Client of mine upped his Audi game with this brand new A7. It is a heck of a machine!

Typical dealer installed swirls (DISO), holograms, a lot of water spotting, some marring, scuffs and medium grade scratches.

It’s getting a paint correction/coating and it will be protected for years to come as well as making maintenance a dream!

Correction was around 80-85%, which fits my client’s maintenance regiment just fine…unfortunately; this vehicle sees the local car wash for maintenance washes…



The ‘details’:

Washed with Adam’s Shampoo.
Clayed with Griot’s medium mitt.
Wheels/tires: Beta test wheel and tire/rubber cleaner AIO.
Wheels sealed with McKee’s37 Hydro Blue.
Dried via Master Blaster.
DeFelsko PTG.
Scangrip lighting.
Flex 3401.
Rupes iBrid.
Beta test wool pad.
Meg’s crimson foam pad.
Beta test compound.
Optimum paint prep for final wipe down.
Misc. MF towels.
SPS Graphene ceramic coating.
HD dress for tire dressing.
Metro vacuum.
Adam’s quick interior detailer.
McKee’s37 glass cleaner.

Thanks for looking!

Damn, that paint was hammered.

Awesome job on that, Scott. :)
 
Beautiful work! Maybe I didn't see it on other posts you have done, but you used the Flex 3401. That is my Go-to correcting and polishing machine. Do you use that as your main DA? Either way beautiful work! KEEP ON ROCKING!
 
Awesome work. Those wheels are starting to grow on me.
 
That is my favorite sedan. Love how that car looks!

And you prettied her up very nicely, too!
 
Thank you mk!

Kamakaz: I use the 3401 and my Rupes...decision will be made during test spot: what paint likes/hardness/etc.

I love all my machines! LOL
