Long's Sepang Blue Audi S3

Long contacted us just prior to picking up his brand new S3 in Sepang Blue. He had seen our work on a few other S3's, loved what he saw and asked us to go to town!

He decided to go with Modesta BC-04 Titanium Coating for something a bit different, and on this colour especially, it was definitely worth it!

As always, contact us to find out more, and see all the photos on

Unfortunately we don't have as many progress shots, but the detail ones are all there!

After washing the car it was dried using compressed air to force out all the water:

The B-Pillars were very bad so they were corrected along with the paint:

After a single stage 50/50:

The matts were coated with Optimum Opti-Guard as well as the leather:

We used HD Cut and HD Polish to get perfect results:

And after the car was fully corrected, it was time to apply the Modesta P-01A Primer:

This was allowed to set for 10 minutes before being wiped off. The gloss from this alone was insane!

The primer was then left to cure for 3 hours before applying the Modesta BC-04:

It is unique in that a wet application technique is used, using distilled water:

After wiping off, check out that clarity and depth!

We're sure you'll agree, Audi Sepang Blue is by far the best blue available on any car, and is our pic were we in the market for an S3! And the BC-04 just added a level of gloss and depth that has to be seen to be believed.

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 always, click the pictures for a larger version, and see the full photo set here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/obsessioncardetailing/sets/72157644593701668/

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

LOVE those LED daytime running lights, so aggressive:

Starting paint decontamination by removing iron fall out:

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:
