THE OFFICIAL AutoLavish Ongoing Detail Thread - Updated every few days with new cars!

This is a great Idea. You may want to link some of your other posts that were not part of the ongoing list here as well. That way they are represented correctly. Or you could just repost them here. But I think a link to them would be just as good. Mailnly for archivale data. Man you guys do some great work. One day I will have a car worthy of your cleaning godliness.

Done! Thanks for the excellent tip!

2008 Audi R8


This has to be one of the best build sports cars ever. It feels so very solid, precise, crisp. Things fit beautifully, everything feels solid and finished. The owner of this 2008 R8 contacted us to prep this for a sale to make way for a new-er R8 Time was limited to a budget, so we would have to keep any paint correction to a one step. On a black car, this means low correction or buffer trails, so we would have to choose wisely. This also means we would not be able to take many pictures

Before:

We start with the P21S Total Auto Wash on the engine bay:

... and rinsed off after lots of agitation:

Wheels treated with P21S Wheel Gel:

Interior after thorough vacuuming and Einsett:

Washing via foam gun:

You can tell the is no protection on this paint by how much the water adheres to the finish instead of beading:

Next we polished the vehicle to help minimize swirl marks and bring back it's lost luster, and here is the sole picture of the polishing phase:

Engine after:

More afters:

Thanks for looking!

Dude, that R8 looks great after! And nice to see an owner actually use it. There was a lot of dirt in that interior. Too bad they didn't add any polish to protect it better before you guys came along. :lol:
