This Q5 was pretty beat up after three years of use…auto car washes (with brushes) and just neglect. Robert’s nephew wanted it brought back to life so a Full Detail was done on the inside and outside to do just that. Compound and polish brought the metallic black mostly back to new, with some exceptions that are too badly damaged to be corrected. The inside wasn’t too bad (I’ve seen worse) but is now clean and conditioned. Hopefully that is the last bit of neglect it will see in its life!
Audi A6 - Optimum Paint Guard & Opti-Glass Pro
Anyone who knows Alex knew that he would be out of a Jeep and back into a VW/Audi within a year. Sure enough, here is his new A6, now all coated, both paint and glass!
Audi SQ5
I finished the Full Detail on Bruno’s SQ5 just in time before the skies opened up and the rain came!
Parts of this SUV have been repainted at one point and not done the best. I did the best I could to smooth those parts out and blend them in with the rest of the car with compound and polish and finished everything with Optimum Car Wax.
The interior was t terrible at all but a thorough vacuum, cleaning, and conditioning was done to make this car look as new as possible, both inside and out. Thanks for the support Bruno!
Audi SQ8
Adam brought his SQ8 back but this time for a Basic Wash to help keep this beast looking as good as it sounds and drives. Was a good chance to see how the wheels and windows cured with Opti-Coat Pro and Opti-Glass Pro as well. I also finished the wash with Opti-Coat Hyper-Seal for a one year of hydrophobic goodness.
Audi S4 - Opti-Coat Pro3
Kevin is probably one of the oldest friends I have since moving to the area. We met working at Ciocca VW back in 2011 and is still one of the few friends that have managed to put up with my crap and stuck around, for which I am appreciative of. You may remember his old S13 Nissan 240SX that was pushing 500 hp. I had coated that for him and he recently sold it to move on to something new. This something, is a 2014 Audi S4 with sport differential, DSG transmission, and alcantara seats.
It was clear that he wanted to keep this looking as good as possible since it would be his daily driver and this was around the time of the release of Opti-Coat Pro3. This is the thickest and most rugged coating from Opti-Coat to date and it was decided that the S4 deserved it. The previous owner claimed to be a detailer and I know I have heard that before so I wasn’t surprised with the swirls and marring. Kevin wanted the V6T badges removed from the fenders and he also had two nasty paint chips that went down to metal that I touched up with OEM paint pens.
I am anxious to see how this car holds up in the upcoming years of his ownership. Kevin is meticulous with his cleaning so I don’t have a lot to worry about but since Pro3 is new to me, I am still really curious. What I do know from application is that it is thicker and glossier and I have yet to be let down by an Opti-Coat coating, so bring it on!
