Tru Shine and Unique Mobile Detailing, Audi R8 Spyder Protection Detail


Tru Shine and Unique Mobile Detailing, Audi R8 Spyder Protection Detail

We arrived to this Audi R8 V10 spyder which was scheduled for a basic Protection detail. This is where we give it a thorough foam bath, clean the wheels, clay bar, and seal the paint, seal the wheels, and wipe down and vacuumed the inside. This car is not a garage queen and gets plenty of time on the roads. So Lets begin.....

We start off with cleaning the wheels.

First the pre-rinse

We used Sonax Full Effect on the wheels, it is a pH neutral wheel cleaner that attacks the iron particles that have been embedded into the wheels, it will react and turn a red color which lets you know when it's working.

Apologize for the disturbance but the R8 detailing is truly awesome..Good thing to know that there are Audi parts being distributed to other vehicles as song as they can directly fit, there would be no problem at all. But as far as i know the spyder is one of the vehicle that is very detailed in terms of the exterior yet the performance is still seen on it....
