Audi S4 - Opti-Coat Pro3

Kevin is probably one of the oldest friends I have since moving to the area. We met working at Ciocca VW back in 2011 and is still one of the few friends that have managed to put up with my crap and stuck around, for which I am appreciative of. You may remember his old S13 Nissan 240SX that was pushing 500 hp. I had coated that for him and he recently sold it to move on to something new. This something, is a 2014 Audi S4 with sport differential, DSG transmission, and alcantara seats.

It was clear that he wanted to keep this looking as good as possible since it would be his daily driver and this was around the time of the release of Opti-Coat Pro3. This is the thickest and most rugged coating from Opti-Coat to date and it was decided that the S4 deserved it. The previous owner claimed to be a detailer and I know I have heard that before so I wasn’t surprised with the swirls and marring. Kevin wanted the V6T badges removed from the fenders and he also had two nasty paint chips that went down to metal that I touched up with OEM paint pens.

I am anxious to see how this car holds up in the upcoming years of his ownership. Kevin is meticulous with his cleaning so I don’t have a lot to worry about but since Pro3 is new to me, I am still really curious. What I do know from application is that it is thicker and glossier and I have yet to be let down by an Opti-Coat coating, so bring it on!
