Man that car was absolutely trashed.

Awesome job as always Phil.

I will say though, if I were in the market for a pristine RS4 I wouldn't be interested in this one, there are some things you just can't reverse and this car definitely has signs of neglect that just can't be eliminated even by your professional efforts.

Odometer appears to show 75663 miles

I would say this car appears to have been cleaned up nice

But have seen cars with half the mileage appearing more "neglected"...

Good job, Phil

I guess it's a matter of perspective. You're right, there are much lower mileage cars that are in far worse condition.

But I know my cars all look far better with more than double the miles.
