Swissvax'ed: Black Audi S5 with Swissvax Shield PTFE wax

This car was in need of a little TLC... The owner usually maintains the car on his own, however due to time restraints had not been able to devote time to working on his car.

We gave it a complete exterior surface cleansing, decontamination, and protection; as well as a full Engine compartment detail. No interior work was done.

Products:

-P21s TAW
-1Z Blitz
-1Z W99
-1Z Windscreen
-Sonax Full Effect
-#0000 Steel Wool


Swissvax:
-Car Bath
-Engine
-Protecton
-Seal Feed
-Engine Shine
-Paint Rubber (Yellow)
-Quick Finish
-Cleaner Fluid Medium via PC w/SV Black Gloss pad @6
-Shield PTFE wax
-Nano Express
-Cleaner Fluid Regular
-Autobahn PTFE Wax (Wheels)
-Pneu Glossy
-Waschpudel
-Black Puck Applicator
-Black wax applicator
-Micro-Absorb (Red)
-Micro-Polish (Blue)
-Micro-Fluffy
-Pneu Brush
-Detail Brush
-Wheel Brush
-Metal Polish


Here's how the car looked upon arrival

















Looks like small water puddles build up on the bottom of the audi symbol










Onto the cleaning with P21s TAW and a Swissvax Detail brush to really get in the places a wash mitt doesn't.

Around all the window seals




Behind the door handle



Around the emblems






Now let's make this paint look new again...

We chose Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium, paired that up with the Porter Cable and a Swissvax Black Gloss pad to get the maximum gloss out of the paint, while still removing slight scratches and holograms!






Paint Before:








Drumroll please....


And the finished result! about 8 hours later...



















































That's all for that one!

Thanks for looking!
