Default Lusso Oro /beading shots on an RS6

The much asked for LUSSO ORO beading pictures, my Audi was cleaned up Wednesday.

It's a daily driver, sits outside 24/7, and it has rained and snowed for the last 5 days here....

Poor car sitting outside:

Phil, you'd have a heart attack if you saw what my cars look like right now.

Default Avant...covered in dirt, sand, salt.

didn't get it's fall wax in. I coated it with 1Z Glanz in July or so. It's at least garaged.

BMW...hasn't been hand washed in 3 months. Have taken it through touchless a few times.

It's parked outside, with salt all over it. Last waxed in April. 1Z Glanz was still beading up on the last wash I did.

Interiors of both cars are still clean. Rubber floor mats have saved them.

I'll have a mega detail to do in the spring.

As soon as it warms up, I'll wash the avant...most likely will use a very soft RV brush though. My muscles are giving me major problems, so car washing isn't enjoyable for the time being. The BMW can wait for the pressure washer...LOL.

Default bit of bad luck this year....

i give you mega credit for all the work you do on cars...it takes a lot of energy to detail cars the way you do day in and out.

i did a detail on the avant in june/july and did it over a 2 day period. my muscles were sore for a few days...since then things have progressively gotten worse, and it hurts to just about do anything.

waiting for the neuromuscular docs to come up with an answer. so the cars are suffering a bit.

hopefully by spring, i'll get the cars back in tip top shape.
