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.

yeah first we got the pre-cut kit, which the fitment sucked.

Now I have a 25ft uncut roll, but he has a few other projects that he is tackling first and I have less and less faith as each day goes by.

so much for trying to get it done "easier" frown.gif

It depends what you want pre cut or custom cut, how much coverage etc.

We keep cars for 2 days to make sure everything was properly installed.

Did you want the hood? mirrors? fenders? Bumpers?

What happens after a few years when the paint has faded and you could only wax the non-filmed part of the car. Will the paint have different shade?

depending on where the car sits it could be a little faded but you should be able to polish it back up.

This was a great job for us, a complete detail with 3M PPF install.

The subject was a BMW M3 that my customer just picked up, he wanted to get it cleaned up and protected from the elements, as well requested that we install 3M PPF on the Front Bumper and Side Skirts.

The car was not in bad shape at all the light scratches and swirls were not even noticed until we hit it up with a ton of different lighting. So minor we could not pick them up in pictures but they were there and it required 2 steps to pull them out. The metallic paint hid them extremely well.

Mission: to max out the shine via Menzerna SIP and PO85RD, give it some nice glow and shine with Swissvax Divine and make sure the car is prepped correctly for the 3M PPF install.

Products used:
Exterior:
Lusso AutoBathe
Uber Yellow Wash Sponge
Swissvax Yellow Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer
Einszett Spray Wax
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna PO85RD
Swissvax Divine

Wheels and tires:
Einszett Wheel Cleaner
Swissvax Wheel Brush
Uber Wheel Brush
Uber Spoke Brush
Swissvax Pneu
Swissvax Autobahn

Interior:
Einszett Deep Cleaner
Einszett Cockpit
Leather Master Strong Cleaner
Leather Master Vital Conditioner
Adam's Glass Cleaner

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Flex 3403
The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch)
[URL="http://www.detailersdomain.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=10"]Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels
Uber Drying Towels[/URL]
Brushes
Cam Spray and Cam Spray Foam Canon

So let's start with the interior, we did the typical once over, wipe down with Einszett Cockpit and treated the Leather with Leather Master Trio
