Got a call from a good client who wanted to treat his dad's Audi R8 to a good detail. He knew it had some swirls and fine and medium scratches and wanted to really make it look like new for him for a present. We had recently done our Signature and Paint Correction process on his 2008 Mini Cooper and knew what the Gloss-It polishes could do.

I showed up and found the car to not really be in to bad of condition but under directly full sun I could see the signs of swirls and the fine to medium scratches.

We started out foaming the vehicle to start the cleaning process. Once we had it double washed we performed a double clay treatment using the Gloss It Green Claybar. There was a lot of tree sap and other contamination on the surface. Once we had the car rewashed and dried I could really see the damage in the paint.

I got out the Flex machine and put on a red Meguiars foam pad and grabbed some of the Evolution Cut Gloss It Polish and worked the car from top to bottom. The flex did an excellent job and I had the car swirl free in about 40 mins. Once I took the Evolution Cut off the vehicle I applied the Signature Gloss on the vehicle and finished up with a top layer of Gloss Finish. Cure time was less than 15 mins and we took off the polishes and finalized the paint with an application of the Gloss Enhancer.

On the interior we did a PH-Clean using the Gloss It Satin Leather Cleaner on all the vinyls, plastics, rubbers and leather items in the vehicles. For the plastic, rubbers and vinyls we applied the Gloss It T.R.V. and for the seats and other leather items we applied a coat of the Satin Leather Polish.

Finished up the exterior with an application of the Signature Gloss Tire Dressing on the tires.

Enjoy the shots....
