James' 2014 Audi S3 Sedan

After doing his Mazda CX5 a while back, James asked us to go to town on his brand new Audi S3 Sedan. This was the first S3 sedan in the country, and was a real privilege to work on. We must say, Audi really got it right with this car, it's absolutely stunning, fast, practical, luxurious, everything you could ever need in a car.

Seeing as Opti-Coat is the only protection proven to last and tested by the CSIRO, like his Mazda, James requested we apply Opti-Coat, but only after a full paint correction to maximise the potential of the German paint job. Audi's have fantastic paint, hard, but nice to work with. A1 to Audi, or should we say, S3 ;)

As it arrived, straight from the dealer, stickers intact. We just LOVE this colour:

You can see the iron reacting and turning pink:

Examining the paint. A few swirls and scratches, but nothing too major:

Taped for the correction:

Stunning gloss and clarity can be achieved with the right tools, products, and know-how:

  1. Audi has a great look like always. I and my friends bought the Audi altogether and that was a fabulous experience for us. I never forget this. Even on the visit of car detailing workshop in SF Bay Area, we enjoyed a lot.
