Thumbs up Detailed my S4 today.

Process/Product Used:
1. Wash - Adam's Car Wash
2. Clay Bar - Adam's Clay Bar + Adam's Detail Spray
3. Polish - Adam's Polish
4. Wax - Adam's Butter Wax

**Used the Porter Cable on the hood only (I need very long extension cords for next time).

It took 2.5 hours to do all of this manually. It is very easy to apply and wipe off.

not much. just the 19" wheels, drop, and exhaust. there's not much to do with the S4 unlike the A4's.

the V8 emblems only come in the B7 body. my S4 is a B6 body (2005).

Looks good but you need some better angles for your pics to show it off!

thanks!! i just converted to this product.

here is a 1999 Miata I worked on a few weeks ago:

Process/Product Used:
1. Wash - Meguiars Car Wash
2. Clay Bar - Meguiars Clay Bar + Meguiars Detail Spray
3. Polish - Adam's Polish
4. Wax - Adam's Butter Wax
5. Interior - Adam's VRT
6. Engine - Adam's VRT and Adam's In and Out Spray

3Putt in action:


Before Pics:








After Pics:






Check out the dash/interior as well.


I decided not to degrease/rinse the entire engine since I did not want to risk the plugs getting wet. I just decided to touch up the plastic, hoses, wires, and covers.



Adam's products are awesome. It was very easy to apply and remove. The paint was given a second life. All the scratches/scruff marks were eliminated. Even the embedded debris in the lower half of the car was removed.
