AudiOx Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Glad you guys liked it! There are many ways to detail a car properly. Ive been doing it for a long time, and have found what works the best for me(and the car). Yes its a boars hair brush with a grit guard, and rinsed many times during a wash. Cali blades are great for a properly washed/clayed vehicle to get the bulk of the water, followed by a blower. No need for a baggie either, thats what my bare hands are for:) Keep in mind these cars weren't trashed, and I chose them for the videos for that reason, and the end result was a swirl free finish;) AudiOx I should have done a time lapse of this one:) Beautiful turn-arounds/saves. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kustom_FX Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I was going to post the one of the blue RS4, but the camera angles were mostly too closeup for my tastes.I think having multiple cameras would be cool, but be user-selectable like: -time lapse of full detail -closeup time-lapse of the interior detail -all paint correction steps on a single panel including clay, sealant, wax, etc. Just thinking out loud. I can just see Dylan now.... Austin Martin DB8 8 Cameras all rolling simultaneously Perfect lighting Studio quality editing.. Sean Connery voice over narration!!

AudiOx Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I had similar questions. I put in a request to Adam's to offer a couple of these for marketing and educational purposes. I also thought it was a little fast, as you couldn't quite tell all the steps. Perhaps at 1/2 that speed would let you see the details enough without being too long. Plus there could be ones for: -interior only -non-correction exterior detail only -full-correction detail :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric@thompsonracing.us Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I had a hard time seeing him clay, looked like a California Wiper Blade (big no no). Either way, he def. didn't do the baggie test. Words right out of the Junkman's mouth: "you only do something for a reason." Claying for the sake of claying is worthless. You need to examine the paint and determine if it needs to be clayed. After claying, you need to examine again to determine if it needs more. I hate make such a big point of this, but claying is a big step! I think his video skills are good, but his technique needs work. Did he use a two bucket system? It was too fast for me to see one.

NHL2133 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 After watching it a few times, I think I saw him clay it. On either the M3 or Audi one he did it while the car was foamed I believe. You are right, he does clay it. He foams and rinses, foams then uses the brush, foams then clays, rinse and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icantdrive55 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks for posting. That was so entertaining. I also never thought of doing 3 foams with the hand wash on the last. I wonder if there is real benefit to doing that, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Thats awesome. I've thought about doing this before but never actually took the time to set it up. Maybe something to work on in the off-season coming up. So Cal doesn't have a off season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07RS4 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yeah, I like when he uses the brush in the bucket on the paint. You can see it more clearly when he details the Audi. Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's a boar's hair scrubbing brush. Many detailers use them. As long as you have a grit guard bucket, its the same theory as the wash mits or pads. I personally wouldn't do it, but I use the Trim/Lug boars hair on my paint, just like in the vids. They work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to think about.
