Default Gleaming Kleen: Audi S3

With being busy lately my other half has been moaning due to me spending a fair bit of time away over last few months. She had a day off from her 9-5 office job so I invited her to come and help me for the day which she agreed which I was glad as I had a driver and free labour for the day. As this saw a trip out to London we had to be on the road for 6 to make to clients for 7:30-8ish and honestly admit i was shocked she got up when I did at 5am as she doesnt like getting up before 7am

In the back of my mind I thought at some point she would start to moan as there is only so much she was able to do and would soon get bored as it was going to be a long day but once again she proved me wrong. After we finished that evening at 7:30 I asked here if she enjoyed the day and if she would do it again and she surprised me and said yes but only if there is abit more for her to do such as an interior as she thoroughly enjoyed it. She has never took a interest before in what I do and I was honestly shocked that she even agreed to come along and help but that she also enjoyed it.

So must say Thanks babe for your help!!



vehicle on arrival




On inspection even before washing it was very noticable that the car was covered in large dull patches which after a discussion with owner he admitted to using AG Paint Renovator to try and remove some off the bird etchings.

Wash
-Megs Shampoo Plus with ***** sponge
-Lower panels treated to tardis to remove any tar
-clayed using Sonus green and last touch as lube

Wheels & arches
-tyres and arches cleaned with megs super degreaser
-alloys cleaned with P21s wheel gel and various brushes
-Tardis applied to inner's to remove Tar
-SV cleaner fluid applied folowed by 2 coats of SV Autobahn wheel wax
-arches dressed with 303
-tyres dressed with Pneu

Exterior Potection
-IPA wipe down followed by 2 coats of zaino Z2 and a wipe down with Z8
-exteriors plastics treated with SV Pneu

Some of the defects










After trying several combos I found using a 3m cutting pad and 3.02 to work with some areas requiring 3m FCP at 2000 rpms. This was then refined with Menz 85rd on a megs finishing pad

50/50
