ANOTHER PC detail TONS of PICS Today I detailed my roommates 2003 Audi A4. The car has 45k miles and the paint is in terrible shape. Swirls, scratches, it was a project. The car is pretty sweet tho. It gets tons of looks and used to push well into the 300's to the wheels with quattro, it was quick. He deceided to de-mod it cause he was DD it to school, but his setup ran 12's. Anyways here are the pics.
CLAY BAR
2 passes with 83
Zaino ZFX and Z5
Before (none from a distance)
A few hours after so some dust was able to settle on it but oh well
All the cars together
Camaros in the stable

To restore unpainted plastic like that, use a product like Mothers Back to Black. I use it on my wipers+arms, textured plastic at the bottom of the windshield, misc. rubber/side moulding, and side vent covers.
On this Audi, it looks like you could use Back to Black on the bottom plastic trim and the plastic/rubber surrounding the windows.

Probably the single worst detailing product on the market ..
Try Aerospace 303, Vinylex, Meg's #40, or any number of others .. b2b will turn your plastic white over time ..

What do you use on the Camaro? I tried Meguiars #80 on mine and it still did not look any better. I have #83, but have not tried it yet. I was going to use #83 then go over it with #80. Then wax with NXT. Clay bad did wonderso n the paint.
