    Excuse the lack of pictures on this writeup, had some memory card trouble and could only recover some of the pictures. Customer was looking to spruce up his 2001 A4 in order to sell it. This car had seen improper washing its whole life so it had some very deep imperfections that would have needed wet sanding, which in the case was not an option due to budget.

    So to sum it up the following was done:
    -Wash
    -Clay
    -2 Step Polish Combo (Menz SIP via orange and yellow pads, followed by 85rd on green)
    -Paint was waxed with Lusso Oro
    -Windows were sealed
    -Cowl/Plastics and Tires were dressed

    Sonax Applied

    Sonax Rinsed Off

    Paint wasn't too visibly dirty

    Presoak with Citrus Shampoo

    After vehicle was washed, it was rinsed before being taken in to be dried and clayed

    Medium Clay bar picked up a good amount of contamination off the paint

    Under Halogens and LED lights, swirl marks were very visable

    Had to switch to yellow pad to get some of the deeper defects out
