Nardo Grey Audi RS3
The Audi Sport division has really stepped up their game, and the release of the RS3 proves just that. 400hp 5 cylinder that shoots the car to 60 in 3.5 seconds is really impressive. No wonder many of our clients with RS3’s choose to have these protected with PPF.
Prior to any PPF being applied to the Audi RS3, a very thorough wash and decontamination is done on the vehicle. The owner of this RS3 chose to go with a full body SunTek Ultra PPF wrap along with Ceramic Pro application.
The Chemical Guys foam cannon allows all the suds to seep into those hard to reach areas and help force the dirt from all the crevices out.

After the paint is 100% clean and decontaminated, the Audi RS3 is ready for the SunTek Ultra PPF to be applied.
The hood is being applied in bulk, this allows us to perfectly lay the PPF down and tuck all corners and edges.

Precision
The Audi RS3 bumper is very complex with many edges and curves. This means that the proper way to install the bumper is in multiple pieces. All of our templates are 1/16th of an inch accuracy, and if there is a need to have seams, they will lay in a corner or sharp body line, hiding them from view.

Nothing is overlooked
Even the Audi RS3 grill is wrapped. The cutout fits perfectly around the QUATTRO badge, have a look how close the fitment is.

Wrap is done, now to protect the PPF
The rest of the body of the RS3 was wrapped in SunTek Ultra PPF then coated with a layer of Ceramic Pro Light. The Ceramic Pro will help keep the contaminants off the RS3’s PPF for years, making it a breeze to wash and shine like a new car for years. The added benefit of having a full vehicle wrapped in SunTek Ultra PPF is the self healing technology, which allows swirls and imperfections to cure and disappear by themselves.

Close-ups never lie
