Here is our latest project, hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
`
This is a new Audi RS 5 in a stunning custom color, suzuka grey.` It is a very subtle grey with a nice amount of metal flake in the paint.` No doubt this will look amazing in direct sunlight, but we didnâ€™t have any of that during the RSâ€™s stay with us.` Our shop lights were all we had, but we think it turned out amazing in any light! `
`
After a visual inspection, It was booked in for our entry level Opti-Coat package, involving full decontamination and single stage polish to bring out the gloss.` Opti-Coat, -Lens, and -Glass were all applied to the appropriate surfaces of this vehicle.` Wheels and calipers coated as well. `
`
Prior to decontamination, decent layer of grime coating everything

During decontamination
Snow foam to loosen dirt, and an iron neutralizer to deep clean.` Opti-Raser mild was also used

Debadge!
A little side project the owner wanted taken care of.` As soon as he installs the new badges and sends me a pic, I will post.` It is sure to look badass!

Agreed!

Stunning work and these are such beautiful cars to work on.

Thank you. It`s true, my mind will wander when working on cars and start to think about all the behind-the-scenes stuff that led to the final, beautiful product: design, engineering, build process...There are certainly huge holes in these processes for other manufacturers. Audis and a few others are so well crafted!
