Audi Q5 Transformation: Full Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating, and More
we recently worked on a tired Audi Q5, restoring it to its former glory with a complete paint correction detail, ceramic coatings, wheel refurbishment, and interior protection. This case study showcases our expertise in paint correction, Gtechniq ceramic coatings, and premium detailing services.Initial Condition of the Audi Q5The Audi Q5 arrived at our detailing studio in need of extensive care. The vehicle’s paintwork was marred by swirl marks, scratches, and dullness. Additionally, the front bumper had damage that required repair and respraying. The wheels showed signs of wear, and the interior needed a deep clean and protection.Paint Correction ProcessWe began with a full paint correction to restore the Audi’s exterior. Our multi-stage machine polishing process eliminated swirl marks, oxidation, and surface defects, bringing back a showroom-level finish. This essential step is critical before applying ceramic coatings, ensuring the paint is free of imperfections.Gtechniq C1 & EXOv5 Ceramic Coating ApplicationOnce the paint correction was complete, we protected the Audi Q5 with Gtechniq C1 and EXOv5 ceramic coatings. The combination of these advanced coatings provides:• Long-lasting Protection: Gtechniq C1 forms a durable bond with the paint, while EXOv5 adds hydrophobic properties and additional gloss.
• Enhanced Shine: The coatings significantly improved the vehicle’s appearance, offering a deep, reflective gloss.
• Superior Resistance: The ceramic coatings protect against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and minor scratches.Front Bumper Repair & ResprayThe Audi’s front bumper corner had visible damage. We repaired and resprayed the affected area, restoring it to a flawless finish that seamlessly blended with the rest of the vehicle.Reapplication of XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF)To further safeguard the newly resprayed bumper, we applied XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF). This high-quality film provides a nearly invisible layer of protection against stone chips, scratches, and road debris, ensuring the front bumper remains in pristine condition.Wheel RefurbishmentAll four wheels were professionally refurbished, removing any curb damage and restoring them to a like-new condition. Following the refurbishment, the wheels were sealed for long-lasting protection against brake dust and environmental contaminants.Interior Deep Clean & ProtectionWe gave the Audi Q5’s interior a deep clean, focusing on rejuvenating the leather, fabric, and dashboard. We also applied protective treatments to safeguard against future stains and wear, leaving the cabin refreshed and protected.Final ResultsAfter our comprehensive detailing process, the Audi Q5 was transformed. The paintwork was restored to a high gloss finish, the ceramic coatings provided long-term protection, the wheels were refurbished to perfection, and the interior was deep cleaned and treated for ongoing protection.
