N8 v Jordans A3 S-Line 170

[N8]

After Jordan's long wait to get his wheels, his car was finally ready for a detail! So after a long morning of running round and sorting out various issues, we were ready to roll, here is how his car looked from the start, rather sorry for itself!

There was no outside power point, so we had to run the 45m extension cable from his window.

Here were the new rims, waiting to go on, after we had the tyres fitted!

The arches were cleaned, the tyres were sealed and it was looking 1 million times better already:

Next the car was snow foamed:

The colour of the rims was absolutley stunning, and just kept changing colour all the time!

Washed the car via the usual 2BM:

Clayed with Sonus, car was pretty contaminated, here was a lighter example:

With it all dried, I used Jeffs Werkstat Acrylic Kit:

With finishing off all the little bits, here are some finishing shots:

 

[N8]

Jordan and I were very happy with the reflections:

Looking stunning at night:

The remaining pics were from GTI festival yesterday:

There you have it! Here are my favourite 2 pictures.

Great stuff, very very good reflections. No correction, just protection I assume?

edit; that wasn't a deliberate rhyme!

 

[N8]

He's having correction next time!

 

[JD09]

From the limited direct light shots, wouldn't suggest the paint work looks that hazey anyway.

Good job, well done

 

[NHN]

Loving it Nate, save your best for me me old sheepy shaggeroo mate lmfao

 

[smudge_don]

Thanks again N8, absolute top class work by this man!!!

He even started on the interior for me.........at 8.30pm

Car looks a million times better and i can't wait to get a full correction done!

Thanks again bud, welcome to my place anytime!

[NHN]

Oh no, he's converted you to his religion, any sheep in your back seat aswell then?

 

[Sarah's A3]

Cracking work N8, car looks stunning!

How long was spent on it?

Not as long as we'd wanted due to lack of water and having to feck about with the wheels and tyres in the morning

Plan was to start at 9am, and get a mate to pick me up to take the wheels to get tyres fitted

He failed to show, so me and N8 had to go and get them done, work started properly at about 1pm

All credit to him, it got dark when we finished, and he started on the interior at 8.30pm!!!

Top class result though all the same :icon_thumright:
Need mine doing too, have a few chips in the front inside wing though, would also need correction. Having said that I suppose a good old proper clean / polish would enhance it a lot.

 

[Jimmeh]

Very good work fellas - car looks looads better.

N8, how many layers of JETT Trigger?

Only problem with cleaning mine to this degree, i can now see ALL the stonechips and dents in the bonnet from them

When i get my S3 front bumper, i'm getting the bumper, bonnet and both wings sprayed so they're nice and fresh as well as matching

No doubt my drive home from the bodyshop will result in a new stonechip

After a good N8 Detail you advise him to get one of those, what can only be described as fecking awfullly hideous things on the front of his car, you should be shot for even the thought process lmfao

In my defence, Jordan was on about stone chips on his way back from bodyshop after having S3 front end fitted. Nothing to do with N8 work :icon_thumright:

 

[NHN]

Usually when someone writes "LMFAO" it denotes a joke, so no need to be defensive is there!

Still, those Bonnet Bra's are absolutely fecking **** & in all honesty if you have one on your car, IMHO you need Sectioning, "LMFAO"

Oh I dunno, on some cars (ahem!) it can be the only descent part lol! (hope theres no nissan owners on here lol)

Just a figure of speech.

was just a suggestion to save the newly sprayed S3 front end after just been done didn't realised it would cause WW3!

Note to self: Never mention bo**et Bras on ASN :Flush:

LMFAO, yeah I have nightmares of seeing a Nissan Sunny with a bonnet bra on, I mean stone chips do it a favour, makes it look like it has metallic paint lmfao

Mention what you like fella, doesnt mean people will agree with you, thats the whole point of a forum, to express opinions & POV's as we both are.

As for WW3, if you'd seen some of the threads on here it would be WW100000000 by now lmfao, this is childs play compared to some unfortunately.

 

[N8]

Thanks for all the comments and banter guys.

 

[JD09]

I'm sure there is a joke to be made in here somewhere about bras and the signature photo . . .

 

[A3Tom]

Top work

Those wheels are the pups though they looked awesome on Sunday, really individual

 

[Gops]

Wow looks great!! I want to use the werkstat kit on my car! (As im new to the detailing scene) what order did you apply then?

 

[N8]

Prime then Trigger lad.

 

[Gops]

Sound as a pound! will give it a try :icon_thumright:

 

[N8]

No worries lad.

 

[Hunty]

Looks awesome boys, the acrylic set really delivers on shine and reflection!!! Noticed the federal tyres buddy, got 2 of them on my car and they're complete poo! How are you finding them? you can have 2 more if you get on with them ok!
