FK1000P

Image


Image


Decloaking the Magifoam.
Image


Image


Image


Bucket washed with ONR and Noodle Wash Mitt. Tar spots and bugs tackled with Tardis.
Image


Foam thoroughly rinsed off with PW and then allowed to sheet and self dry using open ended hose. Shows the self-drying action on one side of the bonnet using the open end hose method, no towel used here.
Image


Image


body and wheels wiped down with ONR QD
Image


Tyres Dressed with CarPro PERL
Image


Rain started to stop play, so towel dryed again and topped up the LSP - Jeffs Werkstatt Acryllic. Applied a coat of the Jett Trigger Spray Sealant.

More Rain :twisted:

Is that a big gap between your bonnet and bumper or are you just pleased to see me?!

Yes, its a big gap. Newbury Audi sorting it out when can take it in, they need to take bumoer off and refit it.

Steve, how do you use the ONR? I have got a bottle but have not got around to using it yet. On DW there seem to be a million different ways to use the stuff!! You use it as a regular shampoo? And how does it work as a QD?
