Dirtiest Audi RS4 Avant EVER??? Watch This Amazing Audi Get Detailed
Larry Kosilla from Ammo NYC uses AI Design’s Audi RS4 Avant to demonstrate how you can revive a filthy car back to its showroom condition.
Earlier last month, Matt Farah’ got behind the wheel of AI Design’s rally-spec Audi RS4 Avant for YouTube channel Hagerty’s new show Modified. By the time the YouTuber was through driving the performance wagon around a muddy pit, the car was covered in a thick layer of ooze. This is where Ammo NYC stepped in. The company produces car care products, and its creator, Larry Kosilla used AI Design RS4 Avant to demonstrate how you can revive a filthy car back to its showroom condition.
Well, if you’ve watched Farah’s video, then you know that he didn’t exactly make things easy for the guys at Ammo NYC. Kosilla shared his thoughts on the car’s condition, “Mud was literally caked everywhere, on every surface, inside every pocket or crevice, and it was like this clay type mixture, which made it incredibly sticky and harder than usual to remove”.
Power Wash
It is important to be extra cautious while removing the coating of clay and mud. Ammo NYC started the detailing process by power washing the car. This way, you can ensure that your car’s paint or wrap like the Matte Green vinyl of the RS4 remains undamaged. The power wash revealed all the high-tech equipment and fancy gadgetry that AI Design installed on the wagon.
AI Design publicist, Roger Garbow offered a quick rundown of the tech that the tuner installed on RS4 “We also have in the front, a FLIR thermal imaging camera because this client loves that kind of stuff. These four right here (auxiliary lights), put out 34000 lumens, it’s crazy! This thing lights up the night like it’s daytime.”
Treating the Undercarriage
It is not enough to just scrub the bodywork if you want a thorough and deep clean. Kosilla demonstrated the same by unfastening the wheels and raising the car onto a lift. This revealed the mud and rocks that settled inside the inner barrels of the rims. There was mud even blocking the holes within the rotors. It is worth remembering that one should leave the wheel lugs in, to not get rid of the specific grease, as that may cause the part to wear.
AI Design’s RS4 Avant has an exposed underbody which required some extra persuasion. After the suspension, wheel wells, calipers, and the underbody were power washed, Kosilla hit the surfaces with Brute Wheel Soap that would dissolve most of the dirt. Kosilla also approached the tight spots with a scrubber to agitate the more resilient junk.
Lather Up
After removing a whopping 26 lbs of junk from the car, Kosilla lathered the Matte Green Audi RS4 Avant using Ammo Foam and Boost additive. Kosilla used a microfiber cloth and a soft bristle brush to tackle the leftover dirt once the soap had seeped into every inch of the car and loosened the grit. This step also requires a power wash, especially on the door seams, which gets rid of any dirt stuck in tricky corners.
Always Hydrate
The next step involves drying the car, and for this, Kosilla used Ammo Hydrate, which acts as an additional layer of protection as it dries a surface. Ammo Hydrate also acts as a lubricant, which ensures that any residual dirt does not scratch the car’s paint or the vinyl wrap. The use of compressed air is also recommended at this stage, to get rid of any unwanted particles that are difficult to reach.
Lathering the dirt on the cabin surfaces and agitating it with an interior brush will make it easier to clean. A quick vacuum for the carpet and water extraction for the floor mats will leave your interior gleaming like brand new.
Rejuvenation
Kosilla used Ammo Reboot to reinvigorate the RS4 Avant. After spraying the product, you can use a microfiber cloth to massage Ammo Reboot into the paint surface and remove the residue using a clean towel after letting it do its magic for about 10 seconds. This product is especially recommended for vehicles that have Ammo Reflex Pro Enamel coating.
Finally, Kosilla hits all the windows with Ammo Obey E-Cleaner, and lo behold, the car was as good as new. As satisfying as it is to watch, this detailing job wasn’t an easy task. “This was by far the muddiest car I’ve ever worked on,” said Kosilla describing his experience.
