Thanks. I paid $ 500.00 for the detail and the Opti coating. My wheels have never been so clean and he even did inside the exhaust tips. The paint has never looked as good! Highly recommend his work! |

We received a call from a client who had just purchased this RS4 from the States. He had said that the dealership he bought it from had detailed it already but didn't do such a good job. He was looking to have a proper fresh start and had heard about our services. He came in first for an assessment, then booked a date and in it came for a 2 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro.

This was a brand new MK7 GTI that came in for a 2 stage polish + Opti Coat Pro about 2 weeks ago. I had spoken to this client previously regarding his MK6 GTI but that never ended up coming to fruition.

This client contacted me last week mentioning his RS4. It was a lease return that he had purchased but unfortunately the previous owner had not taken good care of it at all. Totally understandable to want to have this beast restored to it's former glory as any car enthusiast would. He wanted it done asap so in it came right away!

We had detailed this client's RS before as well as his 997.2 RS so we were familiar with the paint as well as the condition of the car. Always a pleasure to see this one and work on it as well. The paint was looking just a little rough and we were hoping a 1 stage polish would be enough but in the end we did a non aggressive 2 stage polish which was protected afterwards with Opti Gloss Coat.
As usual, hope you enjoy the pics! Arrival pic https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 After the wheel cleaning and 2 bucket car wash we clayed the paint with the Nano Skin Mitt https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 Brought it in and masked off the rubber trim https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 Then took paint measurements https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 1st stage polish before https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 1st stage polish after with a bit of haze https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 50/50 shot https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 2nd stage polish before https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 2nd stage polish after and the haze all gone https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 And a shot of us polishing https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 Cleaning out the residue from the edge of the stone guard with a tooth pick https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 Then alcohol wipe down https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 Applying Opti Gloss Coat https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 And finally the finished pics. I wish so badly that the sun was out to show just how glossy the paint was. https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 This was the best glossy pic I could take and it didn't even come close https://www.audiforum.ca/attachment....ine=1429461123 Nonetheless I hope you guys enjoyed seeing the process on a rare colored RS. Thanks! |

This client was referred to us by Autolinks as there were a few small imperfections on the hood the customer wanted addressed before applying the PPF.
To be honest I forget what number this was out of the 333 GT Spyders in the world but it was very beautiful none the less. The swirls on this were very light so no before and afters but I hope you still enjoy going through the pics.

A long time customer recently purchased this new 4 GTS from Pfaff and wanted to get the paint protected asap. Well after 1000km in it finally came.
I must say this is one of the most beautifulest 991s we have done this year and we had a great time working on it and admiring all the little details put together on this 4 GTS. Paint wasn't in bad shape so just a quick 1 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro. Enjoy!
