New Matte Daytona Grey Audi RS6 Avant Protection Detail

[chappers]

Hi all, a few weeks ago I was called up by Audi Tetbury to carry out a new car protection detail on a brand new matte Daytona Grey Audi RS6 Avant!


The car had just about every option ticked, with a few listed below, resulting in a list price entering triple figures! :doublesho


£5k matte grey paint
Front and rear cameras
Full LED Headlights
Self-closing doors and tailgate
Carbon fibre everywhere
21" Diamond-cut wheels
Interior carbon fibre and entry lights
Performance exhaust system
Destricted to 189mph and 580bhp
And many more!


The main reason I was called in was for preparing the matte paint, which requires specialist products and care, so I opted for a full Swissvax protection.





A few before photos of the car; nothing too dirty.























Paintwork was first pre-soaked with Autofinesse Citrus Power to dissolve and lift dirt to remove risk of marring during hand wash.





Wheels cleaned with AMDetails Wheels.











The paintwork was cleaned with Swissvax Opaque which contains no gloss-enhancers - the last thing you want on matte paint!








The car was then rinsed off and driven into the drying bay








The front-facing camera came in handy!








Dried using the Wooly Mammoth Towel and The Microfibre Madness Dry Me Crazy





Compressed air was used to dry the gloss black wheels, to avoid unnecessary scratches





Rolled into the handover bay to complete the rest of the detail











Paintwork cleansed with Swissvax Opaque Pre-Cleaner, which left a sterile, unaltered surface ready for wax protection. A few interior marks were cleaned up and delivery protection removed





Windows wiped down and G1 applied as always








Wheels and metal waxed with the awesome Swissvax Autobahn

















Trims dressed with Swissvax Seal Feed

Gloss black paintwork and carbon fibre was protected with Auto Finesse Illusion​

Paintwork finally protected with Swissvax Opaque wax, again leaving an unaltered but protected surface​

Curing​

Leaving a great looking matte finish but still enhancing the subtle Daytona Grey metallic!​

A few small details were dealt with before rolling it out for photos in the sun!​

Reversed back into the handover bay​

The owner picked the car up today and was very happy with this absolute beast of a car!


Thanks for reading! Comments appreciated as always!

Beast of a car. I would honestly sh*t myself cleaning someone's brand new £100K+ matte car. Looks like a job well done, with some top products :thumbsup:

Awesome work...

Amazing machine - did a Silverstone day in an RS4 and it really was phenominal.

 

[Tree200]

That is beyond stunning! awesome work mate, absolutely love these!

 

[Stevoox]

That car is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Top job too - some amazing work there!

£100k for that...more money than sense :rain:

Depends what your after though, not everyone will want to spend 100K on a 2 seater supercar. RS6 is a stunning car and I'd love to have one.

Although if i had 100K to spend on just one car then i'd most likely be heading for a lambo dealership

wow stunning work pal

Agree completely. Carbon AND Luxury is such a horrible combo, either have one or the other.

Prefer the little racing blue number in the background ;-)

and the options - auto closing doors and forward facing camera...is the driver not capapbel of closing the door and looking through the windscreen!

great detailing session!

Thanks Robo, I was more worried about steering it between the rest of the new Audis!

Definitely an acquire taste but as Stevo says, it depends what he's after!

Definitely, he had two kids with him at the collection so it's perfect for that and he said he prefers the drive to an R8!

Have to disagree, it was epic and the carbon looked so nice! Even the carbon grille with the Quattro badge is an option. :d

Agree with the Clio outdoing it though, obviously! ... haha

exactly!

If you are going to spec a car and can afford to have everything you want, you may as well hadn't you! The only thing he didn't tick was the ceramic brakes but look at the size of them as standard!

The doors don't auto shut, it's just when you don't close it properly or hard enough, it pulls it shut for you! Grabbed a video of it, will get it up tonight!

Disagree - carbon is expensive so can be a way to subtly show value spent, can look stylish too (as its does in the way applied on the audi)

Its used on high end performance cars to save weight. That won't be the case on a heavy RS6 - just there to look good.

3.9 to 60, so maybe does save some weight!

Predominantly to look good though as you say!

Stunning car and a great job.

At 1935kgs I think the 560BHP and 700nm/516lbft of torque in combination with 4WD plays a little part too such a stunning car and that guy has spec'd it perfectly

Lovely. Great job!

 

[FaithlessEmo]

Fantastic job. If you ever need a hand, give me a call cos I envy your job
