Finally, todays job, an Audi S4 Avant owned from new but showing its age.
Stage 1 Detail on this one.
Virtually identical wash routine to the DB9, but some different LSP bits:
Pre Rinse - BH Autofoam, AS Hazsafe applied to lower halves
Wheels, Tyres, Arches - AS Smart Wheels, AS G101, various brushes
Wash - TBM with grout sponge and ONR
Clay - BH Regular and AS Reglaze as lube. AS Tardis to lower halves and wheels also.
Polish - Dodo Need For Speed
Glaze - Poorboys Black Hole
Seal - Britemax UV Resistant Sealant
Wax - Collinite 476s then wiped over with AS Reglaze.
Glass - AS Glass Clear
Tyres - AS Finish (2 coats)
Wheels - Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Exhausts - Wire wool and Megs Metal Polish
Even after just ONR and wheels cleaned it was looking a hell of a lot better!:
Afters:
And the bloody tree that it was parked under was a PITA - lost count the amount of times I had to keep brushing bits off. My van was covered after a couple of hours:
Thanks for looking.
Time for a bit of rest, before another 3 days of manic activity!
Cheers!
Rich

Thanks all 
Yes they're all one owner. They're in Kent though, 65 miles away from me.
Been getting up uber early and leaving by 6.30am each day, and getting in around 6pm lol. Aston was leave house at 6.30am and get in some 13.5 hours later!
Tree sap covered that S4 big style - used 1.5 clay bars! To put that into perspective, that'd normally do around 6 cars lol. Have spoken to the owner and he's going to clear the 2nd garage to fit it in (as Q7 doesn't fit in either anyway lol)

Still a lot cheaper than quite a few other companies out there! Plus pretty logical investment in some ways when they rarely get cleaned and are parked where they are. Need protection etc. Plus they've all now just increased in value I can confidently say

Yup Q7 is serviced there for deffo, S4 not sure as the sticker in the window was another Kent branch iirc. He's had it from new though so sure it has been to you.
