and left me with instructions to clean out my storage room in the garage. After a lot of planning I figured the best answer to this request was to polish the car. Fortunately in the garage was the A6.
The following post is my attempt at following the wife's orders
The wash -
As you can see the car being new has a very nice shine after a wash with Dawn detergent to remove all traces of polish and wax if any that is on the car now. My goal was to keep the shine but add the protection of wax.
The second step was the cleaner, Meguiare's Step 1 Clear Coat Body Scrub
Some say in this following picture you can see a VW Touareg, after many hours of staring at the picture I still don't see it ....
Next comes the polish ....
Not much change can be seen from the pictures but in person there is a noticable change in the deepness of the color. In the past I have use other manufactures polishes on my dark colored Audi's and after being "learned" in the mastery of detailing from the use of Meguiares polishes. 8 hours later came the next layer of polish and then Sunday morning more pics .....
This is a picture of my subdivision as seen through the reflection of the drivers door ...
And finally wax was added, and my goal was achieved, the shine and protection were there.
Although in my opinion this 58K car as too much orange peel, the car looks great.
While I had a great time with the A6, I am hoping that my wife will be surprised at my attempt to clean the storage room.
