Dylan06SS Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I spent last week at our warehouse in Boulder Colorado. Went out for a few reasons, mainly to nail down the final version of our new aggressive polish/pad combo. More on that in a moment, but lets start this off the right way. A customer dropped this beauty off for us, we had detailed it a few weeks ago and now hes decided to sell it. Mario and I were handed the keys so it got a quick wash and cleanup then we enjoyed a jaunt up into the local hills (making sure to drive past the college ) then stopped at a nice turnout to snap pics for the listing. $150,000 and shes all yours Edited October 26, 2010 by Dylan06SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Now onto the product testing. This car was never gonna win any beauty contest... 27k miles of pretty much no love / no wax in nasty colorado winters and this thing was simply hammered. Great subject to put the finalized version of Adam's Mean Green Polish thru its paces, finalize pad design, and verify the new product worked well with both the flex and the PC. So heres our subject *Warning - If you hate neglected cars you may want to look away now* Jose was kind enough to knock out a quick wash so we could get this thing inside and get down to testing. Adam took on the clay bar portion of our endeavor A couple of areas were designated for various testing purposes. Mario took first crack [ I took on a different variation on the hood Everyone got in on the testing and observations including our flex rep Once we had come to a final conclusion on product testing the car was then knocked out using the new GREEN>ORANGE>WHITE process and pulled outside for a final look. We weren't going for 100% correction simply b/c this car was a test mule, but we got it to about 85%. The heavy key marks and pitting were beyond even saving with wet sanding. After correction the car got a coat of Americana, the glass was hit with Brilliant Glaze, and the interior got a vacuum, clean, and conditioning. Jose threw down a generous helping of Super VRT on the tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 That's probably the best that Audi's ever looked. Do you have any feedback on the Flex vs PC? Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 That's probably the best that Audi's ever looked. Do you have any feedback on the Flex vs PC? Mr. P. The flex is a great tool, but I don't so much view it as a replacement for the PC as I do a supplement to it. I've been using it for some time now and I still much prefer to finish down with my PC.... so I'll take on the heavier correction with the flex, the forced rotation allows for the use of more substantial abrasives, ones that the PC wouldn't be able to break down effectively. But when I get down to my last stage polishing and finish work I find the PC much better for the job. Then with the application of a product like our machine superwax where you need a low speed application the Flex is just too much... the force rotation doesn't lend itself well to 'applying' a product. So in those cases I'm still going gray foam on the PC also. IMO anyone serious about detailing should have both, but if you were to only have ONE tool the PC would be my choice.
