  • 2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder Phantom Black Correction by Richie's Custom Detailing

    I was contacted by my local Audi dealer toperform a new car prep on this 2011 Phantom Black R8 Spyder.

    Customer had already taken delivery one week prior and had not washed the carso I thought it would be a moderate correction since there shouldn't have beenany wash induced marring......boy was I wrong. Turns out the onsite lot jockeysgot a hold of it before delivery.

    What I thought would be a 6-8 hour detail turned into a 14 hour correction.

    8:00am...time to get started:











    Foam gun in action:







    All prior LSP stripped away:



    Inside after the wash and decon the defects were in plain sight:











    Passenger door before:



    Corrected:





    Passenger intake before:







    Corrected:





    More defects:







    Tail lights before:





    Corrected:





    After:





















    Thanks for looking.

    Great work, I'll bet the car came from Audi with some or most of those imperfections. I've seen defects on cars like this at many high end dealerships and there was no way 1 or 2 washes by their "detail guy" caused all of the damage that was done.

    This isn't to say the dealership detail guy does a great job...but I don't think its fair to blame them for everything.

        Great job Richie. It's amazing the condition these cars are in from the dealer but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

          Very nice! What was your process on this car? How did you find the paint - hard, soft, middle of the road?
