Did a mini-detail on my wife’s A4 this weekend.

[AudiOx]

I say “mini” because I didn’t do any polishing/seal/wax, just wash/dry/dressed the interior and exterior.

It still took most of the day (~5hrs) since she’s not quite, ummm, as retentive as me. (Dylan, I'm not worthy ....rotary or not, 6:15 for correction and detail of that Accord.....geez)

The engine was cleaned and convertible top cleaned/sealed last time so they were in good shape.

Dern German brake dust!

 

 

White paint shows so much dirt, but is at least forgiving to showing scratches/swirls.

 

 

 

 

 

How long has THAT been there?

 

 

Wait, didn't I just clean all the stains off these about 6 weeks ago?

 

 

 

 

AFTER

 

If you have the means to get the carpet cleaner and stiff bristle brush, I highly recommend it!

 

 

I cleaned the engine a few weeks ago so a quick dust off and some In and Out, and Voila! My In and Out spray is WAY underutilized. This stuff is great.

 

 

Brake dust, be GONE!

 

 

In and Out spray doing it's thang again.

 

 

My heartrate is slowing down finally. Sphincter is loosening.

 

 

I must have spent 45 minutes on the exhaust tips. Whew! Notice that super VRT on the lower trim.

 

 

THAT'S more like it!

 

 

Considering it has tons of swirls, it still shines pretty well. Your time with the Flex will come soon enough.

 

 

Snazzy overhead shot

 

 

I just love this retaining wall for getting overhead pics!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading.

 

This project went WAY better than my failed attempt to get microscratches out of my A8's rear quarter.

Having a heck of a time getting this thing to format properly. It keeps cutting text out or changing font sizes, etc. Weird.

P.S.

I can't stand this non-Adams leather cleaner and conditioner I have (sounds like Why Maw?, but starts with a Z).

The cleaner does nothing and the conditioner is greasy, plus I'm not a big fan of the smell.

 

I have some Adam's stuff en route. Yay.

 

 

Just realized this write-up should've gone in the Detailer's write-ups forum. Hmmm, imagine that. Oops.
