1 of 1 Signal Green Audi R8 V10 By Tru Shine & Unique Mobile Detailing

[Tru_Shine]

I was very excited to get to work on this one of a kind factory painted Signal green Audi R8 V10. This car doesn`t have very many miles on it, but it does have a few factory defects that needed addressed.

We started with the wheels using Sonax Full Effect which is a Safe and pH balanced wheel cleaner.

This wheels cleaner is designed to turn a redish color when it reacts with the Iron particles of the brake dust.

Using our Ez Detail brush we were able to get inside the wheel barrels real good.

After all of the wheels were cleaned, We then Pre-rinsed the car down to knock off any loose/heavy debris.

Brought the car to clay bar and tape up



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/bf020444.jpg



then David took the air force blaster and blew all of the water out of the crevices while I dried the panels with a microfiber towel.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/4d8062b8.jpg



we removed the LP for better access behinde it for polishing.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/dbc47aee.jpg



Even the taillights were marred up

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/47e9cb4d.jpg



Using my Griot`s 6in DA and Cyan LC pad and M105 I started on the soft black painted section.



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/2d772216.jpg



here is a 50/50

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/092b593b.jpg



While I was working on the rear section of the car, David was cutting the paint with the Megs Microfiber cutting disc and D300





here is a section of the Driver Quater panel that David did a 50/50

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/0a82d3e3.jpg





Slight haze left behind from the cutitng disc and D300 which will be polished out, but overall the correction was great



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/6e2645db.jpg



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/cc847c45.jpg



For the Taillights, I used a Rotary buffer with 3in Gloss-it BP and a Cyan 4in pad with M105 followed with M205 on a Tang pad.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/87fb6f3c.jpg



here are some scratches on the edge of the rear wing

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/6a1125dd.jpg



Making our way around the car I chose the Griots 6in DA with the Microfiber DA system



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/57680a90.jpg



Some scratches were a little deeper and required a little more cut, so for this i used a Surbuff pad and M105 compound

David with his Flex 3401 and the Microfiber system

Me with the Griot`s DA and Microfiber system



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/Green%20Audi%20R8/33b0a1d0.jpg



After cutting and polishing (polished with black LC pad and M205) the car, we pulled it back out side to wash off and remove any dust and compound from the jams.

Then we pulled the car back inside and I began to seal the paint with Black Fire Wet Diamond and David Used the Black Fire Midnight sun on the Carbon Fiber in the Engine bay.
