Title: Miglior Detailing Ltd: Audi S3 Enhancement Detail - T88OMM
Post by: JPC on April 20, 2010, 02:08:26 pm
Hi Everyone,

Straight into it... here’s a really dirty Audi S3 in need of some attention. It came into us for an Exterior Enhance & Protect Detail

Toms Car, if you hadnt noticed!

It has done a few hard laps around the Nurburgring as well as two skiing trips to the Alps. And a few donuts in a muddy field by the looks of things!!

The Car is running at around 360BHP for anyone who is interested! Blueflame Downpipe (100 cell Sports cat) 3" system all the way back. KMD fuel pump. Revo Stage 2+ ITG intake, the lot! Tom took me for a spin, and its quick! Capable of embarrassing a few E92 M3 Owners!

Anyway...lets crack on...Here are some before pictures

Door shuts looking equally nasty

Quite pushed for time on this one so not many "doing" pictures!

Tom said he has clayed to car, which he had. All he seemed to gain from doing this was plenty of marring as the car was PLASTERED with contaminants.
Some from the Nurburgring I guess too...

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F15.jpg&hash=3dbda7104eb3d27c3975cb157e405d81dcc14ef7)

So after my wash, as you can see the car got a good tardis rub down! Even so, the car needed nearly two hours solid claying!!

This was just from the rear window...

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F17.jpg&hash=09c7dce46bf91427f0625e4ebb27d537f001fc34)

That pretty special from a 09 reg car, from half the rear window!!

Anyways...carrying around the rest of the car!

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F18.jpg&hash=60d99e0f5604bd68e226974c5a8a9edb9f5dc863)

After I finished claying I had a good idea of what I was working with.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F20.jpg&hash=3cf6ba94c4a4e4cf6db45404e6257673533993a5)

Not too bad, so only a one pass machine polished. There was some marks left in, but this is an enhancement detail (http://"http://www.miglior.co.uk/services.hmtl"). The main aim being to get rid of all the marring, lots of it, and bring out the gloss and depth! We certainly did that!

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F23.jpg&hash=87b7796f33a5f40dcda04659252584bb8d63eee5)

After finding a combo to work with which removed marring, yet I could finish down with I cracked on!
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro Used! ;)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F24.jpg&hash=06a7abd939c5ce0172013719d9984e7d81af1d58)

Looking sharp! ;)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F27.jpg&hash=5fbf9679d72f7e0dadb011536b592fbc56800fc7)

Much better!

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F28.jpg&hash=df32524ec25e5f417d80f093352f76c76116cf32)

Now all the polishing had been down, it was time to tidy up and get the unit straight. Then it was on to Waxing. I used Two Coats of Swissvax Best of Show.
Every time I use BOS on Sprint blue it makes me want to paint my car sprint blue!! It looked gorgeous!

Now, once the first coat was curing I set about the windows!

I asked Tom if he had every cleaned the windows, he said he never had! 25K miles! Nice!

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F31.jpg&hash=b8676995f9ee8f221369d2b3132723578f6ca9af)

After half of the inside windscreen!

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miglior.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fdetailed%2F515%2Fresize%2F32.jpg&hash=615ef5c6bbe1be25338964991c5af7533e15f027)

The wheels were cleaned and sealed with SV Autobahn. Tyres Done with Pneu.

Enjoy the Afters.
