    End results look great. :thumb: I'm just curious on your wash procedure. Did you foam with the Citrus Wash, let it soak to strip the wax, rinse and then later wash with the Lusso after re-foaming with the MaxiSuds II? Also, what concentration of CW did you use in the foam gun canister? Thanks.

    Foam with Citrus to strip lsp's and all protectants, then a little home-made mixture of MaxiSuds and Lusso Auto Bathe, approx. 1oz combined to wash the dirt off

    Yeah man. This is my second audi this week to do, my family just got into an R8 and absolutely every car audi making now is just drop dead gorgeous. No complaints for any of their cars, including the questionable A7. I absolutely love every car in the lineup and I'm a bmw fanboy lol

    Thanks brotha!
