    Northwest Detailer..

    The car will come in a sorry state but for me, the prep involved in removing some adhesive and transit grime is nothing like some of the recent horror stories I've seen post dealer prep - not necessarily Audi I would add though. An initial wax strip and full car DA to cut through any remaining...

    Lighting pack help

    Yes, i must admit im a little disappointed with it for the money. I've found the ones under the external handles do work now and are obviously light sensitive working when the car recognises its dark. The ones in the internal handles are rubbish though, you can see them but barely and again...

    Big guns are coming out! Shame but if it's never been done before you picked it up which guessing from the pad it hasn't its always going to be that little bit more difficult. Hopefully it works a treat, looks good in the pics anyway :)

    What pad type are you using and colour? An orange pad with compound should be enough even on german paint to get 95%+ as long as it's not down to metal...

    Confused over final stages.

    No problem. I plug autobrite quite a bit but im totally impartial, it's just 90% of my own products are autobrite and thoroughly recommend them for doing an amazing job, for me the only real missing product is something akin to CQUK or C1 etc. I can't comment really on the poorboys as i've...

    Confused over final stages.

    Hey The above method is quite a way there but just to put in my ten penneth on the process. If you're buying new and the dealership will be prepping you'll need to start by stripping their products. I'm due to collect my motor friday and have requested they skip exterior prep. So the following...

    Polish suggestions

    Good stuff, should come up well. You'll know yourself but if it's heavy tar which i doubt for the age but just in case you may want to try something like autobrite 'just the tonic' pre clay.

    Audi a6 badge size help

    Will reply to that last message here, sorry i forgot i was posting on your own car thread! I'm getting the black edition so tempted to go gloss black to match with the gloss outer edge. My mate has a 54 pre-facelift black edition and he measured it 29cm but all i can see is 285mm so assume that...

    Audi a6 badge size help

    Ah i forget, you had the front badge with the grill. This is the one im stuggling with in particular. Managed to get the sides and the rear is less of a concern with it being adhesive, it's just making sure i get the correct lugs on the front. Thought i'd found one but apparently ebay says it...
