Cool Polished Bliss: Audi S5 - Midnight Sun in the Morning Sun

I had not originally planned to write this detail up, but after 24 hours of hard graft over the weekend I was rewarded with soft sunlight this morning during the final wipe down, so out with the camera it was then! To cut a long story short; less than 500 miles on the clock, badly damaged from new by the Audi dealership, fresh from the bodyshop for minor correction. No major headache, but 24 hours needed in total to make it perfect; no compromises allowed. It was polished with Menzerna, and finally protected with the Blackfire twins at 1am this morning...































Thank you mother nature!

They managed to cut a line of paint off the wing with a pressure washer. Oh my god. At least our recommended bodyshop did a great job putting it right. I wish it was my new ride, but alas, it isn't - I just photoshopped my plate onto the image as it looked cack completely blanked out lol!

i hate car dealerships. the amount of people i tell to say to the dealership to leave the car, don't touch it, tell them to shove their £20 3 year protection product priced at £400 and yet they still entrust the dealership as they know best. any befores Rich? especially the ones with the paint damage from the pressure washer.

btw - got my stuff yesterday

Sadly not; the car went straight from Audi to the bodyshop, and I only saw it after the painting was done. Boo!
