All Season Detail - Salt Removal - 2014 Audi RS5
We had a new customer come into the shop with his brand new 2014 Audi RS5 in Missano Red - beautiful!
He wanted to get his car cleaned up because it was new but did not want to do a full correction on it due to the winter we have been having - just clean up the paint and provide some good protection. Once the roads clean up he will be back for a proper correction.
Take a look at our all season detail a great way to maintain the car and keep it looking good and protected.

If I had the money to buy a car like that you can bet your ass I'd buy a winter beater so I wouldn't have to drive an RS5 with salt on the roads!
Regardless, great clean-up on an amazing car.
