Read into how we removed swirl marks and minor scratches, the finshed it all off with a fresh glossy coat for this Audi TTRS

Audi TTRS Stage 1 Machine Polish & 5 Year Ceramic Coating

This Audi TTRS came to us looking for a noticeable enhancement in gloss along with long-term protection. While the paintwork was generally well maintained, light swirl marks and wash marring were visible under inspection lighting. The goal was simple: refine the finish and lock it in with durable protection.

To achieve this, we carried out our Stage 1 Machine Polish followed by the exact 5 Year Ceramic Coating package offered on our website, providing enhanced depth, clarity and long-term defence against the elements.

Initial Inspection & Preparation

As with every vehicle, the process began with a thorough inspection under proper lighting to assess paint condition and identify any defects.

The car then received a safe pre-wash and contact wash process using pH-balanced products. This was followed by full chemical decontamination to remove embedded iron fallout and tar deposits, ensuring the surface was completely clean before polishing.

Stage 1 Machine Polish

The Stage 1 Machine Polish is designed to significantly enhance gloss and clarity while reducing light swirl marks and surface haze.

Using a single-stage polishing system, we refined the paintwork to:

  • Reduce light swirls and wash marring
  • Improve overall depth and reflectivity
  • Restore clarity across all panels

This process brings out the true character of the Audi’s paintwork without unnecessary heavy compounding, making it ideal for well-maintained vehicles seeking a noticeable improvement.

5 Year Ceramic Coating Application

Once polishing was complete, the vehicle was panel wiped to remove any polishing oils and ensure optimal bonding.

We then applied our 5 Year Ceramic Coating package, delivering durable long-term protection and enhanced visual impact.

Benefits include:

  • Increased gloss and depth
  • Strong hydrophobic behaviour (water beading and sheeting)
  • Resistance against environmental contamination
  • UV protection to preserve paint clarity
  • Easier ongoing maintenance

The coating forms a hardened protective layer over the paintwork, helping to maintain the freshly polished finish for years to come.

 

Final Result

The finished result was a noticeably sharper, glossier Audi TTRS with improved paint clarity and deep reflections throughout the bodywork.

With the Stage 1 refinement complete and long-term ceramic protection in place, the vehicle now benefits from:

  • Enhanced gloss and depth
  • Reduced visible imperfections
  • Durable 5-year paint protection
  • Easier cleaning and maintenance moving forward
