Default Phantom Black A6 3.0TFSI detailed

The car was not that much in a bad shape, but you know the fun with black cars.

Menzerna SIP
Menzerna PO85RD
Jetseal 109
Pinnacle Souveran paste wax

Here's the only pic before (represents the whole car) Few swirls, just traces from regular wash and snowbrush.





wheels were cleaned, clayed and sealed with Poorboys's wheel sealant




Jetseal left to haze




Souveran applied












With the 2x500W lamps

gorgeous, I recall the trials of a black car (B7 S-Line Avant) in salty NE Ohio.

Question, how can an A6 with the TFSi engine need such attention already (i.e., how many days have you had the car? Like a week or 2?)

cheers

Car has been on the road since December'08 and it already have 6,000km.

It was the very first face-lifted A6 to be on the road. There was this one and a silver one for the Canadian Press. All the other one were delivered a month later.

The paint was in a really good condition. w/o the 2x500w lights, you could barely see any swirls or scratch. Most scratch were induced by the snow brush and wash. There was a lot of contaminants on the paint and claybar also left a few micro marring.

A lot of times, dealer "prep" details before delivery aren't the greatest.

You are right. The car looked great at delivery but there was some buffer trails in some areas that appeared a few weeks later. I suspect they simply put glaze on the car.

here's when we took delivery, with it's winter rollers on.

Looks good. PBP is not an easy color to keep looking like this!
