'08 Audi S5

This one belongs to a fellow Autopian, Nicko916, who contacted me though the website. I was fortunate enough to get a hold of him, quote the job and schedule it for Memorial Day weekend.

He showed up a little late on Saturday due to his dad being in a rain caused fender bender. Thankfully, everyone was alright and there was just some wrecked car issues to deal with instead of doctor issues!!

This was an exterior only detail but he also asked if I would take the "V8" badges off the side to make it look cleaner and aid in the detailing of it later.

It was still drizzling outside so I washed it real quick, leafblew it and got it in the garage. There was some swirling as well as some really weird "pits" in the paint that resembled really small water spots...but they weren't. Thankfully they polished out!

He was very happy with the job and said that the car looked "better than the day he bought it" which made me very happy to hear!!!

Process:
Wash w/Dawn
Dry with leafblower
Clay entire car including glass and rims
Polish:
Menz SIP w/orange CCS
106ff w/white CCS
IPA wipedown
Topper: (Nick brought his own)
Ultima Paint Prep
Ultima Paint Guard Plus
xhaust tips were done w/Flitz Metal Polish

Debadging was done with a blowdryer and a plastic razor blade

Re: '08 Audi S5

Nice job, he needs to put another layer of UPGP, guess he can do it himself since it only takes about 15 mins to do the entire car.
