Detailer's Domain: Audi RS4 - Avus Silver - Paint Correction and more.

We haven't seen this car for 2 years and our customer wanted to get it back into shape. A full clean up including wheels pulled off, wheel wells cleaned, brake calipers cleaned and opti coated. The engine was cleaned with Adam's APC and dressed with Adam's In and Out.

A full paint correction was needed, we remove imperfections and bring back the gloss. The last step used would be Sonax Polymer Net Shield.

The interior needed some work as well, carpets were vac'd, cleaned up with Sonax Carpet and Upholstery with the Uber interior brush and Griots, followed by extraction.

3 steps on the leather - including Leather Master Rapid S, Leather Master Vital, and protected with Leather Master Protection Cream.

i really need to get some sonax. my STI builds way too much brake dust.

Sonax is an excellent product which I use, however if you're keeping up with washing regularly you should be able to keep your wheels clean with a bucket of wash soap and water (and save a lot of money). Save the Sonax for long wash intervals when things get really bad.

i used to be vigilant with the cleaning of the car. but it seems my free time has been dwindling.

Pm me how much would it cost to do the same procedure on a e92 m3

orangebarius

looks like a nice way to spend $500...im assuming.

gofast182

For that treatment I'd imagine you still have to go north of that number. DD is the best of the best, though.

orangebarius

yea, probably 750. it's a ton of work. probably took a whole day or more.
