Liked the way this turned out. Nice work, and nice attention to detail.

Didn't look like the interior carpet was too bad, which is good.

omg..... i wannna be able to do that so bad............

need to do it to my audi... i bet it'll look brand new...

but i won't be as near as good as u...

Well, it does take a lot of patience and time. When I just started, I wasn't getting results I wanted but I kept it steady and calm and did best, and from time to time, from car to car I got better.

Still when I was doing this detail, the clear coat was very hard and took me a while to figure it out as in which products to use and what pad and work technique.

dude seriously ill take a trip to PA for u to detail my car and my fathers 09 audi a4.....what you think?


Well, I had couple people that came like 1 hour from here to do a detail. But they left the car for 2-4 days, as it depends how bad it is and since I am in college it takes longer.

During summer it takes me 1.5 days max.

So it is up to you, meaning if you can leave the car for couple days, that is fine with me, you can come :)

thanks good find

your welcome!

Water etching is the worst. I have that on my mom's highlander, and it was a pain in the butt to get rid of but some of them were soo deep into the clear coat that sanding was required.

and Thank you!

Thank you.

Yes, carpet wasn't bad at all, I just did a good vac, but usually I clean it with a brush if there are stains.

That reflection is so sick.. I wish my black accord could look this good!

Thank you.

Come, and your accord will look the same :)

If there are stains in the carpet what cleaner do you use with the brush?

I use APC+ with either 4:1 or 10:1 dilution, depending on the stains. I spray it, let it agitate for 20-30 seconds then rub it with the brush and then use damp towel to wipe off dirt (because everything is lifted up) and then vacuum to give fresh look.

Ah ok, good to know, I have a stain from some type of spilled food that I would like to try and get out.
