Been a member on here for some time, I’m a full time detailer that covers the whole of the UK,
I know Joe from Superior Shine as we share the same company name (mine ends with co.uk not .com)
I never seem to have the time to post, but thought you guys might like to see my latest detail as it’s a bit special
So to the car
Audi Quattro SWB (Original UK Press Car) which still belongs to Audi Sport UK
The engine was shot, however the current custodian of the car has rebuilt the engine from the ground up, replacing every nut and bolt with genuine VAG stuff.
However the exterior and interior where looking very tired with over 20 years of grime and several hundred press drivers through it.
It was actually used in the below TV show a few years ago before the engine gave up, the current custodian told me when it was delivered he was amazed it made it round the track at all.
The body work is manly Kevlar and you can see the weave in the finish which is nice,
Paint wise it was not to bad as it has always been garaged and wrapped up in cotton wool, I will stop talking and let the pics do the rest.
When i arrived
dash cleaning
Inside done (yes it's all 20 years old)
where it sleeps at night
Swirls
Holograms
So thats about 30 hours in on the paint,
now onto the seats, i had to take these away with me.
Audi Sport UK said "see what you can do, we don't think they will clean up good enough. We might have to get Recaro to make us some new ones"
To say they are happy with them is an under statement.
7 hours on the drivers seat
5 on the passengers seat
3 hours on the door cards
3 hours on the rear bench
Are you ready for the seats (and yes this is the only way they would clean we tried every thing)
half done
One done one to go, then they all had leather cleaner worked in
I will get more pics up when the car is finished (still loads to do)
All comments welcome (good or bad
