This client contacted me through a forum and had just purchased a '12 Audi Supercharged Q7 in Obsidian Black. He is a very educated "car guy" and he knew what he was looking for...Opti-Coat! He drove down from Oklahoma just to show me the car and take it in for it's first service. We discussed what he wanted done and after looking at the car, it was in perfect condition! I told him DO NOT let the dealer wash the car! Well guess what? They did! The next day I got the bad news! Being in the military, getting a schedule worked out was tricky, but for military soldiers I will move my schedule around for any of them! It's the least I could do! Well my client left his house at 5am to make this happen, in the rain! Well after seeing the car, it didn't really surprise me as I see allot from this dealership and this was typical! Marring everywhere, and the clear bra was the worst! We also were going to debadge and rebadge with carbon fiber Audi badges. First I would like to say that we all know the quality of Audi's fit and finish, but they have outdone themselves on the 2012 Q7's! Beautiful cars! I can see why my client fell in love with it! We started off by stripping and claying the car. Having been well taken care of, this was the easy part! Rims had Wolf's Rim shield installed and Glass shield on the glass, there were holding up well! Door jambs were kept immaculate! We settled on a full correction and Opti-Coat installation. The minute we finished washing the rains came back and didn't stop until we finished the car! For an Audi, the paint was soft, hence the marring! Lots of deep RIDS all over the hood and quarter panels. Nothing the Flex DA and Optimum MF pads couldn't handle though! Enjoy!

Aweesome work and thank you for taking the time to do the write up and post the pictures. Really nice to see the paint get the treatment it deserves on this fine vehicle :)

One thing to note is that this is not a twin turbo motor. It is the 3.0 L supercharged model as the badges denote. I have the same motor in my S4 and Q7. Audi electronically alters the HP depending on the vehicle it is utilized in. It is sometimes confusing as for some reason Audi names the motor 3.0T
 
ONE dealer wash did that? incredible

nice save

so just to clarify, 1 polishing step, but it was a mix of hyper compound & d301? except for the clear bra which was d301 only

Thank you! I'm a moron, not sure why I wrote TT? I love the lines Audi has been putting out! Have an upcoming S8 coming in and that is one sexy car!

Hyper Polish and D301, complete car and bra. Extra pass of just D301 on the bra alone. Owner is going across country and will change the bra out after winter.
