Uberwax - Audi RS2 Amethyst Pearl
« on: December 07, 2009, 10:20:50 pm »
Hiya guys I had this tern up on me last weekend.

First up some to show the condition of the car prior to touching it:













Okay first up was the wheels, a quick rinse followed by the following:













And the finished wheel:



This process was completed on each wheel. A the car was pretty filthy i used a citrus snow foam pull the dirt off and whilst it was dripping i did the small cleaning jobs:

























And now car with most of the foam dripped off:



Car was then washed with teh two bucket method:





Car was then clayed and i couldnt beleive how bar it was the following pic shows it with just half the bonnet done:





Car was then snowed again to remove anything left over from the claying:



and then dried:



Here is a shot to show the car after the washing stage:



Car was then pulled inside, tapped up and polished up with menzerna power gloss and meguairs 205, here are the pics after the swirl removal:















The polishing was followed up by two coats of Danase Wet Glaze and some Dodo Juice Purpel Haze Pro to last a little while as well as its give that great look:













Didnt finish till after it had gone dark, so pics were taken the next day.

As the owner had to go out last night the car was a little dirty so here are initial shots when i arrived:





Car was rinsed, and the washed usual manor of two bucet method. Here are some pics before drying:







Then i added a layer of Z8:





I took the brickmann along to get some pics:









And here are the finished pics:



























unfortunatley the sun was going down in the last pics but pretty happy with them :)

Pomme, that's a great job you've done on that. big thumbs up from me!

Get some 50/50s next time.

It's so much more rewarding to work on a car with little to no orange peel like this audi!
