Audi S3 – Paint Enhancement and Full Ceramic Package 2yr protection

Brought to us from a previous customer, this near mint S3 has been very well looked after. It has had good routine washes, however washed incorrectly, which has caused a lot of swilrs and light scratches on the paint. Especially the lower areas, where it's evident a good pre wash has been missed out. We quoted for a one stage machine polish to remove the defects ready for a ceramic coating to be applied. Be sure the only way we ever put down ceramics here at all elite, is when the paint has been prepped correctly, ready to be locked in.

Starting with the pre rinse using bug remover and snow foam, followed by a high pressure rinse to loosen all the dirt. This allowed us to continue on with the safe hand wash along with the wheels which were chemically decontaminated and sealed with a protective wet coating. We then carried out our 3 stage paint decontamination service including clay bar to remove all embedded contaminates that cant be removed during the hand wash stage followed by a second wash to remove leftover chemical products. The car was rinsed with our 0ppm de-ionised water solution and dried thoroughly, ready for the paint correction.

After a thorough paint inspection, we opted for one stage fine cut machine polish which would eliminate 100% of swirls and marring. We contacted the owner, who was happy to go ahead with the work. Before this the customer also asked us to do a rear emblem de-badge.

After a full IPA wipe down removing all polish residue we applied our protective coating, locking in all the correction and polishing while keeping the car protected when out on the road. For this the owner upgraded to our 2 year ceramic coating package which has amazing defensive capabilities against swirls, light scratches and water marks to name a few.

The alloys received a chemical decontamination to remove all the tar spots before we also applied a ceramic coating.

We also polished the chrome tailpipes along with an interior clean and tyres glossed, the car is MINT! the white is popping and the wheels glossing. Perfect.
