[Audi S3] A 5-year-old certified pre-owned car transformed to a mirror-like finish, even better than new! Thorough polishing & original ceramic coating application | Zuya Factory, Saitama City | blog | Mirror polish that surpasses new cars | Zuya Factory, a car coating specialist in Saitama City

This is Zuya Factory, a car coating specialist located in Omiya Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture.

Today, we would like to introduce a case study of our work on an Audi S3 Sportback, which was commissioned by Mr. N from Saitama City . Mr./Ms. N, thank you very much for entrusting us with your valuable vehicle!

The vehicle you have chosen is a certified pre-owned car from a dealer that is 5 years old since its initial registration. Although the car appeared clean at first glance, having just been delivered, the car had accumulated wash scratches, water stains, and scratches over the past five years, causing light to scatter and slightly dulling the body's original clear whiteness and shine.

In order to meet Mr. N's expectations of "reviving his beloved car, which he bought secondhand, to the quality of a new car, or even better," we carried out a refresh treatment using our skilled techniques.

Zuya Factory's proud process for refreshing aged cars

1. "Cleansing Wash" to reset accumulated impurities

Before proceeding with the polishing process, we first completely break down and remove all impurities such as iron filings, water stains (scale dirt), and oil that have adhered to the body surface using specialized chemicals. Especially common in European cars, we thoroughly clean away accumulated black grime in the details, one by one, by hand. This perfect pre-treatment dramatically improves the quality of the subsequent polishing process.

2. "Precision Polishing Treatment" to eliminate 5 years' worth of scratches and dullness:

After cleansing, we select a polisher and compound suited to Audi's hard paint characteristics and perform a polishing treatment (buffing) to achieve a mirror finish. By applying masking tape and striking a delicate balance to avoid putting too much stress on the clear coat of the body, we gently yet effectively remove five years' worth of scratches and dullness. As the car is polished, the inherent pure white transparency of Audi's Ibis White (or Glacier White) is revealed, resulting in a superb finish that clearly reflects the light.

3. Impenetrable protection with original ceramic coating

After the base treatment and complete degreasing and cleaning of the body, our shop's proud original ceramic coating is applied meticulously to every detail. The ceramic coating, with its overwhelming thickness and hardness that sets it apart from typical glass coatings, further accentuates the sharp character lines of Audi vehicles. With its powerful super water-repellent properties and stain-resistant barrier, rain streaks and mud stains that are easily noticeable on white cars can be easily removed with just a car wash.

After thorough curing and drying in the booth, the ultimate S3 is complete!

After all coatings are applied, the film is cured and dried completely in the booth under appropriate temperature control to finish the job. From

the honeycomb grille at the front to the muffler cutter, every detail shines flawlessly, transforming the S3 Sportback into one that exudes an aura even better than a new car, as if "turning back the hands of time" had been done.

Mr.

N, we sincerely thank you for entrusting your precious car to Zuya Factory with such confidence. We hope you will fully enjoy driving your beautifully reborn, high-performance S3! We will also be happy to assist you with future car washes and regular maintenance.
