All Season Detail - Salt Removal - 14 Audi RS5

We had a new customer come into the shop with his brand new 2014 Audi RS5 in Missano Red - beautiful!

He wanted to get his car cleaned up because it was new but did not want to do a full correction on it due to the winter we have been having - just clean up the paint and provide some good protection. Once the roads clean up he will be back for a proper correction.

Take a look at our all season detail a great way to maintain the car and keep it looking good and protected.

NICE!

Does the ONR interfere with using a seperate sealant after the wash? and you used this as the lube for the clay bar as well? and were you using this because of the time of year and need for a quick wash, or do you use that as your wash all the time?

ONR does not interfere with sealants or waxes, its great as a clay lube.

ONR is used because of the weather, up until this week its been below 32 degrees F since Dec. ; )

Nice job.
Turned out great!!!!

I detail private jets for living, I know a lot of work goes into a thorough detail like this. It's hard to find people like this. Great job again!!!

How good is the sonax product?

I just finished a permagard job on a aircraft and had 2 bottles leftover. I applied it on my car, has been working really well.

Hey I have a question.. what is the advantage of using Sonax Solvent Resistant Pump Vaporizer ? I see you have some for the Sonax wheel cleaner-- and some you are spraying on the paint.. what is it for/about? (you're using a different brand pump)

and if I used SONAX wheel cleaner - use in Sonax Solvent Resistant Pump Vaporizer?

that is the Kwazar Venus Pro, we are spraying Optimum No Rinse on the car as a clay lubricant, we did not use the Sonax FE Wheel Cleaner on the paint.
