Chemical Guys Clay Bar - To remove all contaminates that can't be seen by the naked eye, but can be felt by gliding your fingers over the top of the surface of the car, it'll feel very rough and not smooth at all.

Single pass with the DA Polisher, Lake Country Kompressor Orange Pad and Chemical Guys 3n nano pro polish!

Not to sure? He's had his eyes on an RS4.

Well, after using Meguiars, Auto Glym and Mothers leather cleaner and conditioner.

Meguiars - quite a greasy feel

Auto Glym - had to apply a few layers, was smooth after 3rd layer

Mothers - wasn't to bad, but felt a bit dry

They were all tested on my MK5 Golf R32.

The Chemical guys was fast, effective and no greasy residue.

Estimate time would be from wash to final buff off the wax; 6-7hours with half hour break.
