Default Audi A6 detailed by Ultimate Shine Autos

Hey guys, just had my A6 detailed by the guys at Ultimate Shine Autos.
The car was suffering from some pretty bad swirl marks / holograming etc. This caused by a combination of early poor wash technique I guess and also some of the paint repairs completed to the bonnet / wings / bumper over the years accounting for the holograming.
In the flesh it still looked great and I got compliments from everyone on how great she looked, but I knew the defects were there.
Crazy I know, but, the night before I thoroughly washed her and detailed the interior then dropped her of with the guys at their unit in Stirling for the 2 day session.

Have to say that she certainly looked much better when I picked her up...The blue was darker / clearer without the swirls eating up the reflections......shiny shiny shiny and smooth as Ice and I was well chuffed!!

Unfortunately Trevor /Clive did not do this justice in their write up as they included small pic in the attached word document, but you get the idea

It looks astounding. I know my car looks loads better after some hard detailing. I cannot wait until I get the guts to wet sand it.

Thanks Tophatchef, comments appreciated
The guys did a great job on the actual work, but I think the write up needs sumthin as well as decent sized pics that really show before n after......anyway, I'm pleased with the results

An excellent job. Makes me wish I had access to somewhere inside to do detailing work. It is not the same working outside in a carpark!

Thanks Delta...
It rained today and the way the water beaded off the car was amazing to watch. When washed the water just kinda bounces off the paintwork....Its ALL good!!

I really must get a quality wax and try n keep on top of it now!

It is very satisfying watching rain bubble and run off a newly polished car. I would recommend Autoglym Super Resin Polish. I find it can last 8 months easily and my car always lives outside.
