How did I miss this yesterday? Excellent work from dynamic duo as expected... and seeing David already re-assimilated into the Michigan fold is a great thing!

[Todd@RUPES]

Fantastic work and documentation Todd. That`s one sweet ride too.

I also enjoyed David`s T-shirt. He`s definitely ready for the move back to Michigan now.

Thanks. After lounging in the 75 degree Florida winters we will see how read David is...

Great job on the detail and amazing write-up Todd!!! I`m looking forward to the new Blackfire products!

I also do the same thing when washing the door jambs.

Thanks Marc! I am looking forward to getting them into your hands!

Thanks for the crevice tool tip, have to try that out.

I think there might be something wrong with you`re camera. The bottles were obscured in some of the pictures.

I`ll make sure to get the camera fixed!

I have been contacted by a potential client who owns one of these, and Im REALLY hoping things work out to where I get not only this car, but his entire collection. He described this one as "Audi`s version of a Lambo". Thanks for posting this, as it gives me an idea of what I may be working with. Great job btw. It turned out beautiful.

Thanks! Let us know if you get the collection and make sure to post a lot of pictures!

All details cared and worked for an incomparable finish.
Beautiful........!!!

Gracias Julio mi amigo. Me gusta tus cumplidos y estoy contento con su éxito

Great write up Todd on these fine products, look out Michigan detailers David is heading back!

David shipped out on Tuesday. Thanks for the compliments Angelo, it was fun to put the new stuff in action.

Todd- I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your write ups. All of the pictures and details that you include are great.

The car looks amazing, I really love that color and the wheels really accent it all. I can`t wait to see these top secret products when they are introduced.

Thanks Rocket. I can`t wait to introduce them (honestly, I am more excited for this than I am for Christmas!)

Todd,

An outstanding thread on how to detail Audi`s R8 SuperCar! It`s always a pleasure to read your threads as they`re very clear, organized, and chuck full of useful and valuable information.

I`m having a bit of trouble making out some of the products you`re using though......

Thanks Mr. Bobby G. It means a lot coming from you!

Another job well done Todd. Love the R8.

Thanks TID10!

These write ups inspire me to spend money (good for you) and take on better approaches (good for me). It takes a lot of time to write up reviews like this and fit everything else in life in, for this I applaud you!
I was wondering though, would the BF compound and polish combo work with the Meg`s MF pads?

BF Compound and Polish will work with MF pads just fine. With any diminishing abrasive poilsh you will want to keep the pad very clean. Thank you for the compliments!

Great post Todd and thanks for the additional information and how-to`s on various products and techniques. Great to see you guys down there tackling yet another exotic.

David`s looking like a true Michigan man: reppin` the Michigan-based detailing company and sweating in the "heat" of Florida.

Thanks Marc. I laughed when David walked out his garage with that shirt on!

All I can do is....





Great work Todd.

Great job guys and wonderful write up once again.

[Todd@RUPES]

Thanks guys for the kind words!

[Street Dreams]

Great job guys, dont think any other detailers in the US have done the GT yet, this will be hard to beat!

Thanks Dave. I wasn`t aware how rare/new these are. I know its a cool car that belongs to a fabulous client of Dave`s and mine and that it had to be custom ordered in the color it is, but that`s it.

You have killer arms Todd!

[cmichael258]

Great write-up. I like the idea of wrapping a microfiber towel around a credit card to get into the crevices. Beautiful car!

[Todd@RUPES]

Hahaha, thanks! I just started working out again after literally five years off, so it should only get better.
