I reckon on spending a grand on it, so it'll be a 2 grand car which should do me for some time.

Title: Re: MrJoshua's 1998 Audi A4 2.4 30v V6 Post by: MrJoshua on April 06, 2007, 02:06:16 PM OK, here's my update for today: (Scroll for the photos if you're not a detailing geek)...
Got to the garage at 10am and made a start at about 10:30. Applied Wonder Wheels to all wheels and agitated with a soft brush... Hot-Damn they were filthy! Removed GB and Welsh Dragon stickers from boot with the help of a hot air gun (carefully!!). Washed whole car with 50:50 Ph Neutral De-Limonine / Water and a MF Cloth (Inc. Engine Bay). Clayed the Roof and Boot, but there was that much crap in the paint (I'm not joking), I was convinced that it was making matters worse. Washed with Zymol Premium Shampoo and a Tesco MF pad. The car was in the sun, so it dried almost instantly after rinsing! Applied 3M Fine Compund on a natural sponge (?) applicator pad to the bonnet, roof and bootlid. Buffed with MF Cloth. Applied AG SRP on a natural sponge (?) applicator pad to the entire car. Buffed with MF Cloth. Applied Comma Black Trim Wax to all black plastic exterior trim. Polished Windows with Sonus Glass & Chrome. ----- Inside, I vacuumed the entire interior, removed and discarded the horrible rubber mats (but found a hole in the carpet on the drivers-side, from the driver's heel... I'll get some proper mats to cover this, however that's the only damage in the interior (other than a couple of broken clips on the rear centre arm rest). Used a dilute mix of Vax AAA liquid shampoo to clean spot stains on the roof lining, Sun Visors and A/B/C Pillars. Used Volkswagen interior plastic spray on a MF Cloth to clean all interior plastics. Did the interior windows with Sonus Glass & Chrome... buggered the first one up as I picked up the wrong MF cloth (of course it HAD to be the one with Collinite 476s on it :( ). Removed used car sales sticker from the rear window. Went for some tea at 16:00... Sunburnt and aching arms! Here are the photos!

It looks nice now though :) Stage two of this will commense when I receive the Menz polish kit next week and I can start some proper defect removal. Oh, and yes, I know I need to order the lower door trims :) Title: Re: MrJoshua's 1998 Audi A4 2.4 30v V6 Post by: MrJoshua on January 05, 2008, 01:23:16 PM Photo from today:

Title: Re: MrJoshua's 1998 Audi A4 2.4 30v V6 Post by: MrJoshua on April 13, 2008, 08:33:49 AM Some better (possibly?) photos that I took today... I've had her a full year now, so I thought I'd give her a decent clean (I even de-greased the whole engine).
Thinking about getting an A8 next - 4.2 V8 Quattro!

Title: Re: MrJoshua's 1998 Audi A4 2.4 30v V6 Post by: parasight on April 23, 2008, 10:34:19 AM those trim pieces on the bottom of the door are a real son of a bitch.. one of mine is starting to fall off, and I replaced one about two years ago.
looking good though :thumbsup: Title: Re: MrJoshua's 1998 Audi A4 2.4 30v V6 Post by: MrJoshua on April 25, 2008, 01:01:09 PM Thanks guys...
The updated lower door trims are all plastic/rubber now, so they won't rust and fall off again. Dutchman: The plates were £250 about 7 years ago. They've been on 4 different cars now (Costs somewhere around £100 to move them between cars too! :( ) The physical plates themselves were about another £70... Fucking joke really, but I like the pressed metal, rather than the standard shitty plastic in the UK.
