Default Audi A5 stasis Paint Correction

Took about 10 or so hours because I had someone helping me so it cut the time in half

Started with a hand wash
clay
polish/wax oil remove wash
Surburf pad with meg's 105 compound
Black finishing pad with menzerna sf4000 polish

polish/wax oil remove wash
Blackfire wet diamond sealant
Chemical Guys 50/50 paste wax

wheels polished, sealed, and waxed.

trim polished
all carpets cleaned with a machine carpet cleaner
leather and plastics treated with sc-1

I totally forgot to take before swirl pictures, lets just say swirl city!

I forgot to actually. The tail light one was the only one I did. I normally start on the tail light and work my way around the car and I did one and forgot to do the rest or something

oh lol, but other than that, since it is a lighter color, it wouldnt have really showed, have you thought of using a pressure washer with a foam cannon?

It actually wouldn't, the lighter the colors the harder. Especially the charcoal grey it was. It was pretty hard for me to see them as is I don't even know if the camera would catch them.

No I don't wash or pressure wash. I might break out tires and wheels but other then that I don't use it.

I just put car soap and water in a bottle, spray on wipe off
