Audi S5 Cabriolet in Sprint Blue

Hi guys, thanks for popping along..
How long has it been since my last write up? Too long! There is so much going on at Miglior at the moment I have regretfully had to sideline doing some write ups. I do try and post a few photos per day on Facebook twitter and Instagram. We have around 7000 followers on the various networks now so please join us to see daily action!

So onto the Audi S5! This is a lovely low milage example, but it needed some attention. It was purchased off Big sam Aka Sam Allardyce by my customer.

It was booked for:

- Full correction Detail
- Wheel Refurbishment
- Roof Detail and treatment
- Full interior detail and leather detail
- Fitment of replacement parts etc to bring to brand new
- Engine Bay detail

Here are some pictures on arrival:

Sun cream marks! You'd think something as innocent as sun cream would be harmless, but nope, it can do some pretty ugly things to your car!

Interior parts that are scratched

Shiny and dirty leather

Wheel nut covers looking worse for wear after months of acid wheel cleaners

Dirty engine bay

So on with the job and we started with the roof cleaning

Then onto a thorough clean on the engine bay

Then we started on an exterior clean

Iron filing decontamination..

Fuel cap filler clean…

Once we had cleaned, clayed and finished up with a super clean car, we dried the car off with compressed air and soft drying towels

Fabric roof extracted

Once we were done drying we moved the car onto our vehicle lift and removed the wheels.
Here you can see the wheel being removed on wheel stud guides

Wheels removed ready for refurbishment

Paint thickness being measured prior to paint correction

Some examples of the swirled paint

Finger print marks in suncream

After

Fine details being corrected

More paint correction Pictures..

A very deep mark worked out to leave: A) a safe amount of clear coat B) A near perfect surface

Some more swirl marks added in with a deep horizontal scratch. Again this needed a lot of attention to remove it safely

Moving around the car now…

Here you can just see some evidence of finger print marks from the suncream etching. These were wet sanded out to leave a perfect flat surface with safe amount of clear coat left.

After

Another deep scratch

Before…

During and IPA wipe down

The paint correction all done at this point. Now time for a thorough dust down and another IPA wipe down

Having a go at the sun cream etching on the black plastic windscreen surround

Now time to tackle those grubby exhausts!

Time to get the wheels back on!

And replace all those nasty wheel nut covers and centre caps

Once the wheels were back on, and the car was wiped down, we started protecting the vehicle. This included a Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro polish then Swissvax Crystal Rock Wax application.

Out with the Master Kit bag!

Wax being applied

And buffed off

After the first coat of Swissvax Crystal Rock was buffed off, we set about the interior!

Not only did it need a thorough clean, the customer wanted me to change some parts inside too.

Also the interior drivers door card wasn't seated correctly so all new clips were ordered and fitted.

We replaced the drivers door handle so this was a door card off job..

Once that was swapped and fitted we also replaced this trim piece.

Then we started cleaning and protecting all the leather and interior surfaces

Interior after looking much fresher and like new!

Then we dressed the engine bay

The roof was then Nano Coated!

Here is some beading from the roof fabric!

Little touches like replacing this was a hit with the owner

Beading from 3 coats of Swissvax Crystal Rock

Some After Shots now!

So after 49 hours of hard graft… this Audi S5 was now a fine example! The owner was over the moon, as was I as I watched it drive off looking awesome!

Thanks for reading guys… it was a long one!!!
