All Season Detail - Salt Removal - 14 Audi RS5

[Detailers Domain]

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.

I'm curious about steam cleaning the exterior like that...I used it on the rims, but is it that effective with dirt and everything else on the body?
