Top2Bottom Detailed: 2008 Audi R8 (Daily Driver)

Hey All,

It must be Audi Season! This is the second R8 post in 3 days!

I usually don't post any work on the forums for the security of my customers, but this customer was more than happy to show the car off. Apparently, this was the first R8 in Ohio, and he paid well over sticker to get it. Its daily driven which makes it even better! It has 13K on the clock so far. He drives it every day it doesn't rain, and it get soo many looks.

The car was in decent shape, had some light swirling and some RIDS, almost impossible to capture on my camera. Sorry for not many 50/50's!

I was lucky enough to come and pick it up from his house. One of the coolest customers I've ever had. Before I left he said "make sure you test it in "sport" mode"- Simply Amazing! I took over 230 pictures throughout the process and I had the car for 2 Days.

Total working hours: 12
