Exterior before shots











Pre Wash - W99 - Iron X




This car was clean there were no iron deposits on it.
Rinse



Glass and Paint were clayed



Paint measured


The paint was a bit dull and we needed to bring the gloss back up and the metallic flakes to pop! We were able to achieve this by using Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna PO85RD. I have found that einszett Glanz Wax brings out the metallic flake on a properly prepped car.

Take a look at some of the 50/50 shots

Looks great! Love the reflection shot with the S4. Is that yours? Looks very nice as well.

How rare is it that a car has no iron deposits or very little?

When claying, do you spray any lubricant on the already wet car, or just use the water as lube?

Looks great!! W/ regards to the claybar, do you claybar at regular intervals i.e, every 6 months? or do you do it as an as needed basis? like the S4 for example

VQPower37

great work car looks awesome

detailersdomain

you can probably clay bar 1-2 times a year.

the rear of the car will possibly need claying more often.

detailersdomain

yup that's my s4. this was an 07 with 9k miles always garaged it shouldn't have much rail dust on it.

I still spray clay lube on the car for claying even if its wet.

When you claybar the glass -what do you use as a lubricant?

detailersdomain

nothing different from the paint.

optimum no rinse is what we use as clay lube.
