Audi R8 detailing in Houston

What we watch for

Paint and interior on the R8

Paint and exterior

Low, wide bodywork with a side blade behind each door in paint, carbon or a contrast color, and a glass engine cover on many cars. The nose and the leading edge of the rear arches take the most chips and usually wear PPF.

Interior

A tight two-seat cockpit with sport seats in leather or Alcantara, carbon trim on many cars and a lot of contrast stitching. The small space behind the seats collects dust that has to be blown out.

Living in Houston

Driven on dry weekends and stored in a garage, an R8 mostly needs dust removed safely and the paint kept protected. One drive up I-45 in love bug season can cover the whole nose.

• Often wears PPF or a wrap: film edges get a coating-safe wash, no clay on the film, and the film can be ceramic coated too.
• Exposed carbon fiber: clear-coated carbon is polished like paint; satin carbon is cleaned and protected, never polished.
• Alcantara or microsuede: brushed dry, cleaned with a dedicated cleaner on a towel (never sprayed directly), then re-napped.
• Low front splitter: we work on level ground and keeps equipment clear of the nose.
