2013 Audi S4 Two Step Correction

The owner of this S4 had previous visited to have some etchings removed.  We scheduled a second visit just prior to Camp Allroad to prep the car for showing.  This particular car has undergone a substantial amount of body work and paint due to several accidents.  As a result paint thickness, condition and reaction varied significantly across the vehicle.  This is a situation where the process and results had to be evaluated panel by panel to ensure a consistent finish.
