Red looks fantastic on this V8

Been looking forward to doing this car. I really like the S4 Avant in Misano.

This one has the Milltek exhaust which sounds fantastic and really allows the 4.2 V8 to breathe.

It belongs to JT on here. Caught a quick glimpse of his 997 Turbo too, very nice.

Having just bought the car JT knows about how badly people look after cars after I helped him with his M5.

This one is badly swirled and had the most water blade induced scratches of any car I've worked on :(

Paint correction sorted this out, so I thought I'd post some picks of the proces...

Swirls are hard to see in red by pic, but look at the blurring around the halogen lamps

Paint correction is done using a machine polisher. Using varying degrees of cutting pad and different cutting levels of polish I have to find the least abrasive combination that removes the defects. This way I am only removing the minimum of clearcoat and never reducing the paint finish to a level that could endanger the integrity of your cars finish.

Polished applied and ready for cutting....

I will spend about 5 minutes machine polishing a 18inch square section at a sufficient speed to build up enough heat to activate the cutting agents in the polish. Once the polish is broken down it begins to go translucent/clear and is ready to be removed with a microfibre

And the defects have been removed :tu

Then the Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied to remove any remnents of polish and lay the bonding agents for the Swissvax Divine wax.

Leaving the car looking rather special. I REALLY like this car in this colour.

i HATE swirls.

:wall

lol!
 
lovely car G..bit small, but good none the less..

if it doesnt work out, i'll be in touch!
 
manual.

mpg is a touch ott but doesnt do any miles so its incidental.

millteks are creamy (resonated catbacks), and the kit levels are great. bluetooth and disc changer going in tomorrow hopefully.

rns-e nav is excellent.

only real down side is room. four adults and child seat into s4 doesnt compute that well, but not a real regular occurence so we will see as they say.

am in no rush to make any real descisions, but will move for the right vehicle....whens that v12 diesel Q7 out?

am just glad the paintwork is now sorted!!
