Marty Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The guy who gave the bugatti a good ol'cleaning has now done an Audi R8. He does a cracking job. I love the interior and the way everything lights up etc when he turns the ignition on NOT FOR 56K MODEMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 cool, good job. i love the R8. but find the fact that buttons and sticks on the dash that are the same as my GF's golf mk4 is a bit lame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I find it usually helps when you start off with a near brand new car too Good thread tho, plenty of useful tid bits to be read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It's nice to see the pics of the R8 features but detailing such a new car doesn't do much for me, I prefer the 20 year-old nightmares that they transform from sheds to beauties. Like this: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=40510 Reminds me of a concours competition at an event I went to in 2000, some guy turned up in a MK3 MR2 with 30 miles on the clock on won it, where's the fun in that?

Class One Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The stuff he does though is awesome. Me my average wash is a spray with zymol wash, wash off with clean water with one or Mr Richards woolley mitts, rinse off using another mitt, dry with one of his towels and then use Meguiars Speed Detailer and autosol on the wheels and exhaust. That takes me a bout 2hrs But to take 10 hrs to do what he does , he makes a good living I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 his results are fabulous; some of the things he uses are insane and very expensive. Id be worried about something going wrong. I dont think there are any marks on my car he couldnt get out its just knowing how Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they would drop a decent lump in the TT like the V8 from the R8 (RS4/6) and waited to launch the R8 proper with the V10 that is destined for it. I followed a TT home the other day from work wish I had been in the Supe instead of the Volvo oil burner as he was tramping on a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
