Thought I show the ample cargo space in the front.


After washing, proceeded to clay entire car including windows, wheels, etc..





Car is clean and prepped for 50/50 shot of the hood. Taped over the edge of the clear bra to prevent fraying the edges while polishing.


50/50 of the hood


Notice the deeper red on the right vs the the unpolished left.


50/50 Rear Lid



50/50 Rear Quarter Panel


Exhaust Before


Exhaust After




Engine cleaned and dressed




Applied DoDo Juice Supernatural and pulled car out in the sun to wipedown to make sure I don't miss any spots

Beautiful work!

I'm trying to decide on which EZ Detail brush to go with... regular or mini. Any insight?

Re: Audi R8 Detailed
Thoes custom rims should come standard on all R8's it would go really well with silver or black.

Re: Audi R8 Detailed
Incredible work on (IMHO) one of the best looking cars on the road!

The SN looks great. It's hard to beat a nice nuba on non-metallic reds!
