Audi RS5 detailing
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 9:12 pmI (Envy Valeting) was very pleased to be invited by a Detailing World member to detail his new Audi RS5 prior to collection. Audi Poole were very accomadating in allowing me to do the car offsite, and could not have been more helpful 
The car was pretty much untouched (as requested) before I commenced work.
Basically the RS5's exterior was treated like all other cars I detail and subject to the full wash, clay, cleanse and seal regime. Wheels 1st with AS Smart wheels, and then given a final clean with Wolfs Chemicals clean and protect.
The protective coverings were removed and the car was pre-soaked with mild TFR, rinsed, then washed with the traditional 2 bucket method, and then covered with Autobrite's Purple rain....plenty of fallout!
Door shuts etc given a dose of mild APC and agitated with Envy brushes whilst the purple rain did its thing. The purple rain step was repeated on this car.
The car was rinsed off at high pressure then washed again with TBM and Gold class shampoo.
Ready to go indoors....
Once dried off the car was clayed with Dodo Juice gentle grey clay, and I found 2 spurious marks on the bonnet and a scuff so the bonnet was machined with S17+ and a yellow megs pad.
The car was then cleansed with Jeffs Acrylic prime via the PC and a megs yellow pad. Followed on by 3 repeated coats of Jett, buffing off in between coats at 30 min intervals.
Interior wise the cardboard and plastic coverings were removed carefully and the car was hoovered.
Mats and interior carpets were given 2 coats of supagard (as I do with all new car preps)
Leather was treated to a coat of Swissvax leather glaze (again something you will have seen me do on new car preps)
Tyres were dressed with a long life tyre dressing, glass cleaned inside and out with an alcohol based glass cleaner, exhaust tips buffed with NXT metal polysh.
Exterior was given a final buff off with Jeffs Gloss, time for the after pics...
Thanks for looking.
