Car Detailing for Audi A7

Detailing your Audi A7

The A7 is a long hatchback with frameless doors and a glass-heavy dash, so cleaning it is mostly about glass and seals. We clean the roof seals, polish the shallow rear window when it has spotted and keep the haptic touchscreens streak-free. The hatch exposes the cargo carpet to winter slush, so it gets extracted, and the paint gets a proper polish because Audi's clear coat can take it, followed by a sealant for the salt season.

What we watch for on a A7

• Frameless door glass leaves a dirt line along the roof seal; we clean the channel each visit so the glass stays clear after rain
• The long hatch glass sits at a shallow angle and collects water spots and salt haze; a glass polish is needed once spots have etched
• RS 7 cars have carbon inlays and optional carbon exterior trim that should be polished lightly and coated against UV dulling
• The hatch opens the whole rear glass, so the cargo carpet sees slush in winter and benefits from an extraction
• Dual haptic touchscreens and the gloss-black console need screen cleaner and a lint-free towel rather than all-purpose spray

Luxury cars: soft paint, delicate trim

Premium interiors use more leather, open-pore wood and gloss trim, and premium paint is often softer. We use gentler chemistry, soft microfibre and slower machine passes so nothing is marred.
