scratcher Report post Posted Sunday at 07:46 PM This MK2 Audi TT came in for some TLC after the owner noticed swirls and bits appearing after washing the car. The owner picked the car up before Christmas and all looked well. As the filler polished faded away the true finish became evident. The car is finished in Deep Sea Blue - a colour I hadn't seen before. It's a fantastic pearlescent paint but was being robbed by swirls and scratches. Unfortunately, the bonnet had been painted fairly poorly - uneven mottled paint, strike through on the edges, stone chip dips and silicone traces - this was brought up as well as I could but will be repainted in the near future. The order of the detail. Wheels, tyres and arches cleaned. Full Auto Finesse safe wash process. Decontamination - tar removal, iron fallout removal, clay bar and IPA wipedown. Multi stage machine polish. ODK Revere wax applied to the paintwork. System X Glass applied to exterior glass. Interior cleaned and leather treated with Auto Finesse Hide. The car on arrival. 20190128_100252 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_100258 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_100310 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr Wheels cleaned with Imperial, followed by Iron Out. 20190128_102210 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr Avalanche snow foam softening the grime during the pre-wash stage. 20190128_103701 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_103743 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr After the two bucket method wash and chemical decontamination, the car was taken inside for clay bar treatment. 20190128_114313 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr The car was then prepared for machine polishing stages. Some before and afters from the cutting stages - still to be refined. 20190128_162306 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_165304 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_165545 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_170716 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190128_170748 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_100903 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_113504 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_120954 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_122434 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_122415 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_123208 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_124109 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_142229 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_143422 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190129_172447 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_092552 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_094726 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr Exhaust tips tidied up. 20190130_123308 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_123637 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr Leather seats cleaned and conditioned. 20190130_125835 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_130218 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_130239 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr The engine bay received a little freshen up. 20190130_130811 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr ODK Revere applied to the paintwork. 20190130_130315 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr And the finished result. 20190130_131043 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131223 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_130856 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131154 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131209 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_130939 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131114 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131148 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131120 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131107 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131004 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr 20190130_131053 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr Thanks for reading Richard. 20190130_131057 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
