2010 Audi Q5 protection detail

[imported_OverTimeDetail]

Hi guys



I have a customer who's looking to get his wife's Q5 clean up and protected. I have to say the wheels are the worst condition wheels I had so far. The brake dust is like welded on the wheels and nothing worked: P21s wheel gel, Meg wheel brightener ( straight ), and only Iron X gave it some buzz, but I will need 4 more 16 oz bottles of it, which I dont have at the moment...



sorry for the lack of pictures, it was a rainy day.....





so here shes goes

I love Q5's and this S-Line is sweet. Yea, those S-Line wheels really grab and hold the dust. Looks great!

I know this is going to sound crazy. I detailed a 2005 350Z roadster that had never been washed in 40,000 miles. If you know these cars, you know how dusty the factory pads are. Now imagine what 40k miles of dust looked like. I thought the front wheels were powdercoated black. I used Easy Off no-lye oven cleaner on them with a normal kitchen sponge and it took the brake dust right off with absolutely no damage to the wheel clearcoat. It is important to use no-lye cleaner and to only do this in the worst cases. Be mindful of overspray though!

looks good. i also like the q5's.



about that whole oven cleaner thing i not sure i'd try it. but on the other hand with some of the wheel cleaner out there it may not be all that bad.

German brakes are different, they are the worst!
