Default Gleaming Kleen- Audi Rs4

First up was to wash wheels and arches
- tyres scrubbed with Megs SuperDegreaser and brush
- wheels cleaned with Valet pro Bilberry wheel cleaner and various brushes
- arches cleaned with brush and APC
- tyres dressed with SV Pneu
- wheels treated to cleaner fluid a coat of sv autobahn

Wash
- pre soak with citrus degreaser working into all badges and panel gaps with a sv brush
- wash with Megs Shampoo Plus
- lower panels sprayed and wiped with Tardis
- vehicle clayed with Poly Clay

Paint measurements were taken and showed some panels were resprayed with 300+ microns of paint and with some area's reading as low 80-90 microns

Some of the defects








After testing a few combo's I settled on 3M FCP and a Megs Cutting pad and it was taking 5-6 hits to get a decent level of correction so I knew then it was going to be a hard few days of work. After few hours went by and went to van to get another bottle of FCP and remembered I had a bottle of 105 and some wool pads I bought from the States so thought Id give this a proper go. Only area's that had plenty of paint were hit with this product with remaining area's hit with either 3.02 or


What can I say but this stuff is good, what was taking me 5-6 hits with the 3M FCP I was able to do with 1-2 hits with 105. After awhile I found the product to start gumming up so thought Id give it a go with a Megs pad and the results were still very good. I found you dont work this compound very long as it flashes very quickly and works better with the wool pads if applied to the paint rather than the pad. This was than refined with 106ff

50/50

vehicle was then jet washed down and given a IPA wipedown. Zaino AIO was applied via Megs G220 followed by Zaino CS

As always Jayplay love seeing your craftmanship, incredable turn around. I love the 50/50 shots

Sounds like quite the clear coat you were up against.

Thank you for sharing, vehicle looks great. It's odd, I never liked these types of vehicles (the shape I mean) but having a family of my own know I can understand why people would purhchase these vehicles
