Presidential Detailed: 2009 Audi TTS
I recently performed a paint correction on this brand new 2009 Audi TTS. Being that it was white, brand new and had less than 800 miles made it a bit tricky to find the defects in the paint. Since the car is pretty much brand new there werent too many surfaces scratches(swirls), but there were some RIDS(Random Isolated Deep Scratches) throughout the vehicle.
Decontamination Process:
Meguiars "Mild" Clay Bar with ONR as clay solution
Adams Metal Polish #2 on Exhaust Tips
Wheels:
Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax
Interior:
1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium
Meguairs APC+
Leather Masters Strong Cleaner
Leather Masters Vital
Vacuum
Invisible Glass Glass Cleaner
Engine Bay:
Meguiars APC+
Various Brushes
Zaino AIO On All Painted Surfaces
Paint Correction:
3M Automotive Performance "Green" Tape
M105/PFW via Makita Rotary
M205/Orange via Meguiars G110 DA
Zaino AIO On All Door Shuts
50/50 of 91% IPA/Distilled Water
Meguiars Supreme Shine MF Towels
LSP:
TWO coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant
TWO coats of Dodo Juice Hard Wax for White Vehicles(Owner Supplied)
On to the pictures already!
The owner had the car prepped for me before I arrived, so all I had to do was clay, polish, seal the vehicle.
The first thing I did was clay the car and then I taped off any edges and all the clearbra peices(a majority of the car).
I proceeded to wipe down the engine compartment(all that was needed on a car with less than 1k miles) and apply Zaino-AIO to any painted surfaces.
The defects were hard to capture using a camera, let alone my own eyes. So these were the best shots I could manage to capture.

The smaller areas were also corrected using a 4" PFW pad.
The taillights were also polished with M205/Orange pad.
This produced a very deep and rich reflection in the lights.
