Excuse the lack of pictures on this writeup, had some memory card trouble and could only recover some of the pictures. Customer was looking to spruce up his 2001 A4 in order to sell it. This car had seen improper washing its whole life so it had some very deep imperfections that would have needed wet sanding, which in the case was not an option due to budget.
So to sum it up the following was done:
-Wash
-Clay
-2 Step Polish Combo (Menz SIP via orange and yellow pads, followed by 85rd on green)
-Paint was waxed with Lusso Oro
-Windows were sealed
-Cowl/Plastics and Tires were dressed
Wheels
Sonax Applied
Sonax Rinsed Off
Paint wasn't too visibly dirty
Presoak with Citrus Shampoo
After vehicle was washed, it was rinsed before being taken in to be dried and clayed
Claying paintwork and exterior glass
Medium Clay bar picked up a good amount of contamination off the paint
Under Halogens and LED lights, swirl marks were very visable
First step of polishing was SIP with an Orange pad
50/50 shots of polished area
Had to switch to yellow pad to get some of the deeper defects out
Another 50/50 of the hood
50/50 of mirror
B pillars were polished in hopes of bringing some gloss back to them as well as getting some of the many scratches out

After:
Tailights were polished with PCXP, White Pad and Menz 106
Before:
After:
Cowl dressed 50/50 shot
After Shots:
