    AutoObsessed Dealers

    Auto Obsessed performed a Winter Prep Detail to this 2013 Audi Q5. The exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. The wheels, wheel wells, doorjambs, exhaust, and engine bay were extensively detailed with a host of OBSSSSD Premium Products. The paintwork underwent a full multistage paint correction to perfect the paintwork before application of XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film to areas that are most prone to damage. We then finished the vehicle in CarPro CQuartz FINEST Ceramic Coating. CarPro CQuartz Finest is a professional only product and can only be applied by or sold to official CarPro accredited installers. Auto Obsessed is an accredited dealer and installer of CarPro CQuartz Finest. CarPro CQuartz Finest represents the ultimate development of the CarPro line of advanced nanotechnology coatings. Backed by a 2-Year CarPro Certified Warranty, CQuartz Finest offers the highest gloss the richest finish, the greatest scratch resistance and the most protection of any CQuartz coating.

    The full OBSSSSD product line can be found here: http://obssssdproducts.com

    This looks really really good!! Absolutely love the Audi Q5. Does the P21s Metal polish work well? Seems like it got rid of all that turbo soot on the exhaust tips.

    AutoObsessed Dealers

    The P21S Polishing Soap works very well for cleaning exhaust tips as long as they are not painted. As per our tutorial in the following link, some cases require the use of ultra fine steel wool with the P21S Polishing soap.

    Both Products can be found at the following links:
