  • 2009 Audi A5

    2009 Audi A5, 23k miles.

    One step exterior, as well as an interior detail.

    Some befores:












    I did a pressure wash rinse on the wheels, tires, and wells.

    I then washed them with Wheel Brightener, All Purpose Cleaner, and then foamed them with Deep Crystal Car Wash, agitated with various brushes, and finall rinsed.

    I gave the body a pressure wash rinse and foamed it with 3oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and 3oz of NXT Generation Car Wash.

    My choice of wash media was a Meguiars wash mitt and a bug sponge.








    I did another pressure wash rinse, then pulled it in the garage and dried with Water Magnets.

    I wiped out the door and trunk jambs, and then did a vac on the trunk.

    I then did a dry brush and vac on the interior, then cleaned all hard surfaces with All Purpose Cleaner Plus , cotton towels, and various brushes.

    I dressed the interior with Quik Interior Detailer and all clear plastic got a #18 - Clear Plastic Detailer treatment.

    The floor mats were dry brushed and vac, then cleaned with terry cloths and All Purpose Cleaner Plus, wiped down with another damp terry cloth, then vacummed again. This pulled some light dirt and soiling out of the mat without doing a full shampoo. I agitated the surface until the towel came up clean and stopped lifting up dirt, which did not take all that long.

    All glass was cleaned inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate.














    The exterior was clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) and #34 - Final Inspection.

    Some areas were polished with #205 - Ultra Finishing Polish with 5.5' LC white pads and my G110. Others were polished with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) with LC green pads and my G110.

    The car was sealed with three coats of Ultimate Quik Wax.

    Tires and wells dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 1:1.

    exhaust pipes were steel wooled and then wiped down with Glass Cleaner Concentrate.

    The front grille was full of nooks and crannies and to avoid getting wax stuck in there I sealed it with Ultimate Quik Wax and used very soft microfibers and detail brushes to make sure it was 100% clean.

            A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                  Very clean, looks great. I can't decide what I like better, the 3 series coupe or this. Was wondering... how do you like your foam gun?

                      I always love reading your write ups Nick! You do such a fantastic job with any vehicles you seem to come in contact with. This Audi is no exception. A neighbor of mine has a 2009 S5 in dark gray. Beautiful cars, and you certainly made this A5 a real show stopper!!

                            Thanks.

                            It took a little over 6 hours.

                            Thanks.

                            I like APC Plus on interiors and APC on exteriors.

                            I do switch from time to time though.

                            I am not a fan of the wheels, it is a nice vehicle though.
