Detailer's Domain: Epic Audi S4 Widebody Paint Correction/PPF Install

This car belongs to a customer that has always brought his cars to the next level, this is a 2002 Audi S4 Avant that was converted to an RS4 using all factory parts coming from Germany. Besides the body work the engine and trans are from the B5 RS4. The list goes on......

So what did he need done after the tuning shop and body shop the car needed to look perfect. A full paint correction and clear film install was done.

Wash
This car was washed over 5 times to remove the glaze off it.
First we used Adam's Car Wash then presoaked again with W99.

















Insane amount of glaze..Take a look at all that glaze off gassing after a few washes.


Another pre-soak with W99



Rinsing




Clay




After rinse and clay
