Post More pictures at Vinny's detail shop ...........


Guys,

These are the next pictures of Vinny & Josh Custom/Detailing my RS3.

These 1st 2-pictures are of tires and below is that short story.
When I picked up the RS3 on Saturday after maybe driving 3-4 or so miles the WARNING Message came up and the Amber Symbol on the dash for Low-Tire-Pressure.
Made a quick U-Turn as soon as I could and drove to the service lanes.
I saw Christina my Service Writer and told her what took place.
I also told here I left it running just to make sure the message didn't go away.
She took it right down to the service area and within a short time brought it back up to the write-up lanes.
Said they checked all the tires and put air in them and reset the WARNING-LIGHT.
So all was good and truthfully I thought to myself this is sorta strange as they just PDI it a few days ago.
And IMO I highly doubted they didn't check and if necessary add additional air when they did the PDI.
Anyway, I decided not to get into some lengthy discussion and left and hoped that one of the tires was simply low enough it turned on the WARNING.

Of course we all know what's coming, right guys ???
It sat in my garage and Monday when Vinny said drive on over I fired it up and as soon as I backed out of the garage you wanna guess what happened ???
Of course that Tire WARNING message and dash Tire Symbol lit-up.
Anyway I didn't want to screw with it right then and drove on over to Vinny's Shop maybe 5-miles from my house.
I asked him to check the Right-Front-Tire pressure and why.
He did and it had like 32 PSI in it.
He looked but didn't see any reason for it to be low again.
Anyway, let me try to speed this short-story way-up.
When he removed the wheels & tires and took a look there it was a SCREW in that tire so Mystery over.
I just sent a text to my guy at the Audi dealer and he got with Christina and a new replacement tire was ordered that day.
Vinny my man actually took the tire & wheel to the Audi dealer and waited while they put the new tire on and balanced it for him as he was what's called a Waiter.
He brought it back to his shop and all was lovely once again.









Josh & Vinny getting ready to apply the 2nd coat of CARPRO DLUX Sealant to all 4-wheels.









AS you can see in the pictures they do the complete wheel inside and out.
And they apply it to all surfaces ..........













Lastly goes the HEAT to Set the Sealant completely to the surfaces.









Below is showing just how HOT that wheel is.





Josh is working on the last 2-wheels while the 1st 2 were completed.









For those interested pictures of the PPF Suntek clear film on the hood.

























Josh is doing the final wash to all 4-inner fender wells.
And I do mean everything that under each fender-well is totally cleaned, perfect.
Meanwhile as you see Vinny is working on the film.





















Josh stopped so I took this picture of him Totally Cleaning under the Fender-Wells.
He does not play around guys this guy does it as perfect as it possibly can be.





Josh is now getting ready spray the C.QUARTZ Fabric Protectant to the Underside of the rear fender areas where it is like Fabric.
I'm pretty sure Audi does that to help with Road-Noise coming back up into the cabin.









Josh is now doing the areas under the front fender-wells.





Josh is applying the CARPRO DLUX to the underneath side of the front fender-wells.

























More pictures tomorrow guys,
Terry
