Audi RS4.......Stable car, not intended for horseback riding.....

So one of my customers who I had not seen in a while asked me to come by and detail his other vehicle. This Audi RS4 which I had never detailed has been used as my customers "Stable" vehicle over the California winter months. It basically has been used to go back and forth to the horse stables and for carrying the riding gear and the dog.



This vehicle was trashed, looks like the stables and this Audi got their share of the wet weather we had this winter. So after spending an exhausting amount of time prepping the vehicle, we had to thoroughly wash it twice... we finally had a very clean vehicle to start detailing.



Here are some before shots.....

Thank you for viewing, your comments are appreciated!
 
wow. that wash one trashed car . . . . . . i have always liked the higher model audi's and man this one came out great. What did you use to clean and dress the engine.



Leather looks crisp, rims got super clean and the pain work is just glowing and looks silky smooth.



Excellent job.
 
Awesome work!



Random mechanical question for those who know... Is it the pictures or is the engine really mounted that far forward in the bay? It looks like the full weight is in front of the wheels, I would think that would make the car incredibly nose heavy in the turns.

yup. Audis are famous for their understeer. they've FINALLY started fixing it, but for a long time the engines were mounted WAY too far forward. the automotive press has been reaming them for it for almost 30 years now.

Poor RS4! Someone needs a truck! lol Nice turn around!



No kidding...



I'll trade him even up with any of my vehicles that he can easily mistreat and not feel bad about it.

I be more than happy to pamper the S4.

:LOLOL



He could sneak up on the horses a little easier with the S4 ???
 
Awesome job! I did an RS4 in that same colour before and it shines soooo beautifully afterwards. Especially a great job on the rims.
