    Default Mirror Detailing - Audi A8 - Correction

    Did this car over the weekend with Matt(Southrnstyle) from Fast Eddy's Detailing. Customer wanted to get his wife's fully decked out A8 corrected. The car over all wasnt bad...since he just let go of his last detailer, but for any detailer who knows...Audi's are notorius for rock hard clear coats an this one was no expection.

    So before washing...




    Checking the paint...




    Notice the large circle in the paint...last detailer was using a wool pad and had something caught in it...so these circiles were in a few of the panels and very deep.



    Sun was down by the time we were done...but hopefully I can get some more in the sun when I get there today.

    Afters:










    Interior:




    Now the better reflection shots...

    lol I put them at the bottom just to see if anyone would notice...and if you were not thrilled with detailing aspects of what I do...then what I see would.

    ask and you shall recieve. only ones I have at the moment. dont mind Matt on the bike though he was trying to live out a fantasy.



    All I know about the bike is that so far it has an aftermarket exhaust on it and is supposedly 1 of 3 in the US.

    Roughly 1500 sq ft. He's still not done with it though. But as soon as he is your going to see alot more individual pictures of each of his cars. also after we did his 34' Cobalt Fast Boat today we pretty much are.
