2004 Audi A4

This car hasn't been cleaned in over 18 months & it showed on the black interior.

Ended up spending around 5 hours working/protecting the interior alone.

PROCESS

vacuum
apc to clean
steam
pressure wash floor mats
NL to protect.

Befores

Re: 2004 Audi A4

I'm willing to put money on the table that the pics don't come close to what that Audi actually looked like all finished. My neighbor has that same exact car just the 2.7t engine that i maintain every 45 days and man is that audi silver amazing when done right...it just ooozes with gloss! Excellent job on the black interior too...that carpet in not the easiest to clean up

Re: 2004 Audi A4

Socks in the back seat?!?! Disgusting!

The interior actually looked acceptable if it hadn't been maintained for 18 months. My cousin's family car would be a LOT dirtier after 18 months

Is that bluish hue from the paint? Or just from the sky? Either way, it makes the car look really glossy Great job!

Re: 2004 Audi A4

Excellent work as always.

That was a really beat-up interior for an Audi.

Great work Thomas. The interior looks much better as does the paint!

Re: 2004 Audi A4

I see a pack of cigs in the door pocket...did the interior reek of smoke as well as being dirty? Since I dont detail for a living, I wont mess with a smokers car. I cant even stand to pull them around at work. I hold my breath.

Nice work!

Re: 2004 Audi A4

I got confused by the title saying it was an A4 as well.
Looks great though
