Audi S3 - Paint Enhancement with full Ceramic Coating Package

This lovely one year old S3 was sold from a local dealer who are known for taking considerable time prepping for pre sale. However after purchasing the vehicle, the owner got in contact with us for a ceramic coating and when we inspected the car to quote a price, we could see that there were many paint defects, including swirls, some marring and polish residue left on plastic trim due to not being masked correctly when a machine polish was carried out. This would fall into our paint enhancement package with a ceramic upgrade.

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 noticed that there were some areas which would work better with a 2 stage cut and polish to eliminate deeper scratches. The rest of the paint would be a one stage micro cut machine polish which would eliminate 100% of swirls and marring. We contacted the owner, who was happy to go ahead with the work.

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 enhanced the black plastic trim all over the car as these areas were deeply affected by polish from a previous owner. Along with an interior clean and tyres glossed, the car is looking amazing. The blue on this S3 is just gorgeous. We are really happy with the results achieved.
