Dealership attacks a brand new 2014 Audi S4!
Dealership attacks a brand new 2014 Audi S4!
Got your attention ; ). Here we have a brand new 2014 Audi S4 that came to us for new car prep which turned into a full paint correction, Opti Coat, and Xpel Ultimate Installation. What we thought would be an easy routine job turned into much more. The dealer induced a lot of linear scratches from doing the customer a favor and removing snow off the car at deliver, unfortunately (I see this a lot) the dealer delivered the car at night....... Please join us for another dealer fix write up. I'll let the photos do the talking now. Exterior - Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes - Tires were spritzed down with Adam’s All Purpose Cleaner and washed down - Wheel wells were cleaned up - Washed with Adam's Car Wash - Decon with Auto Finesse Iron Out - Wash down and rinsed - Door jambs were cleaned up - Nano Scrub AutoScrub - Dried - Tires dressed - Masking - Paint Measurement - Compound - Menzerna FG400 - Final Polish - Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6 - Last step - Opticoat - Inspection with Fenix, Brinkmann, and natural sunlight - Wheel wells were cleaned - polished - Opti Coat - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned - Windows were auto scrubed, cleaned, and sealed Products used: Adam's Car Wash Auto Finesse Iron Out Stoner's Tarminator Auto Finesse Oblitarate Sonax Multi Star Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner NanoSkin AutoScrub System Menzerna FG400 Sonax Perfect Finish Opti Coat Adam's Super VRT Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner Adam's Metal Polish 1 Adam's Metal Polish 2 Tools used Uber Wool Wash Mitt Uber Quick Detail MF Towels Uber All Purpose MF Towels Rupes LHR75E Rupes BigFoot LHR 21ES Random Orbital Polisher Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES Random Orbital Polisher Uber Buffing Pads Meg's MF Cutting Pad Defelsko Paint Meter Fenix TK35 Kranzle Pressure Washer Uber Foam Canon 2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies Adam's Firehose Nozzle Metro Air Force Blaster Dealer installed - due to snow removal ![]() A closer look - these marks were on the roof, hood, trunk ![]() ![]() ![]() Before ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Various scratches/imperfections ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wheels ![]() Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner and various brushes used to clean up the OEM Peelers ![]() Full prep photos missing due to the cold weather sorry guys Light scratches around the door handles ![]() After ![]() B pillars a common issue with BMW, Audi, VW ![]() After much better after we hit it with Menzerna FG400 and finished it out with Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6 ![]() Before shot on the roof ![]() After ![]() Before shot on the roof ![]() ![]() After ![]() Imperfections on the rear trunk ![]() ![]() After ![]() ![]() Xpel Ultimate Pre Cut Kit installation ![]() ![]() Exhaust tips before ![]() ![]() After some Auto Finesse Mercury Metal Polish ![]() ![]() Afters shots ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The old and new ![]() ![]() ![]() A drastic improvement over the what the dealer delivered. ![]() ![]() Hope you enjoyed this one. |
