Audi S5 Paint Correction Detail

Long Island Detailers are a dime a dozen…

This particular client was looking for someone who was different and had an eye for perfection. He found the right man for the job. The car was recently purchased as a certified pre-owned through an Audi dealership. Dealerships are notorious for giving the “quick detailing special.” They glazed the entire vehicle before selling which essentially hid all of the scratches, swirls, and deep sanding marks. It looks as though they had tried to remove all of the deep scratches by filling them and sanding only to then fail and gave up. There were plenty of sanding marks and scratches all over. We scheduled an appointment to get as close to 100% correction as possible. There were some limitations with deep damage on both bumpers but I was prepared to do my best.

This was the general condition of the paint. This Audi S5 was definitely not looking it’s best.

Got to work immediately by pre-treating the entire car in a deironizer which will decontaminate the surface and dissolve all iron particles. This process is crucial prior to paint correction as it ensures the surface is completely clean, sterile, and free from particles that can scratch while buffing. The wheels also received similar treatment which broke down the difficult-to-clean german brake dust.

After washing, degreasing, and decontaminating the car, I began to prep for paint correction and went to work. This particular Audi was blessed to have the new ceramic clear coat which is a real pain to correct but I managed to get very reasonable results. Much better than how the dealership left him. Sorry for the lack of photographs but it was difficult to get the full 50/50 on camera.

In the end this was a very successful detail and the client was pleased with the results. He can finally enjoy hes new car and start fresh. He shopped around for the right detailer only to find me, someone who is very particular about every fine little detail. He came to the right man and his new Audi could not look any better.
