    2018 Audi SQ5

    Did Carpro Essence and Cquartz today. Also got 20% tint on the front windows and 70% everywhere else including the windshield. Also added the quattro sticker on the rear doors. Yes I know the wheels and tires are filthy but I just wanted to get the paint done today and not worry about the rest...

    2018 Audi SQ5

    After about a year, I replaced my S5 Coupe with this. I wanted something roomier and more comfortable for my commute. Car was never washed or anything at the dealer so all it got was a wash, sealant (drying aid), and some glaze (mostly because the solvent in it was helpful in removing some...

    Clear Coat Stain?

    The car is a year old and it happened recently so not during the painting process. At work tomorrow I'll try something stronger or try lightly wet sanding it.

    Clear Coat Stain?

    So, today I noticed that I have this small brown spot on my bumper that appears to be a stain in the clear coat (if you zoom in you can see that the metallic flake goes through it). So far I've tried clay, IronX, graffiti remover, and compound and nothing has touched it. Any other ideas or is...

    Cloth fender liner cleaning

    For mud, a pressure washer. For everything else, just brush them while dry if you don't have a pressure washer.

    New 2018 Audi S5

    Not so much detail related, but added 30% window tint. Well, my tint guy is very detail oriented. Always a perfect job.

    New 2018 Audi S5

    Well, my A3 lease was up and I got this new 2018 Audi S5 to replace it. Not too many pics because it was never washed at all, so here it is after just a wash, clay, and a spray on sealant. I will update this thread as I will go back over it with Essence and Cquartz when I find the time. I did...

    Interest in cars with the younger generation, what happened?

    I really don't have a good answer to the question simply because I am that younger generation and I do have an interest in cars. As a kid I always had an interest in cars, I have always worked at a car dealership (still do, but only part time; it's not my main source of income, but I love cars...

    Will a ceramic coating hold up to Midwest winter?

    I had Cquartz on my Civic and never washed it in the winter. After 2 winters, it was still holding up fine.

    Black Audi A6

    This A6 is a 2017 but hasn't been clayed, polished, etc. for almost a year. Its first 8 months was spent just sitting on a dealer lot. Today I just worked on the hood mostly because the rest of the car really isn't too bad and I also wanted to try out some new to me products. First I washed...

    Yep, I sprayed water through the sprayer after and then just put the original top back on the cleaner leaving the sprayer out. The directions do say to rinse it thoroughly after use.

    Poorboys World Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner

    I haven't cleaned the wheels on my A3 for probably close to somewhere between 600-1000 miles (don't really know, but a fairly long time). Anyway here is the before. And the after with no agitation at all and only using a garden hose. Overall, an excellent product. The amount gone is...

    Maintaining Cquartz

    It's a coating, you shouldn't have to do anything special to maintain it. I had it on my car for 18 months (traded the car in) and it was still performing like new despite doing absolutely nothing special to it and leaving it caked in road salt for months.
