LSN Autodetailing - 2013 Audi R8 v10

[LSNAutoDetailing]

First detail since settling in AZ! Customer has a 2013 v10 Audi R8 which he drives three or four days to work.
Mainly on fair weather days, no rain etc... When it's parked, it's in it's own spot underground and covered.

The original owner did a full wrap of clear-bra PPF with either Sun Tech or Expel (self-healing). Thus the paint was in great shape, overall PPF looked good and the coating on it was still holding up, but the car needed some serious TLC.
- Wheels were pretty gritty
- Hard water spots near the ground effects, all jambs, front plastic and rear plastics. Under the hood (rear) was peppered with water spots. All the glass, carbon fiber and metal supports had hard water spots.
- Interior had Arizona Accent all over it, and needed TLC as well.

- Only one part of the rear hood into the deck lid had some swirls and rids, thus I told him we'll use a fine polish and go over the back of the vehicle and accept our results as PPF can have diminished returns. He was fine with that and was good with the vehicle over all not needing to be polished. All in all, we put six solid hours into this baby with it only being a brisk AZ 104 degrees out.:)

Here is the process and products:

Exterior:
- Griot's Heavy Duty Wheel cleaner, wheel woolies, daytona speed brush
- CarPro Spotless on all water spots (worked great!!) - Took a few passes, but I was entirely thrilled with the product. I varied from the instructions on the bottle a little and got great results.
- Iron-X
- Foam cannon, 2bm, Megs Hyperwash, Puretec Spotless Water Filtration System, Chenille Wash Mitts
- Blow Dry
- Pinnacle Fine Poly Clay / D114 Clay Lube
- Griots G15, BOSS Yellow, BOSS Perfecting Cream (for scratches on the back decklid)
- CarPro Erasure wipedown - entire vehicle
- CarPro Reload applied to entire vehicle including wheels
- D114 - Door jambs, bonnet, Engine Cleaning/wipedown
- BLACKFIRE AIO for all plastic parts under bonnet and hood
- Pinnacle Crystal Mist for all components and carbon fiber under the hood
- Pinnacle Krystal Glass Cleaner with Water Repellent
- BLACKFIRE AIO for tires
- Pinnacle Exhaust Cleaner / LC Scrubber


Interior
- Metrovac
- McKee's 37 Fast Interior Cleaner = Nick, this was the first time using this, Interior Gal LOVED IT!!! We used it on everything in the interior!
- McKee's 37 Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner
- Leitz soft optics cloth and Fast Interior Cleaner for all optics
- q-tips, q-tips, q-tips, q-tips and MORE q-tips!

Owner was thrilled and now has referred us to friends with 911's and other Audi's.

Enjoy!

Is the Arizona accent fine sand or dust?

Great work Paul! You made it look brand new! How long did it take you?

I can't believe you detailed in this hot and humid weather LOL!

Mind if I ask how you got this customer? That's a pretty cool car!

Very nice seems like your settling in.Now you laugh and call back home in Jan when its 10 below and your grilling stakes outside.

[Hammer77]

Top notch work on one hell of a ride!

[LSNAutoDetailing]

Thanks Marc, it took us 6 hours. We got the client the best way, via referral.

Yup, pretty much. Permeates everything.

Thanks everyone... I got a very well driven 911 and a very worn 2013 Audi TT lined up.

[brettS4]

How do you detail the badge where the rings interconnect? I have to admit I have a helluva time with my own car trying to get that looking good.

Thanks...
How? Gingerly.... use the end of detailing stick Lake Country Detail Sticks, detailing sticks, motorcycle detail sticks, foam detail sticks (http://www.autogeek.net/detail-sticks.html) wrapped with a MicroFiber, CarPro MF Sued works best along with soaking the tip of the MF with some D114, and gently get it into the tight areas. For really tight areas, use the same technique but clip the tip off a q-tip.

Our normal protocol is, when I'm done with the big stuff, Interior Gal goes around the entire car with the D114, CarPro cloth, sticks and q-tips. Being a "fine-artist" she can work really tight spots and get the tight detailing stuff done. She has an eye for fine-art and intricate detail work.

The thing really working against us that day was time and temperature. By the 6th hour we were really trying to get every minute detail to perfection, but at 104 degrees, we were dropping perspiration on areas we just finished. We went through an entire case (24) of water and 6 pack of Gatorade. I'm willing to wager we missed something minute, but the owner was happy.

[Kamakaz1961]

Very nice!

[Sizzle Chest]

Excellent work on a really cool car!
