I was very excited for the job that we had scheduled today. A brand new, Moonlight Blue Metallic Audi S6 pulled into the garage bright and early this morning. It was booked for our New Car Prep Service as well as the Opti-Guard treatment. We quickly realized that there were some dealer installed swirls and holograms that needed to be dealt with, so we got to work. It was 19 degrees and cloudy this morning so we didn't take any pictures of the wash process since we didn't want to be outside any longer than we had to. We started with the wheels using an ONR mixture to clean them, followed by Meguiars APC+ to cleanthe tires and wheel wells. The tires and wells were also dressed with MEguiars Hyperdressing. The vehicle was also washed with ONR and quickly dried with an Autoality WW towel. We check out the lower panels, and there weren't any embedded contaminants so we didn't need to clay on this vehicle, so we moved right to the polishing. After a little testing we ended up using Menzerna PowerFinish on a Tangerine HT pad with a Meguiars G110 DA. This gave us almost perfect correction, 95%+ of the swirls and scuffs were removed. Here is how the paint looked in the sun. Sorry no before pics of the swirls, they weren't crazy, but they were there. After all the paint was corrected we wiped it down with CarPro Eraser to prep it for the Opti-Guard application. We then applied Opti-Guard to the paint, wheels, trim, and glass. As everyone knows Opti-Guard gives an amazing gloss to the paint, especially when it has recently been buffed closed to perfection. We really love this color because in the bright sunlight it looks blue but in the shade it looks almost black and has some great depth and reflective properties. To finish the detail off we cleaned the glass inside and out, polished and sealed the exhaust tips, and did a quick interior detail. Here is how the car turned out. As you can see in the last set of pictures, the paint goes from a light slate blue, to a deep blue, and then almost black. We loved working on this vehicle and are very happy with the results, as was the customer. Thanks for taking the time to check out our write up, and we look forward to your feedback!
Haven't seen you post for a while . . . . . . nevertheless that is some fantastic work. Glad that you are keeping busy! Don't forget to break out those heaters LoL. I feel i get cold here and it only gets down to the low 60's sometimes high 50's LoL. PM me your site info again . . . .
Beautiful car, nice work. I am assuming those are the winter wheels, which does make it seem very understated.. A car that really flies under the radar unless you know what it is! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Seems that unless you have an RS model, all S Audis are quite understated. It's tough to differentiate an S-Line A4 with a S4...
Thats the point, sline is a package that gives the models the look of an s without the price tag, kind of like bmws m sport package. The only thing Audi leaves off of the s line package is the silver mirrors. My dad has the new a6, loved the look of the s6 but didn't want to pay for the performance he was never going to use to an untrained eye these cars look the same, Audi adds the silver mirrors and BMW adds the little side scuttle. Most never know the difference! The performance of the new a6 is beyond phenomenal, I can't even imagine what the s6 is like let alone the rs6 they have got to be whicked. personally, maybe I'm biased but I love audis subtle approach to their performance cars. Those in the know "know" no flashyness going on. Call me crazy but m3's always look a tad "flashy" to me. I rather have the subdue look of the s and rs line. Like the tt-rs, I think that is one of the most gorgeous cars Audi has ever designed, after the R8 of course ohh, to the op ; gorgeous work!
