Did Audi conveniently install underbody trays under the engine so you can't see the oil leaks?

Yup, I took the underbody tray off so I could monitor the leaks. Me wants to think they did this on purpose

Here's the rest of the pictures.

Props to Jin for great service and a great quality product. It's not rocket science why his business is booming

Seriously, it kept getting closer and closer throughout the day and even followed me on the way home.

You're certainly not wrong.

If a car needs a buffing, it's definitely the S2k. You're more than welcome to come out here and do them for free ... lmk.

If I were close I'd totally come over and help a brother detail. Claying and cut/buffing is therapeutic!

I think it would look really good if the boost gauge mounting base was done in suede too...

that's too long of a drive for that piece!

ship it!

The blue car could use some white pad love...maybe more...but I refuse. Honda paint is too thin...I'm not shaving ANY clear off...just preserving what's there.

If you're worried about depth just go get it measured before you start. Voila! My local 'auto spa' place does that on this sick diagram for a small fee.

Don't cut, just polish. If nothing, it removes the layer of oxidized paint on top without much material removal.

oxidized paint on top? Last I checked, it is clear coat on top... And it shouldn't oxidize.

Thanks. I started with zaino, went to da, went to rotary...
I'm pretty much a badass. When I say no cut I mean ZERO material removal. The car isn't a show car and with a good coat of polymer, she looks damn good with your eyes closed, at night and going 100 mph.

I have a layer of dull oxidized finish on my Accord.

I know the paint is still shiny underneath and i have tried to use clay bar and removed a lot of it but it came back after a few months.

i prefer draino. It gives me the buzz I need, while ensuring I get to repaint my hood every 6 weeks, after it eats through the paint. I'm thinking I'll just start wrapping my hood in fake CF from now on.

You sure it's the car that's the attention getter and not the driver?
