Audi A4 Detailing Part 1

~ Mark Fraser

Here’s a quick detail of a 2008 Audi A4 that is in very nice shape for its age. It had been polished in a previous detailing last year and only needed a good wash and decontamination topped off with a good paint sealant.

The exhaust tips were really dirty. Some P21S polishing soap will fix that.
The wheels were particularly dirty and likely had not been cleaned since they were installed in the spring.
A nice foam bath will help clean every surface.
After washing, the car was sprayed with Iron X to dissolve tiny iron particles on the paint and then cleaned with a clay bar to remove contamination from the paint.
After some work with the P21S polishing soap, the left exhaust tip looks much better.
Looking like new again.

Very happy with the results and part 2 will cover the interior detailing.
