Street Dreams Detail - Sprint Blue Audi RS4 Corrected & Wolf'd

Audi RS4 full correction and detail with clear film removal. This car is driven hard and the owner has modified it (rather meticulously) with only the best. Last thing to do was get the paint up to par with a proper detail and correction.

Wheels and wash process:

Sonax FE
Optimum Powerclean
Citrus Wash
Iron X





Nanoskin autoscub on the DA @ speed 1



Onto film removal, this was done carefully and with the use of a heat gun and plenty of nitrile gloves. Your fingertips and knuckles will be torn up otherwise, there is no way around it. After removing all the film the paint underneath was also Nanoskin'd and then wiped with adhesive remover until everything was gone and smooth before polishing











Masked trim before polishing, RS4 optioned with the titanium package (no alu trim)

Healthy paint readings after inspection with both LED and halogen lights. Lots of wash marring and some deep marks, this scared me a bit only because this is a very hard clear coat car and it takes a lot to instill swirls, luckily everything was reversible... with the right pad and polish

Correction was carried out using both Meguiars and Menzerna. M105 for the initial compounding stage followed by Powerfinish for polishing. All final polishing work was completed with the old reliable and track proven PO85rd on a blue foam pad.

Under the lights...



50/50











Side skirts as per usual took a beating, you can see the difference in gloss and depth before and after. Sprint blue hides a lot naturally but it can get kicked up a couple notches with correction work







Original badge needed to be replaced, after removing it and correcting the area the owner decided it looked cleaner badge-less, it just seem to fit better with the cars stance as is



Badge removed



50/50



Flake back in spades after final polishing



After polishing the finish was cleaned further with IPA and Eraser before 2 coats of Body Wrap. I won't leave anything to chance when using some of the more boutique sealants and of course paint coatings the finish must be 100% clean before application. Worth the extra effort



















Total time 2.5 days

Awesome work! Such a sexy car...

 

Incredible work and incredible car, Dave. The first full car after pic should be made into a wallpaper!

BTW, I've also got an 849x with the Dynabrade attachment and it is AWESOME! Great choice!:thumb:

 

Does the plate say "RS4LIFE" ?

Very nice work Dave

What was the pad and polish combo on the dynabrade?

It looked like MF pad...MF with M105?

 

A favorite color and sweet car. Awesome job Dave!

 

Stunning finish Dave!

 

Great job Dave. That finish looks phenomenal.

 

Great job! Love that color.

 

What a color!? I love blue but that metallic blue looks so sick!

How do you get those sun shots with the perfect star burst where the sun hits vs having a big blown out sun spot? That car looks fresh and so does your work buddy!

 

Great work ... that blue is INTENSE!! no other words to describe it!!

 

Car is on point now, nice work Dave.

I've detailed a couple of RS4s, one, the same color as this one and the other was a carbon black metallic that got the works done on it. I can TOTALLY appreciate how hard the paint on these cars is. I had 2.5 days in on the black one as well. Awesome job man. That car is POPPING now!

 

Great work dave looks stunning

 

nice work

 

Great job Dave!

 

That first "after" picture looks out of this world. Wow...

 

Nice work Dave. The car looks amazing

 

Excellent work Dave.

 

Using an SLR or comparable camera helps although some newer point and shoot cameras can do just as fine a job capturing sun shots. Also helps if the paint is perfectly leveled.

Really? lol the fender shots are my favorites!

 

With an DSLR, you can add a diffuser to help with the sun glare

Perfectly worded :applause:
