    My new (to me) 2010 Audi S4, Prestige! :) Come join me through this journey...

    Sooo...I tried to knock it out this past weekend. I gave her a wash...but when I brought her out in the light to do an inspection of the paint after FG400 and Megs MF pad from last week...the whole paint looked like this. I did a test portion on the door using the 4500 and a the white foam pad...

    Help!!! Are these Holograms in my paint (2010 Audi S4)? Used FG400 and G21 w/MEGs MF Pad

    Do you mean the 4500? I only have that, not 4000. I used 3 MF pads for the whole car but kept them clean as I could with my compressor/compressed air. For the 4500, my pad options are these two. Or should I use a thicker pad? Have those too. And here's a pic today, outside. I see the...

    Help!!! Are these Holograms in my paint (2010 Audi S4)? Used FG400 and G21 w/MEGs MF Pad

    Hey Guys, actually have another thread in the show n shine thread. Originally just bought a 2010 Audi S4 prestige black on black with not too many miles. Was planning a full-detail to go from the never touched outside of washed and hand waxed outside to getting the paint as close to new as...

    Soooo... I just finished the car today and just went through wtih FG400. The paint is SOOOO hard. Had to do a lot more passes than I imagined from a test spot I did last week. And it did NOT finish LSP ready but that was half to be expected. May do it tomorrow... but it may rain. If I don't...

    Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 400 Question

    Thanks for that input!! I actually have the old FG400, and was using that...but have a new bottle sitting waiting to open up. I may just use that since as you put it, is an updated formula! Had no idea. Just thought it was a label change. Thanks again for all your input.

    Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 400 Question

    Good thread!! Will be using FG400 on my black 2010 Audi S4. Noticed a 'haze' on the test spot I did last weekend. Going to try on the last pass with my G21 with 5inch backing plate and Meg MF cutting pad...going over the last pass or two with 'light' pressure and see if it finishes off...

    I did a quick search and found someone suggesting to use magic eraser but to do it very softly cause it could eat through the coating.... :/

    Yea...not sure. I may even end up repainting the bumper. It's got other scratches and stuff. Yea!! I thnk it is, actually. The owner had a dog, and now that you mention it...it probably is. So does that mean I am kind of screwed on that? :( Thanks! Yea--another reason why I bought it. The...

    AutoScrub NanoSkin Medium Grade Wash Mitt: Is this normal?

    Try to work things out with Amazon. I had a defective Autoscrub pad which Nanoskin NEVER got back to me on replacing--their words--"a defective pad from our bunch". They have the crappiest customers service and because of it I am never buying any of their products again.
