For folks that want to see Gunmetal RS4 wheels on a Dolphin Grey B6
Here are some quick pics of my car after it was detailed today. I think these wheel keep a nice low key look and maintains an OEM look at the sametime. The paint looks great in person and has a nice deep shine. 99% of swirls/spider webs were removed. Paint chips remain. :-(

it's normally a 3 step process to remove swirl marks
after a good wash and claybar
1. apply and remove a good pre-wax cleaner (removes oxidation, contiminants, etc)
2. apply and remove a good sealer/glaze (this is the stuff that hides swirls)
3. apply and remove a good quality carnuba wax.
I don't know that all of the swirl marks are truly removed more than they are made less noticeable with chemicals.

Detail info is inside:
1. washed
2. Clayed with the Blackfire grey clay and lube
3. Prima Swirl w/ Orange pad w/ Portercable (PC)
4. Einszett 1Z Lack Politour w/ Yellow pad w/ PC
5. Einszett 1Z Mettalic Polish w/ white pad w/ PC
6. Einszett 1Z Glanz w/ Black/grey pad and PC
All steps were removed with High Quality Micro Fiber towels. The Einszett products are easy to work with and have alot of oils/conditioners on them which works great on our paint. I included a link to Einszett<ul><li><a href="http://www.1z-usa.com/index.html">Einszett 1Z</a></li></ul>
