First detail since settling in AZ! Customer has a 2013 v10 Audi R8 which he drives three or four days to work.
Mainly on fair weather days, no rain etc... When it's parked, it's in it's own spot underground and covered.
The original owner did a full wrap of clear-bra PPF with either Sun Tech or Expel (self-healing). Thus the paint was in great shape, overall PPF looked good and the coating on it was still holding up, but the car needed some serious TLC.
- Wheels were pretty gritty
- Hard water spots near the ground effects, all jambs, front plastic and rear plastics. Under the hood (rear) was peppered with water spots. All the glass, carbon fiber and metal supports had hard water spots.
- Interior had Arizona Accent all over it, and needed TLC as well.
- Only one part of the rear hood into the deck lid had some swirls and rids, thus I told him we'll use a fine polish and go over the back of the vehicle and accept our results as PPF can have diminished returns. He was fine with that and was good with the vehicle over all not needing to be polished. All in all, we put six solid hours into this baby with it only being a brisk AZ 104 degrees out.
Here is the process and products:
Exterior:
- Griot's Heavy Duty Wheel cleaner, wheel woolies, daytona speed brush
- CarPro Spotless on all water spots (worked great!!) - Took a few passes, but I was entirely thrilled with the product. I varied from the instructions on the bottle a little and got great results.
- Iron-X
- Foam cannon, 2bm, Megs Hyperwash, Puretec Spotless Water Filtration System, Chenille Wash Mitts
- Blow Dry
- Pinnacle Fine Poly Clay / D114 Clay Lube
- Griots G15, BOSS Yellow, BOSS Perfecting Cream (for scratches on the back decklid)
- CarPro Erasure wipedown - entire vehicle
- CarPro Reload applied to entire vehicle including wheels
- D114 - Door jambs, bonnet, Engine Cleaning/wipedown
- BLACKFIRE AIO for all plastic parts under bonnet and hood
- Pinnacle Crystal Mist for all components and carbon fiber under the hood
- Pinnacle Krystal Glass Cleaner with Water Repellent
- BLACKFIRE AIO for tires
- Pinnacle Exhaust Cleaner / LC Scrubber
Interior
- Metrovac
- McKee's 37 Fast Interior Cleaner = Nick, this was the first time using this, Interior Gal LOVED IT!!! We used it on everything in the interior!
- McKee's 37 Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner
- Leitz soft optics cloth and Fast Interior Cleaner for all optics
- q-tips, q-tips, q-tips, q-tips and MORE q-tips!
Owner was thrilled and now has referred us to friends with 911's and other Audi's.
Enjoy!
