Inspection..
As always, I started with the wheels. AutoSmart G101, various brushes and mitts to reach through the spokes to clean the rim/hub and caliper..
After a thorough soaking, ValetPRO SnowFoam applied and allowed to dwell for a few minutes..
whilst I dealt with the finicky areas:
Washed Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild and a Lambswool mitt.
I wasnt expecting much pick-up from the claying stages.. To touch, the car was generally quite smooth and appeared contaminant free.
Clay bar before:
Clay bar after boot lid and N/S doors if I remember correctly (only as far down as the bump-strips at this stage..)
^more than I expected after all.
Lower-doors, boot and the bumpers were the worst areas..
After I clay one/two panels, I will often rinse the area to rid of the lube residues.. This usually leads to ample amounts of standing water.
Now, rather than lapping it up with a drying towel, allow free-flowing water to sheet over the panel.
This, as seen, makes life much easier when drying as there is now very little stood water (and also minimises the chance of marring the paint)
Remaining water on the car was picked with a mf drying towel and then crevices/wheels/gaps/mesh blown with the Black Baron.
This is an amazing bit of kit! Where Id usually end up cursing water that drips down from the window join or petrol filler, its completely eliminated. No more smears when polishing, waxing or buffing!
One clean, dry RS4. Looks stunning already!
Once inside, Lusso Revitalizing Cream was worked into the paint via DA and a 3M finishing pad with a blob of Red Moose Glaze to add some depth to the red paint.
