ahaydock Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Me and my mate did his Orange Audi Coupe a few months and the weather was bad so we just gave it a quick going over and had planned to do the works but haven’t got round to it so I though I would post up what we have already done. As you can see it’s a rare colour and I believe there are not that many like this in the country. Its also up for sale so PM if your are interested. Any way the process was as follows: 1. My mate washed it. 2. Soaked with the Gilly using AB SSF and Megs APC. 3. Clayed with Sonus Green and Megs LT as a lube. 4. Soaked again with AB SSF and rinsed. 5. Dried with Sonus Ultimate and Megs LT. 6. Then treated with Zym0l Cleaner Wax. 7. Finally waxed with Dodo Banana Amour. 8. Exhaust with AG Metal Cleaner. 9. Wheels with PB’s Wheel Sealant. 10. Tyres with Megs Endurance Gel. 11. Trim with AG Bumper Care. 12. Glass with AG Glass Polish. 13. Interior with Megs APC and PB Natural Look Dressing. 14. Vacuumed with Dyson and Car Cleaning Kit. Had I known we would have had time to Wax it I would have used AG SRP instead of the Zym0l but I thought the weather would only allow one quick application. Anyway here is a before: Now the exterior afters (not the best pics as the light was bad): Cleaning: The clay: Exhaust before: Exhaust after (needs more work): Interior before and afters: It's not what you think it is...

steelwind101 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nice work! The Zymol cleaner wax really leaves a nice finish, much better then most cleaner waxes. A great base for a quality wax. What products were you using on the wheels and tyres? Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For cleaning the tyres and wheels it was Megs APC 4:1, then treated with Megs Endurance and PBs Wheel Sealant respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I love these - I was working at Audi when these cars with t he lifestyle colours appeared - they had just outside reception Orange, Yellow, Pink and Duck egg blue ones - looked fab Just remembered i've got an old Blaupunkt head unit that I am sure might have originally been from one of these.

shao_khan Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) I think (and I could be wrong here) but there was a green at one of the driver shows at Silverstone at the time. Another fab colour. Orange is my fav colour tho..... Edited October 18, 2009 by shao_khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
