After owning my S4 for about a month I decided it was time to focus on the protection it deserves. The interior leather and dash was in need of some hydration and the paint needed to be clayed, polished and sealed.
My car is parked in a very dusty environment at work, so it always has contaminants on the surface.

First Up: Cleaning the wheels.

Next it is time for a bath.

The interior need some hydration and after some light cleaning the Wolfgang leather conditioner did just that. This is the nicest leather conditioner I have used to date.

For the paint polish and protection I went with the Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer and the Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. Both products were easy to work with and left a beautiful deep shine. Both were applied with a Porter Cable 7336 D/A using the Lake Country Hydro-Tech 5.5" low profile pads. I used the Tangerine Pad for the polish and the Crimson pad for the WGDPS.

I used the DP Gloss Tire dressing. This product makes the rubber look very nice, but not too shiny and it goes on very evenly without excess moisture.

The end result is fantastic and the paint has a depth and gloss to it that was not present prior to the application of the Wolfgang products.

Here is a shot of some of the products used.

Good stuff! I forgot that they went Supercharger on those, how you liking the new ride so far?

So far I am loving the car. The only thing that needs some modification is the exhaust as it has no real tone to it. Fortunately there are many solutions available to address this.
 
I think you did an awesome job on S4!

The product's you used are the same ones I have with one exception; the Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Cleaner.

I've heard several folks here say they try it but never really elaborate on it much. Care to help out a prospective buyer? :props:

Thanks in advance!

I received the Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Cleaner about two weeks ago.
I purchased it with this Kit:
Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Master Bundle

I had no expectations as I have always used another product that has worked very well. After trying it with a MF glass towel I have to say it works very good. It cleans very well and does not streak and seems to take little effort to do the job. I will definitely purchase this again when necessary.

I also did a little project On Black Friday prior to my S4.
My sister was staying with us for Thanksgiving and had a less than one week old 2011 VW Jetta.
This vehicle had zero protection on it, so I took care of her car too.
This time a wash, some DP Poli Coat and some DP Gloss tire dressing. The DP Poli coat is a very nice one step solution.

Excellent job on both cars! I haven't had the opportunity to try out the Diamondite Glass Cleaner either. I too have read several positive reviews on it, so maybe Santa will leave a bottle in my stocking this year. I used the Wolfgang Leather Conditioner on one of my details and the customer stated that it smelled like a brand new baseball glove and requested that I use it again on his 2nd vehicle. Again, excellent job on both vehicles.
 
Excellent work, both look very nice! Also, it looks like you have chosen some GREAT products to work with :props:
I love the rich leather smell of the WG leather conditioner:dblthumb2:
 
nice car! I really like the black/red leather with red stitching; the wheels have an interesting design, but they work with that car.
 
very nice! do you have any more pics of it further away showing the whole car? I am currently shopping for one and I'm torn between the exculsive paints sepang blue and daytona gray!
