2007 Audi S6 V10--Brilliant Black

[Hokie335i]

Hey all!

So I detailed this car for the first time ever about 2 years ago when I was just getting started and now it's back for a proper detail! The car is a beast! 2007 Audi S6 in Brilliant Black. Has a 5.2L V10 engine! The car was set to have a two step detail performed and then get sealed up with Optimum Opti-Seal. The wheels however had a full cleaning and coating put on.

I started with the wheels since they were going to take a while to clean up and prep for the coating. They would be coated with CQuartz DLUX which I love using! They were washed a few times then iron-x'd, clayed, wiped down with eraser and then the coating was done.

Coated and re-installed after curing

While they were curing, I went ahead and did the interior. I used a combination of CG Leather Cleaner, DP Interior Cleaner, CG Fabric Cleaner and Invisible Glass for the majority of it.

Seats were a bit grungy and being white didn't help their case

The kids liked their feet on the backs of the front seats

Seats were cleaned up and deep scrubbed

Steering wheel leather was also cleaned up to return it to it's natural matte look

Next up was the paint. There were lots of scuff marks, water spots, and RIDS all over the car.

Then I went for the second step of CarPro Reflect on a Hyrbid White Pad with my Flex. Color improved a lot with this step!

Unfortunately it had been raining for the last two days of this detail so no outside pictures were able to be taken. I tried to take some though..
