Hi guys, not posted on there foe ages as i have been real busy detailing loads of nice marques. AA friend of mine asked if i could do any thing with his tried looking red paint on this Audi 80 avant

So i got busy, firstly washing and Zymol klay-bar treatment

Machined using a light cut menzarna, constantly washing the mop head to remove contamination.

After machining was complete i cleaned the panel with Zymol HD-Cleanse this insures the wax will bond to the paintwork .

Then i applied the Zymol rouge wax, this has a red dye and also as with all zymol waxes as a real good U.V. protection

Finally a coat of Zymol field glaze to lift any traces of left over wax.

Its not finished yet still got roof and nearside to complete. The pictures where taken over to evenings, its taken around 6 hours to do the bonnet off side and tailgate.
