Black Audi A3 TDi

[Wells]

So, the saying is true, "once you go black, you wont go back!"

The car was dropped off early Friday morning, and it was nice and dirty, which is great to add to the feeling of having accomplished something.






I began by giving the rims, which although only 3 weeks old, had alot of brake dust evident, a once over with Sonax extreme, (which dulled the brake calipers as per Lambchops experience) followed by Rimwax, they were restored to their former beauty.

Before


No specific afters, still getting to grips with doing stuff and taking pics of stuff being done

Gave the car a wash with CG CWG next, nice strong mix to help strip old wax off, realise now that adding some APC would prob be a cheaper and more effective method.

Some light swirls and RIDs evident








I then blue taped, rather extensively.




An attempted 50/50 shot, with only on light in operation.


After polishing using Menz SIP & FA mix on Orange 3M pad, it was better, not 100%, but better.


Some afters and reflections (it was drizzling, so lighting sucked). Finished off with Petes 53 paste wax.














Man in the door (me).


Exhaust cleaned up nice, just with Megs All metal polish.


Thanks for looking.
