Here is a 2010 Audi A4 Sline, the customer requested the dealer not to prep the car. The dealer only took off the white film and packaging from Audi. We had a great surface to work with all that was required was to degrease some of the spots from the normal driving, a good claying, 1 step polish with Menzerna PO85RD and finally Collinite Insulator Wax with Swissvax Divine to top it.

As well as a new car prep the customer requested that we install a 3M PPF (custom cut) on his bumper, partial hood and fender, and mirrors.

Enjoy.

Excellent writeup. How do you guys prevent scratches to the PPF using the plastic squeegy? The 3M PPF on my car does not correct very well.

tons of water and soap on the 3m or any ppf.

I don't think any of the films correct very well. I agree with you 100%.

Very nice...I love the new A4 and I'm thinking it will probably be my next car...2.0T Prestige 6-MT in Phantom Black Metallic.

that looks great. If only there was a true detailer in RI instead of hacks buffing on a coat of wax and calling it a detail.

Phil, that is outstanding! I love the look of a freshly cleaned red car-they stand out so much! I had a red Chrysler Sebring convertible that I absolutely loved. I enjoyed keeping it clean because it looked so damn good when it was shined up.

I've never seen PPF applied before-cool pics.....
