Audi R8 Detailing in 4K

[Music] hello good morning and welcome to another episode of white details here's something i've not done before detailing in 4k so there have been a few comments about changing the resolution for the videos and the youtube content to 4k from 1080p and the camera the lumix gh5 accommodates 4k resolution so be sure to switch over to 4k setting for the clearest most quality picture crisp setting possible and this is an audi r8 it's here for the full week there's various treatments to deliver to the car starting with little ppf removal uh paint correction coatings wheel coatings interior engine bay that and a whole lot more coming up on this simply oh my details [Music] so welcome back to the channel uh before we get started with the polishing and the paint correction stages there's two things to note first of all i apologize i'm bummed up i've got a cold i've got my flu so i'm nasally i'm struggling for breath but also the start of this job for me it's a bit different it's a bit different for the episode as well the car arrived with a good amount of paint protection film ppf existing ppf that's been there for eight or nine years it was already on the car i wasn't so much aware of this when i was booked in for sort of a two or three stage paint correction of polish and obviously there's limitations as to what you can do when you come to polishing the film but her options at this point are to work around the film to work with the film to polish it to improve it and enhance it as best possible or to simply remove it and do a paint correction properly underneath and then think about the ceramic paint protection option or the application of fresh ppf at a later date [Music] by lunchtime by the time the class on the ramp the wheels are outside i had received a message from the owner who had decided to go ahead remove the ppf in areas you can see on the film there are some wounds some battlestars some impact areas where i guess the film has served its purpose or at least we'll see when the film comes off later i was also somewhat caught off guard i didn't have my steamer to hand for this week so i'm utilizing the heat from the infrared curing panels to soften the ppf to work around the adhesive to remove it in a safer fashion as possible now although the car wasn't exactly new when the ppf went on it was still a good few years old at this point but the ppf went on eight or nine years ago i was somewhat expecting the underneath paintwork to be relatively defect free but as you can see on the off side of the vehicle of the side street the lower door panel the rear quarter there's abrasions hazing swirls so the ppf has been thrown on top but of course ppf is ever so forgiving so although the underlying base paint was scratched and swirly pbf over the top does somewhat disguise and mask the defects hidden beneath so my job going forward i need to get the paint as nice as possible in the time scales and then get the protection the interior the engine bay the wheels calipers all the accessory items dressed and protected as appropriate [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] so making a start with the paint correction process the audi is booked for a two-stage paint correction aiming to deliver seventy to eighty percent defect removal as you can see on the wing very much improved the paint condition compared to the upper surface where the swirls and the scratches are it has managed to take out some deeper marks however the finish is yet to be refined so it's hazy there is micro marring and damage that's left behind from my own process from my own cutting phase but at least with using the five inch and the three inch in this instance we can ensure the correction and the polishing is tight the very edges as usual you will see a mix of pads and machines being used to safely and efficiently correct the intricate spots the tight areas the concave sections and also the big open flat areas not just relying on one machine to do the whole car [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] before we get in too deep with the paint correction i do at this stage for me and peace of mind like to perform a test refining section [Music] so a finishing pad and a finishing polish in this instance car tec 9000 was used with a 50 50 sort of style section so i can clearly see the refining process taking place once it's buffed away [Music] so when the entire vehicle is cut this refining set will happen over the entire car and as you can clearly see the difference is quite mega [Music] [Music] [Music] so so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] hmm [Music] my up on the roof then i'm splitting this half the roof into thirds so five inch five inch five inch one two three but now of course i need to run the perimeter run the perimeter with the three inch back inside to get into areas like this the five inch doesn't obviously doesn't obviously sit over there too comfortably without overlapping too much onto the pillar the glass it's not an issue on the glass to be honest but it's more this edge you're concerned about so three inch three inch buff it off dust this area five inch five inch three inch dust it buff it move on to the wing and then up and over the top [Music] the ppf section that was on the bonnet here um and it came sort of halfway up uh we're talking about eight to nine years ago so it's technology with ppf is advanced a lot more and you get the full coverage quite easily i would imagine so the top portions are understandably a little bit more there's more love marks there's more swirling and haze compared to the lower sections but there are still holodrums rotary buffing marks where some work has been done this bonnet has been painted under warranty it has some corrosion down here so it was a replacement bonnet which had been painted but after a quick cut on the top right section there we've got a nice easy before and after before now before after and this is still before refining the bonnet is pretty huge what i've done there is from there up five inch five inch so that's two different sets it's going to be one two three five inches here into thirds all this is going to be three inch stuff hybrid needs to come out let's tackle this very top channel what i did spot a couple days ago were sending march in the lowest corner here unfinished sander marks there and then underneath this tape but just using the ceiling spotlight on this end section you can see holograms buffer trails which then turn to unfinished pigtails and sander marks so with the bonnet complete it is then offside wing mirror side skirts rear bumper front bumper i think we are i think we're gonna be leaving the ppf on that so i haven't yet inspected it fully up properly and then we can think about some refining before protection [Music] that is now the cutting complete apart from three areas number one the one inch strip the back of the roof here that runs with a bit of light you can see swirling haze needs correcting as well as the third brake light itself so that's number one number two is down the window similar story one inch number three one inch an interesting one to reach it's always pretty difficult to to lean across there but the one-inch nanopolisher we'll finish it off nicely get the rest of it all blown down and wiped and we can tackle the bay [Music] so [Music] [Applause] uh [Music] me [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's go [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] do [Music] with the polishing and the paint refining now complete and out of the way we turn our attention to the interior the car as a whole is a well cared for nice example the interior could be a lot worse don't get me wrong but there's certainly room for improvement it's a full deep clean leather protection and fabric protection [Music] so [Music] [Music] the number one tool for me on this job the airline the ability to flush the cracks and crevices from the leather get all the crumbs the hairs the all of the dirt not so much removed but relocated to an area where it's safer to use the vacuum to hoover it up to flush it to clean it to wipe it to later protect it [Music] so [Music] before we can apply modesto's lps which is the leather protection system we need to ensure the lever is clean and free of dirt and oils and grease for that quite a mild mixture of koshkami pole stars used which is a textile alcantara leather interior cleaner alongside a couple of soft bristled brushes [Music] using a damp and warm microfiber to wipe away the residues as you go and also the airline comes out to play again the airline can flush out the residue the soap the solution from the seams of the leather and the cracks of the bolsters [Music] so so and then rinsing the towel out to release the residues and you can see the color of the water that's just from the one seat once dry here you can see the leather is looking supple it's looking matte it's looking factory fresh but there still might be some residues from the cleaning agent left behind so a damp towel once again just gives a wipe over a wet wipe to hydrate and to release the remaining residues before we can apply the protection [Music] um the same applies for the leather steering wheel and then once the surfaces the dashboard the console plastics were all cleaned in a similar fashion this is the pool of the rinse water which just leaves the overmaps the petal box and the carpets to tackle a bit later on [Music] [Music] um [Music] so the cutting and refining have been completed the refiner was finished this morning i've made a head start and a bit of a tickle on the interior but before the tape comes off the corner we're gonna go around with medesta's primer we need to do this before the coatings go down in the morning and i've just done two dozen touch-ups in the lower portions of the edges of the arches etc this is treated more of a glaze on a very very soft finishing pad as opposed to it polish itself you can work it you can bring it to temperature if you wanted to but also the fact i've done traditionally the cutting and refining with other compounds and polishes this is now just there for a base for bc04 tomorrow and you can pretty much fly around the car with this process so half past three half plus four will be finished by half past five two hours hopefully to do so super super sharp just give me a nice example this all said and done the seats looking much more matte very clean yet to be protected with lps modesta and the same for the wheel the wheels looking clean and smart matte factory fresh [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] me foreign [Music] good [Music] my [Music] so [Music] modesto's pco4 has been applied now uh infrasteering process has started the rooms have been coated b06 um final finishing jobs really oops let's treat the ladder go to the glass dotted to the door shut it's got to do the registration plate obviously i don't want to show you the digits in full but it's pretty hammered there's a lot of improvement here on the blossom clarity i know it's in a registration plate but when that's stuck back in the back end just gonna let things down [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] hmm [Applause] see [Music] so [Music] uh um [Music] domestic violence 273 wc [Music] peace [Music] [Music] ah uh detailing in 4k now the r8 complete yeah i have to say i felt grotty for the last couple of days i'm really bummed up with a sore throat so apologies if the vibe was down on the video on the camera but let me know your thoughts has this episode been an improvement on the last in terms of the visuals the quality of the 4k resolution i'm pretty sure it's guaranteed to be i guess one thing i do know is if this is going to continue it's going to cost me a fortune my laptop as good as it is as good as it was when i first invested in it back when i started in 2017 with the videos i threw in monday and tuesday's footage of the audi on tuesday night and things were slow it really does struggle to render it struggles to process just 4k file sizes like this new desktop machine is on the cards possibly so the card's been picked up in the morning first thing tomorrow which is saturday i have a little yaris gr for next week a new car prep which is here already and the r8 it's been a two to three stage paint correction the ppf removal modesto bc4 coating in its place obviously a coating isn't going to stand up to road rash and impact much like what the ppf was there for in the first place but the owner has changed the direction the film was old it wanted to come off and the paint underneath as you saw was pretty rough swirled up and hazy anyway interior care leather protection the wheel coatings of modesto bc06 which is what the sprayable coating you saw me doing on the wheels was earlier on there's often people comment what's the sprayable solution on the wheels and calipers pco6 only available for the modesto network by the way and i guess that's about your lot so thank you for your time thank you for sitting through thank you to the y details patrons and the
