Polished Bliss Vs White Audi A3 S-Line + Vintage

This was the latest Zymol detail, a 2.0T A3 which belongs to a member of Detailing World.

The car itself has always been pretty clean from when Simon's had it from new but when looked at closely you could see random scratches and cow-webbing. This i'm sure is not down to Simons fault as i remember looking at it last summer when i did his mums TT and remembered thinking it was poor dealer prep...

Anyways, i tried for 5 or 10 mins to try and capture shots of the defects but i wasnt having much luck with the glare off the white paint, but they eventually polished out with the usual finishing polishes (some areas needed 2 attempts to get spot on) and the Rotary@1700rpm

This was followed by HD Cleansing of the paint and windows (inside and out) then hand application of the Vintage.

So on to the after pics, which i was lucky to get as the snow has been drifting on and off every 2 mins today, as were the clouds which is why some pics are darker than others (and also due to the fact i was learning how to use my new camera, many thanks to AlanW for that:thumb

I'm now off to rest my eyes after the "snow blindness" i was continually getting from working on this car

Thanks for looking :thumb:

yup, 12 hours, just under 10 hours to machine polish it alone

how hard do you wash your car?

I see people using the two bucket method, foam guns, grit guards etc but they still scrub the hell out of their paint when they wash with their mit. your hand should glide effortlessly over the car, and you should make sure your lambswool mitt is in good condition at all times and thoroughly clean


after a while you will get wash marring or very light swirls which cant really be avoided
