Audi A4 · Complete package, inside and out

A grey Audi A4 (B8 facelift) came in for the full treatment — the owner wanted the whole car gone through, not just the paint or just the cabin.

Inside we carried out a full detail: leather seats, door panels, centre console, carpets and boot. The leather was cleaned gently by material, dirt was brushed out of the seams and air vents, and all interior glass was cleaned at the end.

Outside we started with a pH-neutral pre-wash, clay treatment and degreasing — the prep has to be right before the machine touches the paint. Then a two-stage machine polish of the whole car: a cutting step to remove the marks, followed by refinement to build the gloss. Finally a ceramic coating that protects the paint and makes future washing easier.

The engine bay was washed and dressed last. The grey paint regained its depth, and the car was as clean under the bonnet as it was in the cabin.
