Default 2014 Audi RS5 Opti Coat

Audi RS5 It seems that they are being very poorly taken care of by who ever is detailing them. And while the dealership is happy with sub par work, clearly the customers are not! This would be the 13th one we've done in the last 3 months so were getting very use to seeing these cars. This specific car had only 100 miles on it and it had not been washed since it was purchased. The problems included major "bad car washing" marks, along with random "I wish I knew how to properly buff" marks!
















thanks for looking!!

With today's buffers I don't see how people can mess up paint this bad. I am
Not a professional but I can get awesome results with rupes or even a cyclo.

I agree, I wash all my cars by hand with micro fiber mitts and towels, two bucket method, then polish with orbital buffers. I've been digging the Wolfgang Bros polish lately, very impressed with not only the great shine but the durability. still looks great after several rain storms weeks later.

The Wolfgang bros polish method is worth all the extra time you have to do, on black car it makes the difference in quality and durability.

I use Gloss-it products. I Have steered away from waxes and went with ceramic coatings. Much better durability. You still have to do clay and correction prior to applying the coating. But it looks awesome.
