Audi S4/RS4 Widebody - Prep - Paint Correction

Much like the other one we did early this year.....

This car belongs to another customer that has always brought his cars to the next level, this is a 2002 Audi S4 Avant that was converted to an RS4 using all factory parts coming from Germany. Not sure if he has changed his mod list yet but I believe by the time this is done it will be 600-700 crank hp!

After the body panels were installed it went in for paint....below is what we needed to do

We wrapped:

1. Side skirts
2. Top of rear bumper
3. Full Front bumper
4. Gas Cap
5. Door Handles

The total time this took was 50 hours with the 3 of us, Dan, Tom, and I. Long days and nights to prep this one for H20.

What was done -
Exterior

- Wheels were prepped and cleaned
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed
- Tires dressed
- Masking
- 3 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish, Menzerna PO85RD)
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Applied and Removed Wax
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned
- Engine detailed

Interior -
- seats were removed

Tidying up the interior - we collected loose items and put them in a box

Front Seats were removed ....Lots of dirt and grime under them



After a vac we proceeded to clean up the upholstery with Sonax Upholstery Cleaner


Dirt picked up from the microfiber


After shot of the carpets under the front seats


Sonax Dashboard cleaner was used in the interior plastic trim


After Interior Shots


Exterior - not much to show it was brought right over after it was in the body shop...
Before


Before shots of the engine



Engine Clean Up





After shots of the engine

Car Wash - Foaming it down - Rinse - Clay








Paint Measured - Trim masked


Car needed to be finished down - we went with M105, SIP, PO85RD - this was a pretty hard color to show paint defects...









50/50 shots you can tell the paint cleaned up extremely well - again a hard color to show

Shots outside after compounding and polishing and rinse

That was really amazing! What's a ball park cost on doing something like that (without the paint protection)?
