Good afternoon! Client has been a good friend for a few years and wanted their Audi cleaned up. This has been a tremendous turn around!! Client is very busy with job's, young children and living the great adventure. This post will be picture heavy, but so exciting to see the outcome! We, as detailers are not here to put down others for the condition of their vehicles, for I am thankful to have a chance to turn a vehicle around because they are busy with life!! Clean it up, seal it up and send them on the way! See you again for a refresh before the snow flys!!! Upon arrival Rear bumper Hard to see, but all door jambs had fallout and tar specs. Bugs and crunchy things.... Misc body shots...you get the point....needs love!! Interior upon arrival Let's get it started! Tires/door jambs/wheel wells cleaned with Meg's Super Degreaser mixed 50/50 Rims cleaned with Sonax Total Effect wheel cleaner Front end after washing and detail brush agitation, three times... Rims MUCH better!! Basically washed each section three times with Dawn dish soap and Meg's H.D. degreaser...it works! I had to wait for the mail to come with iron x order, so got started on interior. The following are salt stains under drivers seat from shoe/boot run off this winter. Advised client to invest in Weather Tech mats to prevent this next winter, Much better!! The front stains were removed after seat was moved back.... Floor and seat done...WOW!! Passenger side rear carpets/seats... Front drivers side.... After... Passenger side... Remember exterior washed three times...Iron X time!! Rims too... DANG!!! Look in those tucked away places... I ended up Iron-Xing the whole car...hood... Roof.... YEEHAAA! Fourth wash and now time to correct paint! Not so fast....STILL had tar spots....3M Adheasive Remover took them out quick... Now paint defects...Really not too bad.... Usual victims.... Rear bumper...I did not get a lot of afters... Tar spots.. Drivers side tar removed prior to correction... Gettin down low,,,how low can you go?? Total tar removed..rag was white... Defects hard to see.... Decided to Compound rear bumper/deck lid as they had the most damage. Did a lot of scratches by hand and whole front clip with compound by hand twice....nice! Decided after misc compounding to finish wax each panel twice. It was cutting thru defects great! Love Audi's Rings.. Clarity and gloss being restored.... After 2 passes with Meg's D.A. Microfiber Finishing wax....ahhhhh.... Much clearer.. Door jambs glowin!! Always remember what your client sees when they open a door... Remember tail lenses.... Art....pure art.. Wheels had misc tar too...then coated with Meg's white wax.... Oh you know what time it is...Seal it up!!! Favorite shots...it just looks Bad A**... ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN... If you made it to the end of all these photo's, thank you SO much for looking. This was an amazing turn around for this Audi!! I am SO thankful to those who trust me to detail their vehicles!! So drive on, live life and call me when ready to get it cleaned!! Time taken: Total prep: 5 hours Interior: 4 hours Exterior: 6 hours It was worth every moment invested!! Clients were shocked at results and VERY pleased indeed!! Detail on people, live your dream!! Hoover
Thanks guy's!! I wonder if rolling dirty has advantages sometimes instead of car washes tearing up the finish....hmmm. Hoover
