Been a while since I posted some of the work I do...

2001 Audi A4, not waxed in long, long time. Got some NCC love.

Before's

















Some of the products used....



Some 50/50 shots of the paint correction

---

All done and shined up























Final inspection being done by the boss.

Looks like you had your work cut out for you on this one. How long did this one take? Finished product looks amazing.

1.5 days, 1 day for paint chip repair, paint compounding and waxing, another 1/2 day for the interior, engine bay, and final touch ups.

I dunno....12-16 hours...hard to say, not looking at the clock. Start at 8AM, finish around 10PM but take lots of breaks, play with my son, etc....I always ask that I have the car for 2 days that way I'm not rushed.

Awesome turnout, you do great work! How do you like the shining monkey products? Have you ever used anything other than their fabric protector? I saw the line at Part Source, hadn't seen it prior though so I didn't think much of it.

You do great work. If you were closer I would have three cars a year for you. can't seem to get someone good to get the swirls out of the Zephyr. They just fill in after waxing but reappear 30 days later after a few washes and rain.

Never used any other products, this stuff is good at protecting leather, and convertible tops. I usually use 303 fabric guard for fabric

Probably using glazes instead of doing a proper compounding. I use glazes on my own vehicles before shows and such (or for customers looking for a shortcut aka less $$$). Quick and dirty way to hide small scratches and swirls. Nothing permanent tho, like you said - washes out after a few hand washes.

Nice work.
Good price too.
Especially when you enjoy doing it.
I used to LOVE detailing my cars.

hard to find something more satisfying than seeing your ride looking like the day it came off the showroom floor ^_^

A little late to this thread, but awesome job Flo ... and that "after" shot of the engine bay looks like it's straight out of an Audi brochure - simply fantastic.
