Audi B7 RS4 Convertible Paintwork & Tan Leather Treatment

Apr 28, 2011   //   by Adam   //   Portfolio  //  No Comments

Recently I had the pleasure of working on this fine 414bhp monster – the Audi B7 RS4 Convertible with very rare Audi Exclusive tan leather recaros. The plan was to fully decontaminate the vehicle and then apply some protection, followed by cleaning and conditioning the leathers and the surround interior.

The package performed on this vehicle was Silver + Full Interior Detail.

On Arrival

Closer Inspection

A bit grubby in places but nothing out of the ordinary other than the scuff on the mirror – sorry no after photo but was removed fully by the clay bar.

First up were the alloy wheels:

Alloys Before

The alloys were treated to a non-acidic wheel cleaner, which was agitated with various brushes to aid removal of road related grime, as well as carbon deposits from the brake pads – they were then sealed with a hi-temp high durability wheel wax.

The tyres were cleaned and dressed also later in the detail.

Alloys After

Next up was the exhaust.

Exhaust Before

The exhausts were treated with wire wool and degreaser to remove the more stubborn carbon deposits – they were then polished to a high finish and protected with a hi-temp wax.

Exhausts After

After the vehicle had been washed in the usual manner (snow foam, 2 bucket method, etc.) it was time to clay…

Mostly sap from the bonnet… although!:

A few nasties from the lower halves of the vehicle.

Once decontaminated I then set about doing the interior.

Interior After

After completing the interior I continued to prepare the exterior of the vehicle with a pre-wax cleanser to improve the finish and also create a perfect base for Valentines Concours to bond to – additionally the glass was treated and rubbers/plastics dressed.

The Results

Roof off I hear you cry?! Would be rude not to…

An absolute pleasure throughout, thank you very much for looking and reading…
