Title: Detail My Ride - Suzuka Grey Audi TTRS
Post by: Greeners on May 28, 2012, 09:48:56 pm
Hi Guys,

This stunning 2011 Suzuka Grey was previously detailed by us at the clients home last year, however the owner was keen to have the vehicle topped up and I had finally convinced him to have the wheels refinished in Anthracite Metallic.

We collected the car from the owners home, and overall was very clean, the wheels arrived looking a little something like this:

The car was then placed onto axle stands, and the wheels sent to be painted. The Wheels were then lightly polished and sealed using Auto Finesse Mint Rims before being fitted back to the car, with the manufacturers recommended torque settings.

The rest of the car was given a light detail due to the owner keeping the car very clean indeed. Some light contamination was removed during the wash process using Iron X/Tardis/Clay:

The paintwork was then lightly polished via Lime Prime (3M Yellow Pad) on DA before being sealed with Auto Finesse Tough Coat. Glass cleaned, exhausts cleaned up etc and interior given a once over also.

Leaving the car looking a little something like this:
