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.

Beautiful! Too bad you guys aren't close to where I live, because my car is even worst than that! Although NY is not *that* far
