My first Audi, and it was a beast! S6 Correction, Opti-Coat, and Interior Detail

Really great work! I like the beading pictures. Car is definitely a sleeper to those who don't know Audi models.

My god... I don't treat my $10,000 Pontiac even near that bad. Looks great after you got done with it though.

:dblthumb2:

Great job mate , that guy came to the right place ! lol

Thanks!

Awesome job giving that Audi the attention it deserves! I enjoyed the right up, had a good time reading it!

^I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

How do you like the DI fine clay? Mine is difficult to reshape. Any tips?

^Never had an issue with it... and I have used a lot of it.

Looks great!

^Thanks!

^Always have to do a few beading pics after applying a coating... too good to pass up! and yeah, this is one quick "family sedan"

"Correction: Menzerna FG400 on 6.5" LC White Polishing Pad"

With Audi having Rock Hard Paint why this Pad instead of something stronger ? Did you feel FG400 plus cutting Pad overkill?

To be honest, I used several different pad combos since the car had several repainted areas, I just kind of got lazy and didn't want to list it all out.

For the OEM Audi paint, I used Orange Light Cutting Pad with FG400, I feel this combo still cuts well enough given that I was only doing a 1 step, didn't leave behind any haze, and left a glossy finish.

For the repainted areas, I used the white pad because the paint was softer and I continued to use the FG400 because the repainted areas had much more defects so I knew I would appreciate the cutting power of the FG400 compared to using something like PF2500.

Like always, you do amazing work! Would love to be able to be just half of a detailer as you, your are one of the best I've seen

Wow! Awsome work and great pictures and narrative.

Two questions, had the owner requested a complete multi-step detail where cost was not an issue, what would you have done as far as the exterior? Would you also include Opticoat in that regiment?

Awesome pictures. That rear end is NICE.

Thanks! If a multi-step detail were to be decided on, I would guess I would have done FG400 via MF cutting pads followed by either PF2500 or FF4000 with a finishing pad (assuming a test spot proved that was an effective process). I never include Opti-Coat (or 22ple) as a part of any paint correction job, it is always an additional add-on option. Unfortunately time and money were both a factor in this job so we had to decide what would yield the best results... and since he was a repeat customer of mine, I threw in the interior cleaning on the house to fit his budget... which is why I was "ok" with not making it perfect since he wasn't worried about cleaning it at all in the first place.

Awesome pictures. That rear end is NICE.

:iagree:
