Hey amazing detail job!,

Looks like you had some pretty bad swirl marks prior to the detailing work.  40+ hours, thats a labour of love..........and it shows!  really really good job!  how much and where is he based?

I remember having my A4 cab detailed a two weeks before I sold it, I swear it looked so good I found it hard to let it go.  Never looked back since though!

so super soft mit, grit catcher, pre foam wash, dipping on each wipe from now on then?

BTW pescaras look A M A Z I NG !

having the lips polished up then laquered, rather than a full refurb because the paint quality is hard too match, and hate bad refurb jobs. Will give a diffrent look to the stock wheels as well

Would also defo  like to see pics when you have the lips polished as I was thinking of same. Have 3 out of 4 pescaras with kerbed lips but rest of the rims are perfect. Seems a shame to refurb the whole wheel as I really like the OEM finish.
