LF Detail: A4 Audi Correction on Tree Staining

[Woob]

Originally had posted questions on how to tackle this tree stained A4. Nothing worked chemically, even goof off,etc. So I went ahead with my mechanical correction set.

4 Year old Audi A4 in need of some resurrection. Top surfaces were stained from a Tree which etched the surface. Tried a huge amount of adhesive, residue, and solvent chemicals. Correction was the only way.

Wheels x- Sonax Wheel Cleaner, Optimum Power Clean, Poorboy`s Wheel Cleaner various brushes.

Tires – Optimum OptiBond

Wash – Bath with Optimum Wash, Power Clean – Pre Wash/Prep Paint.

Decontamination - IronX, Nanoskin Towel

Clay x- Yellow Erazer Clay + Optimum No Rinse

Polish – M105 & D300 with various 3 inch pads + Hitachi Rotary

Wax – Optimum GPS, OptiSeal, Optimum Car wax

Interior – Vacuumed & Optimum Protectant Plus

Various Products: OptiClean, Adam’s QD, Goof Off.











Having played with all those chemicals and really going hardcore on decontamination I`m considering the AutoInternational ABC system for this type of damage. I`ve waited years for Optimum`s answer, but it does seem far away. Any ideas for true decontamination removal?
- IronX works well, but I find it needs to be reapplied and adjusted, as well its aimed at "Iron" removal.
- Claying always works, but I`ve noticed on some vehicles it fully doesnt remove every single spec as well as I would like.
- Nanoskin towel is a great product for speed decontamination, however can`t be used to spot remove spots as well as clay. Still I`ve added into my regimen and it saves a great bit of agony from claying every panel alone.

What`s that purple stuff on the door? IronX?

Were you able to remove all those berry stains?

Iron being dissolved from IronX. Yes all the stains came out, gotta love polish. Though I think there needs to be a better chemical way.

nice job on that Audi. I have found GPS to be a pretty nice product.

I like as well! Haven`t played with the correction ability, but I like it due to the less product usage compared to Poliseal. Does a great job cleaning the paint.
