2012 Audi A4 Intensive Polish

I worked on this client's SQ5 a short time ago and it was time for his wife's car to get a similar treatment.  He jumped in the deep end with his first audi being the SQ5, but his wife actually owned her audi before they purchased the SQ5.  This car hasn't had a formal detail during their ownership and while they do care for it, time has taken it's toll and it was ready to be rejuvenated.  Because this is a daily driver, is often exposed to the elements and can't look better than the SQ5, we chose to go with an intensive polish to remove the majority of the defects and bring back the clarity of the paint.

number of different polishers were used to get into all the tight spaces.
