Even a relatively new car can pick up defects quickly as a daily driver. This particular S5 has been on the road less than a year, but there were a number of wash induced defects as well as some rotary holograms from removing the badges. An intensive 1-step polish was able to remove the majority of the defects and was a great economical choice for a daily driver vehicle. The paint was further enhanced with an entry level ceramic coating from Pinnacle Black Label. To round out the work, the interior received a deep cleaning and sanitizing.
