Audi S5 in Glorious Black

[DMS_Dan]

Hey Guys,

I know its not called glorious black but it is an awesome colour lol. The car is an ex demo so saw plenty of damp chamois action and was butchered by the dealer detailers before the customer picked it up. Anyway enjoy!!

Excuse the dust in some of the shots it was incredibly windy the Sunday this was done and we were surrounded by trees.

ENJOY!

Dan

It was buffed with a rotary buffer. I used Menzerna intensive polish and a yellow edge pad. It was then buffed with a menzerna final finish 106FF and a festool white pad to bring out the gloss and remove any of the pad marks

Mate awesome job as always, and wow what a car! They do look pretty fab in black but I tell you now if one of those in a dark pearly silver ever came about I'd have to hold my CROTCH in fear of deadly explosions of catastrophic proportion :eek:

Mis.18t, before shots show all the bad bits. When Dan is done there are no bad bits!! So he'll show you more of the car cos they're pretty :)

[gldgti]

beautiful, beutiful car. just WOW.

mickey, why would you have to "hold your pants"?

BTW - Dont answer back... just dont do it again ;-)

[Eyez]

Stunning job.
Being the owner of a BLack Magic Pearl .:R32 I know the pain of swirl arks and light scratches.
How many hours work was that ?

[DMS_Dan]

Thanks mate.

Around 6 hours i think

Dan, what rotary are u using mate?

[goodfella]

I've seen this car in the flesh and the pre-delivery detail was pretty bad!

Dan, you've done a great job to get it that schmick!!

[h100vw]

I saw it too and it was overwhelmed by it's presence. I didn't look too hard at the paint TBH.

Looks really clean now though! Good effort.
