Detailer's Domain: Epic Audi S4 Widebody Paint Correction/PPF Install
This car belongs to a customer that has always brought his cars to the next level, this is a 2002 Audi S4 Avant that was converted to an RS4 using all factory parts coming from Germany. Besides the body work the engine and trans are from the B5 RS4. The list goes on......
So what did he need done after the tuning shop and body shop the car needed to look perfect. A full paint correction and clear film install was done. We wrapped: 1. A pillars 2. Side skirts 3. Hood 4. Full Front Fenders 5. Rear flares 6. Top of rear bumper 7. Full Front bumper 8. Gas Cap 9. Strip in front of the sunroof 10. Door Handles The total time this took was 72 hours with the 3 of us, me, Dan, and Tommy. Late nights for 3 days straight to get this car done in time for his road trip. What was done - Exterior - Wheels were prepped and cleaned - Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down - Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash - Wash down and rinsed - Door jambs were cleaned up - Clayed - Dried - Paint inspected and measured - Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed with Adam's Undercarriage Spray - Tires dressed - Measured Paint Depth - Masking - 3 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish, Menzerna PO85RD) - Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight - Swissvax Crystal Rock - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned Products used: (feel free to click the link below for more info) Exterior: Adam's Car Wash Einszett W99 P21S Total Auto Wash (engine, presoak, wheel wells, tires) Uber Yellow Wash Sponge Uber Clay Bar kit with Optimum No Rinse Einszett Spray Wax Meguiars M105 Menzerna Super Intensive Polish Menzerna PO85RD Swissvax Crystal Rock Wheels/Tires Uber Wheel/Wheel Well/Tire/Engine Kit Tools: Infratech 5300 Fenix TK11 Brinkmann Flex 3403 Makita Metabo The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Brushes Cam Spray Pressure Wash and Foam Canon Attachment Take a look Before Wash This car was washed over 5 times to remove the glaze off it. First we used Adam's Car Wash then presoaked again with W99. Insane amount of glaze..Take a look at all that glaze off gassing after a few washes. Another pre-soak with W99 Rinsing Clay After rinse and clay Masking Measuring the Paint Before shots of the car prior to paint correction (this is pretty much the complete car, every panel as you will see is this bad after all the glaze was removed, can you say IMPERFECTIONS!) Action Shots Polishing the trunk lid Inspecting the paint with the Fenix Great shot of the front fender jeweled out and door with PO85RD After shots Final rinse before the clear film install (some pretty cool shots) Clear Film Install..... Removing the front grill and lights Random shots ' Final Touches After shots Just to recap... Before After (Permission was granted by the owner to post photos and write up) |

Really one of the most incredible transformations Ive ever seen. I'm also curious about what type of protection you use over the clear bra . Im assuming you used the crystal rock seeing as how u listed it, I always thought that it would dry out the film, but if you did it i trust your judgment

Amazing job. I also have been not sure about the ability to wax and polish a car with film on it but seems easily doable. Not sure how much this project costed the owner but would love to know.

Great PPF job. Didn't know the film was available in rolls large enough to cover the hood without a seam.

The amount of glaze is amazing. He was going for world's largest doughnut?
