Finished up my quarantine project and gave my son his graduation gift this weekend. Wheels were first powder coated gloss black and then sealed with CSL and ExoV4. 12mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers our back were added. Windows were tinted with Llumar Pinnacle 25% all the way around except windshield. Old luggage PPF was removed and trunk luggage Xpel piece was added. A5 and Quattro badges were removed. Black rings were added, front and rear. ECS black exhaust tips were added. Paint was decontaminated with obsessed garage decon soap and iron X then AutoScrubbed. Correction was provided by griots fast correcting cream and microfiber pads and perfecting cream on yellow pads. CSL and 2 coats ExoV4 were applied. Interior was scrubbed with Colourlock Mild Leather Cleaner and finished with Colourlock Leather Shield. Very happy with the results and my son was too. Now I have to do the same to the 2011 Toyota Tacoma he had been driving to get ready to sell. I think I will be using Jescar Powerlock and 845 on that one.

Default Car looks really good and congrats

to your son on his sweet ride, I would suggest changing the side badges to black to complete the look.

On a different subject, got my car ceramic coated last week. Happy with the results.

Just got the A5 shined up today. Bought it in November and still love the color. Great car!
