This striking Vegas Yellow Audi R8 V10+ came in for a freshen up and durable protection.

The car is only a few months old, but swirls and general haze were robbing the paint of it's true gloss and clarity.

The order of the detail.

Wheels, tyres arches cleaned - this will be removed later in the process.
Full Safe wash.
Decontamination - tar removal, iron fallout removal, clay bar and IPA wipe down.
Enhancement Detail - Two stage machine polish.
System X Crystal Ceramic Coating for the paintwork.
System X Diamond coating for the wheels.
System X Glass for the exterior Glass.
System X Interior Protection.
SunTek Ultra Self healing Paint Protection Film applied to carbon fibre and headlights.
Engine bay cleaned and protected.

Onto the car.

Amazing job as always, looks like the swirls were actually changing the colour, looks much more rich after you polished.
I was surprised to see a black spot on the wing after polishing, but then I saw it in a few of the other places. Looks like there may be a sensor spot or cluster of dead pixels on your camera/phone as the black spot always seems to be in the same part of the frame.

Thanks very much :)

Yeah, that little spot has been bugging me for a few weeks now.
I'm due and upgrade on the 25th so I'll be getting a new phone soon :)
