My sons first detail. Only a few pics. Good car to start on...black with abused paint!!
 
Meguires g110v...had to replace it half way through. This was it's second car. Meg 105 on meg 8207 pad followed by optimum hyper polish on a 7207 pad. I was impressed with the way the hyper polish finished...then ULW
 
That's the mother of all scratches! (first photo)
Did you have to use touch up paint?
 
That is a massive improvement and one heck of a first detail.
Nice job.

That one was fresh...no touch up paint. I was surprised when I went out there and he had it buffed out.
 
Great work by your son! I read your other thread and I'm sure those girls will like what they see :poke: lol
 
I am also younger and into the car hobby, Its a good skill to know when you get older and see that all men like to take care of their vehicles lol

Well not ALL men. lol I came across quite a few over the years in the tire business that I don't think could check their oil. Cars are a great hobby though!! Trying to get a project car for my son and I to restore. One of my neighbors has a '70 Chevelle I'm trying to talk him out of. What kind of tires did you end up getting?
 
My 2006 Audi S4 that I picked up a few weeks ago is in about the same situation. Black with neglected paint. I've been stalking the forums the last few days learning and planning my attack. Hopefully I can get similar results out of my car. Good job

I was really impressed with the hyper polish. I think the spray is great to use as well. I wish I would have ordered the hyper compound. The 105 did great...but in the heat down here the hyper seemed to stay workable longer. I'm sure yours will turn out great.
 
Good job. :props:
You and Sonny ought to be commended.
If you are considering the Hyper Compound, consider the MF pad also.
 
Dave, I actually went with the mxv4 215/55/r16 tire. Even though they are expensive, they are almost the best. I am going to buy some gumout and pour that in on my next fillup to clean out everything and raise fuel mpg
 
Yes I would say they are the best for a nice ride, quiet, long mileage, and traction. or luxury performance. All tires have gone up. I was in the business for 28 years and in that entire time they may have gone up 10%. In the last 5 years they have gone up about 40%
