I was asked to remove the £300 Supaguard sealant (about £30 for the dealer to buy!) from this 1-wk old sprint blue S3. The panels were to be machine polished with very fine Menzerna Final Finish polishes to remove the SG, tease out the gloss and to remove some very fine marring that was on every panel.
The car was nice and shiny but lacked a bit of depth and liquidity.
My mate was very fussy about the wheels and decided he wanted them off so I left that up to him. They were cleansed and sealed with JEFF'S Acrylic Prime all-in-one and given 3 further coats of acrylic sealant by means of JEFF'S Acrylic Trigger.
Tyres were dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant.
Pre-wax cleansing was Zymol HD Cleanse and final protection was the lush Zymol Glasur 57% Carnauba wax.
Car foamed, rinsed, clayed, rinsed, dried and taped up ready for the Makita.

A cracking car to work on.
Thanks for looking,
