Audi Q7 – Deep Stain Removal & Heavy Exterior Decontamination
This Audi Q7 was one of the more demanding details of the week. The vehicle arrived with significant staining throughout the interior and a heavily soiled exterior that showed signs of road film, brake dust buildup, and neglected maintenance. As a mobile detailing service, we came prepared for a full-scale restoration right in the client’s driveway.
Exterior Cleaning: Deep Decontamination Process
The outside of the Q7 was covered in grime—bug splatter, thick road dirt, and even embedded contaminants on the lower panels. We performed a comprehensive multi-step exterior detail:
- Pre-Foam & Rinse: We blanketed the SUV in a thick foam pre-soak to break down surface contaminants.
- Hand Wash with Iron Remover: Followed up with a pH-balanced soap and an iron decon to dissolve bonded particles, especially around the wheels and rocker panels.
- Clay Bar Treatment: The surface still had a gritty texture, so we followed with a clay bar to lift remaining embedded contamination.
- Wheel Cleaning & Tire Dressing: The wheels were caked in brake dust. We used a dedicated wheel acid and tire cleaner, then finished with a water-based dressing for a satin finish.
- Spray Sealant Protection: We sealed the freshly cleaned paint with a durable polymer-based spray for weeks of protection and shine.
Interior Stain Extraction & Deep Cleaning
The interior had deep staining, especially on the carpets and lower seat bolsters—likely from spilled drinks, mud, and daily wear. Our stain extraction process involved:
- Fabric Pre-Treatment: Applied an enzyme-based cleaner to break down protein-based stains.
- Hot Water Extraction: We used a heated extractor to pull deep grime from the carpet and cloth seats.
- Spot Treatment: For stubborn areas, like cup holder stains and salt rings near the pedals, we applied targeted stain removers.
- Interior Wipe Down & Dressing: Every surface was wiped clean, then dressed with a UV protectant to restore that factory-new feel.
Final Result
After a full day’s work, the Audi Q7 looked showroom-ready. The stains were completely lifted, and the exterior had a glassy, hydrophobic finish. This job is a great example of what our full mobile detailing service can do—even for heavily used family SUVs.
