New Audi S5 Gets Opti-Coat on Long Island

Opti-Coat, Best Way To Protect Your New Car

And this owner knows all about the benefits of Opti-Coat Pro. After buying his new Audi S5, the owner wanted a perfectly clean and easy car to take care of. Opti-Coat was the clear choice for this owner. We immediately booked an appointment to prevent any further damage prior to application.



While prepping the Audi for Opti-Coat, I always start with the deironizing and degreasing the wheels. The red spots you see below are areas reacting with heavy iron particles embedded in the wheel. This particular process is the best method of cleaning wheels on high performance cars such as this Audi S5. High performance break pads contain a large amount of iron which causes very dirty wheels, very quickly. And we wanted the wheels to be flawless prior to Opti-Coating them. Oh and yes, you can Opti-Coat wheels.

After prepping the entire exterior, I went on to polish all of the paintwork to remove any defects and scratches. In this case the process was quick and simple. After prepping, the entire car got one more hand wash then wiped down with an alcohol solution to remove any oils left behind. Now we are ready to apply the permanent coating.

All painted surfaces are coating and permanently protected. In this particular detail we coated all exterior paintwork, the wheels, and even the door jambs. This will make washing and maintenance unbelievably easy. The wheels will stay clean through the harsh Long Island winters and the door jambs won’t build up excessive amounts of grime and dirt.
