It seems a good while a go now that we were preparing for detailing’s ‘greatest show on earth’. We are of course talking about Waxstock. For the show in Coventry this year, Ultimate Finish were on hand to support German brand, Nanolex and one of the tasks we had was to find a suitable car to display on the stand.

Something German would be order of the day and as luck would have it, a friend of a friend was kind enough to lend us the keys to his daily driver – an Audi R8. Best news of all (and not for Joe Huntley), this was a daily driver in every sense of the word. It was filthy!

With the fully detailed Audi R8 representing Nanolex on the stand, we sent Joe a box of Nanolex goodies that would be more than capable of bringing this meaty V8 back to its former glory.

Audi R8 Pre-Show Preparation Delivers Amazing Transformation

As you will see in Joe’s full video, this Audi required a really thorough decontamination, both inside and out. Joe uses a whole host of the Nanolex range in each process. Including pre-wash, wash, decontamination, drying, machine polishing and protection.

Machine Polishing Made Easy with Nanolex

With the paintwork on this Audi R8 being black, it meant that imperfections caused during previous wash stages were very apparent indeed. Joe would be using a combination of Nanolex Ultra Cut and Nanolex Finishing Polish during the machine polishing stage, two products which are particularly easy to use and deliver fantastic results, fast.

Once fully machine polished the R8 would be protected using one of Nanolex’s famous sealant options, Si3D Max – a sealant which, just like all of the Nanolex sealant range, is particularly easy to install.

Check out Joe’s full detailing video below – the final transformation was certainly well worthy of gracing the Waxstock show
