Audi S5 Single Day Detail.

[Scrooge]

This amazing car come to me on Saturday, to say the paint wasn't looking it's best is an understatement. The paint was a £3.5k option when new and I really couldn't see why until I had finished. The finished colour was just simply jaw dropping.

The car...

This was, the worst damage after some bird dropping issues, it was deep scratches so i'd tackle that later with some careful wetsanding...

The car wasn't exactly filthy so getting it clean wasn't much of a challenge, this was the dirtiest patch of the car...

I started on the wheels, using AF wheel cleaner with a few brushes then followed by some iron x (this required a few hits and a fair bit of agitating)

The whole bottom of the car,door shuts, under bonnet etc was attacked with AF citrus, rinsed off then foamed for good measure..

It was then washed with AF lather then decontaminated using the usual three step method (ironx, tardis, bilt hamber clay), being parked under a tree certainly hadn't done the paintwork any favours..

With the amount of work ahead I didn't get many process pictures just befores and afters...

Another Brillo pad fix..

Loads of marks like this but strangely only to the rear of the car..

The paint really did look lifeless and dull..

I gave the leather a quick brush and clean and all the plastics run cleaned and run over with some interior detail

Exhausts were sorted with AF mercury and some elbow grease, tyres were dressed endurance.

Anyway the finished pictures after cleansing and topped off with a couple of layers of Gally's special wax...the colour was just simply amazing in the sunlight, I just couldn't stop looking at it

What is the colour called Ant?

Good work, but its merlin purple or nout for me on fast Audi's

 

[Scrooge]

I'll have to ask mate as I forgot but it blows any black i've ever seen out of the water. The sun really did make it look stunning.

​Thanks I would love to do a Merlin purple!

 

[Chapppers11]

Great job! Lovely car as well.

 

[chris_p]

Good job man.

I love these cars, they're stunning and make a beautiful noise, especially with a tasty exhaust. Aesthetically, they blow the bmw 335 out of the water!

Lovely! Tom's dad's IIRC?

Thanks it is mate.

I will be around mate, i'll stay at home, i'll get a bbq going with some beers so the turf will go down all wonky.

 

[Gally]

Simply epic work Ant. That looks truly superb! You can see why clean freaks simply cannot own Black cars! They send me insane!

The colour is Phantom Black fyi. Awesome colour!

 

[Budgie]

That looks epic guys.

Nice work.

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks Kev, I liked the wax a lot btw

It was only me working on this one unfortunately, Rob was busy playing with himself. Skiver.

 

[Tom]

Its either Mamba or Phantom.

​Stunning work. So so pleased.

 

[Toby]

Nice one Ant.
