Hey AGO,
I have an 07 Audi S4 Avant that needs attention, and from what I've heard anecdotally, it's going to be stubborn during correction. I have a gotten slight taste for this when I made a test pass using an HF DA with a crap HF cutting pad (orange) and Meg's UC. It didn't make a significant difference after two passes. So here is what I had been thinking as possible next steps...
Given that the HF pads are junk, I thought to go with the new LC thin pads (orange, white, black) and keep at it with the UC. I'm hoping that the proper pad (and backing plate) will make the UC more effective.
Alternatively (and with greater cost), I believe the next step in aggressiveness (within Meg's, and my skill level) would be the MF correction system. It sounds like this will be a quicker solution, which of course I wouldn't be against but didn't want to jump to something overly aggressive right off.
In regards to further steps, I have the Meg's UP and UW. (If you can't tell, I tried to purchase the best of what I could locally to tackle another car in the garage that had a minor incident). I'd like to use these as much as possible so they do not go to waste, but I also really want this car to pop. I had been looking at things like CG Blacklight, WDGPS, BlackFire, and many other sealants and waxes. Between all these acronyms and lenghty product names (looking at you BF, OC, etc.) my head is spinning. Suggestions here would be especially helpful.
The remaining question I have is the use of the Nanoskin Autoscrub system. While not the largest of vehicles, this wagon will still take some time, and claying definitely is a time suck. Safe to say this product is as advertised?
Thanks for the wealth of info so far!
