The Ultimate Luxury Sports Sedan Made "Better than New" - 2016 Audi RS7 - CQuartz Finest, DLUX, Forte
This brand new vehicle was brought to us almost immediately after it was delivered. The owner wanted to make sure this car was properly protected from the very start. He opted to go with our Advanced Paint coating, Wheel Coating, Glass Coating, and Plastic Coating for all around coverage on the exterior of this gorgeous car.
I had asked the owner to instruct the dealership not to wash, detail, or prep the exterior of the car in any way upon arrival therefore the paint was swirl free as any new car should be. This allows us to spend more time focusing on removing almost every individual imperfection in the paint to provide an almost flawless finish.
Process
Tires: Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner & Tire Brush
Wheels: Sonax Full Effect, Citrus Wash, Variety of brushes
Foam Pre-Soak: CarPro Iron X Snow Foam
Wash: Citrus Wash and DI Rethickulous Wash Mitt
Chemical Decontamination: Tarminator & Iron X
Mechanical Decontamination: NanoSkin Fine Grade Mitt
Inspect vehicle and document paint thickness readings
Mask off areas of concern with CarPro Tape
Spot Correction of Deeper Defects: Shine Supply Flat Top on MF Cutting Pads via Rupes LHR21ES & LHR75E
Polish: Meguiar's M205 on LC Crimson Pads via Rupes LHR21ES & LHR75E
Solvent Wipe: CarPro Eraser
Paint Protection: CarPro CQuartz Finest
Wheel Protection: CarPro CQuartz Finest
Plastic Restorer & Protection: CarPro CQuartz DLUX
Glass Protection: CarPro CQuartz Forte
Tire Dressing: CarPro PERL
Before
The vehicle had accumulated a fair amount of dirt from its journey from Germany
Greasy residue staining the paint beneath both mirrors. Likely some residual oils or something that had dripped during transportation.
Hard water spots were present here and there.
The wheels were already quite dirty in just the few miles that had been put on the car (63 miles to be exact)
During
As usual, we begin with cleaning the wheels and tires. The wheels are soaked with a pH neutral wheel cleaner to begin breaking down any dirt and grime.
Tires are scrubbed to remove any dirt or dressings that may have been on the surface.
Wheels were carefully cleaned using soft boar's hair brushes
The car was the soaked with CarPro IronX Snow Foam to help cut through dirt and grime, while also breaking up any waxes or oils that may be on the paint.
The car was pulled inside after our wash & decontamination process to be inspected for defects. Defects were marked with red dots.
Tracers, or sanding marks, indicating a small spot repair may have been made in this location.
Damage most likely caused from removing protecting shipping wrap
Several deeper scratches were found. These were likely created during transportation.
After a thorough inspection, I began removing the deeper defects. Here are several before/after shots of some of the defects I removed.
