2010 Audi R8
Milage: 9300
Process: Stage III + OptiGuard
Total Time: 12 hours
The owner dropped this car off with me on one of the nicest weekends we've had all winter, it was about 50 and sunny the whole time; just great detailing weather. What I like about this client is when we initially spoke, I asked "are you having it serviced because you're storing it for the winter?" to which he replied "WITH QUATTRO DRIVE THERE'S NO REST FOR THE WICKED!" and upon arrival it was very obvious this guy truly enjoy's owning, driving and using his car like a daily driver. There was evidence of coffee dribbles and some random personal items as well as general wear n tear that one would expect on a traditional DD. The exterior was incredibly clean, the only contamination I found was on the rear louvers and near the wheels. The paint was devoid of swirls too-almost a let down honestly as I was hoping to really go beast-mode on the paint.
Interior:
Cleaned plastics with Megs APC+ @ 10:1
Cleaned leather with Adams Leather cleaner then saturated with Leatherique Rejuvenator oil for 1/2 a day.
Dressed plastics with 303 and leather with Adams Conditioner
Shampooed carpets then extracted
Windows with Griots
Before:
After:
Exterior:
Cleaned engine with mild soap and water, using various brushes to agitate (the engine was not very dirty, I suspect that is due to it's placement). Dried with MF towel and blower. Later the CF was polished with Griots 3" and MFDA/M301
CG's Grime reaper @ 6:1 on rims (these bad boys were dirty!)
Body: CG Wash n Clear
Clayed with CG Medium clay bar
Dried with MF Waffle weaves
Coated tires with 2 applications of Tuff Shine tire clear coat about 10 minutes apart.
Coated rims with ArmorAll wheel protectant
Polished paint with Flex DA, tangerine pad and M205
Hand polished the rear louvers with M105 then M205
50/50 alcohol wipe down across the whole car
Topped everything with Optimum OptiGuard
Some clouds rolled in toward the end of the gig and made for some neat shots:
A little fun with the polarizing lens:
Best part of this gig was the owner asked me to drive it back to him-probably the sexiest 10 miles I've ever traveled!
