    Audi R8



    Hi Guys, Cant believe its been waaaaay over a month since my last write up! As always, its very hectic at Miglior and things are growing by the day!

    Id like to show you all a lovely R8 that I spent 4 days on a few weeks back to bring it back to its former glory! This is the owners pride & joy but knew it needed professional attention to remove some of the defects the car has picked up over the last few years. So the owner booked the car in at Miglior Detailing for a Full correction detail

    I initially thought I had lost all these photos as I lost a memory card with all the photos on, but luckily I had backed up some of the pictures on my iPad. I won't be able to put together a write up that is as thorough as they normally are, but three's more than enough to look at!

    Here it is on arrival…

    Looking perfect…

    But we don't have a proper idea about the true finish without stripping back the polishing oils with IPA.

    Checking the finish again under the sun gun, Perfect!

    Check with the sun gun after an IPA wipe!

    Now on day 3 all the correction work had been finished… it was back outside late at night to get the car re-washed. This made sure all the dust was removed from all crevices and gaps.

    [​IMG]

    Back inside the unit to blow-dry and dab dry.

    Once the car was dried…

    [​IMG]

    I touched up a very small chip on the driver's door edge…

    Now, the following day was manic!! I did take a few shots whilst doing the finishing…but I lost them with the loss of my memory card.

    Here are some after shots! The finsihed was done with Swissvax Products!

    Here's what the owner had to say about the work

    "I took a bit of a chance choosing Miglior, as I had never previously heard of them, however I had made several phone calls to similar companies in the North West & made my choice.

    The quality of the work was simply outstanding; my car looks brand-new, and now does on a daily basis. But equally important was the after sales advice on how to maintain the finish, I hadn't realised that most of the things I thought were correct were actually to the detriment of my own car!

    I would recommend Miglior very highly."

    Thanks so much for reading another write up of mine!

    That looks immaculate. May I ask what your method for touching up the paint on the door edge was?

    thanks for the comments guys!

    the difference in the engine bay is... the plastic oil filler cap. It looks like the metal one had been stolen at servicing time etc. We made sure the owner had a brand new metal one put back in the bay ;)
