    BLACK 2008 Audi R8 - Full Paint Correction!

    Finally got my dream car, this beautiful 2008 black Audi R8 as we guys have seen, but this car has never seen any real care when it comes to its paint, it was heavily scratched and swirled and full of defects. I wanted to bring this battered decade old 2008 Audi R8 back to life with a full paint correctionI did a full wash and claybar, then hit it up with a orange cutting pad and compound, then a white polishing pad with a refining polish. This is going to get the car ready for a full paint protection film install and then a ceramic coating which will be coming soon!


    Looks like it just came off the showroom floor!

    Thanks man, yea the paint was never really cared for but now she is like brand new again it's definitely Phantom black but possibly color correction caused that hint of blue !

    Next step is the paint protection film !

    I remember when I saw the first photos/articles on the R8. I loved the design the second I saw it.

    Congrats on a great looking dream car. It looks great now that it is properly polished.
