January brought us a brand new Audi Q7 detail,Our customer new exactly how his new pride and joy should be treated after already having previous work done.
On consultation we were told that he had been offered a dealership product to which he knew the car would not endure the same  initial vehicle inspection and  car preperation needed to ensure a better than factory/dealership finish.
On every new car detail there is always a massive amount of prep to do prior to applying protection, All new vehicles have upon inspection,scratches / contamination etc which need to be refined and removed .
The prep for a new car is listed below and can vary depending on customer requirements.
Degrease arches using a fruit oil degereaser
Ph neutral wash using meino wool mits to eliminate vehicle marring
plush towel dry
vehicle paint inspection using our 3m sun gun ( this procedure shows defects and scratches which need refined)
Tape up the vehicle (rubber trims etc to ensure no damage from machine polishing)
multi stage machine polishing to remove defects / scratches whilst constantly monitering the vehicle paint depth.
another Ph neutral wash and towel dry
IPA wipe down to remove machine polishing compounds and oil residue
Final inspection of the paintwork prior to waxing/ceramic coating.

The prep can also include the removal of wheels which are fully cleaned and decontaminated ready for wheel armour coatings/ sealent waxes.

After all the prep was completed we first added the armour coating Gtechniq C5 to the wheels and re fitted them to the vehicle using the manafactures torque settings,( these are then left for a 12 hour curing period)

The vehicle paint was then coated with a Gtechniq C1 crystal coating to ensure maximum protection, this was also left to cure for 12 hours

The vehicle interior was next, all carpets were vacuum cleaned, blown out ,and a re vac
leather was protected using Gtechniq L1.
Plastics were protected with Gtechniq c6 to provide uv protection
internal external glass was cleaned and polished then an external rain repellant gtechniq G1 was fitted,this offers a 2year/ 30,000 mile protection
 The final parts to the completion of the vehicle were runing boards needed polished and protected as did the exhaust tips, then finally condition the tyres.

Here are some photos of the vehicle detail
