Default Detailer's Domain: Audi TT/Swissvax Divine

This was a detail that I tried to book with an Audiworld member 2 1/2 years ago but we just never could get a date.

Anyway this car needed some TLC. Tons of swirls and light scratches as this is the customer's daily driver and unfortunately it sits outside 365 days a year.

So we cleaned it up with Menzerna Power Gloss compound with an orange ccs pad followed it with Menzerna SIP with a white pad and then finished with Menzerna PO85RD with a blue pad. For our last step we used Swissvax cleaner fluid to prep the paint for Swissvax Divine.

Tools and products used:
Take a look:

Exterior:
Optimum Power Clean
Optimum Instant Detail Spray
P21S Autowash
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Adam's Undercarriage Spray

Menzerna SIP
Menzerna PO85RD
Menzerna Top Inspection
Swissvax Paint Rubber
Swissvax Quick Finish
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
Swissvax Divine
Swissvax Autobahn (for the wheels)
Swissvax Pneu (for the tires)
Adam's In and Out

Tools:

Infratech 5300

LC CCS Blue Pad
Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels

Ace Powersticks
Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun

Here are the pictures:

Is that the Wolfgang foam gun you're using? I bought one but haven't got a chance to use it.

Phil,

Is that the Adam's auto wash you use with the foam gun? and is it 1 gallon for $24.95?

Also, is Adam line of products is made by your company? Just curious.
