High-Performance Daily Driver Gets High-Performance Protection
This 2025 Audi SQ5 came into Steel City Auto Spa as a sleek, performance-focused daily driver. With its aggressive styling, powerful engine, and premium finish, the owner wanted to keep it looking brand-new while making it easier to maintain. Since this SQ5 gets used every day, ceramic coating was the perfect choice to protect the paint and trim from Pittsburgh’s unpredictable road conditions.
Step One: Two-Stage Exterior Detail & Decontamination
Before any correction or coating work begins, we always start with a thorough two-stage exterior detail and paint decontamination. This includes a pH-neutral foam wash, iron remover to dissolve embedded contaminants, and a clay bar treatment to remove anything bonded to the paint. This step ensures a clean, smooth surface for proper bonding of the ceramic coating and enhances the final results.
One-Step Paint Correction for Gloss & Clarity
Even on a new Audi, minor imperfections like dealership swirls or light scratches can dull the paint. That’s why we performed a one-step paint correction, carefully refining the surface to remove those light defects and maximize the gloss. The result was a much deeper shine and cleaner reflections—bringing out the best in this SQ5’s already bold design.
System X Max G+ on Paint & Trim for Long-Term Protection
Once the paint was fully corrected, we applied System X Max G+ Ceramic Coating to all paint and trim. Max G+ is System X’s flagship coating, offering extreme gloss, chemical resistance, and a lifetime warranty. It creates a hardened layer of protection that resists UV damage, road salt, acid rain, and more—perfect for a vehicle that’s on the road every day and exposed to the elements.
Wheels Off: System X Wheel+ on Barrels, Faces & Calipers
We took this job a step further by removing all four wheels and applying System X Wheel+ to the wheel faces, inner barrels, and brake calipers. This high-temp ceramic coating is built to handle harsh conditions, resisting brake dust buildup, road grime, and corrosion. It also makes cleaning your wheels and brakes much easier—so your Audi keeps that clean, premium look all around.
System X Glass+ on the Windshield for Safer Driving
To round out the package, we treated the windshield with System X Glass+. This specialized coating creates a hydrophobic surface that repels rain, snow, and grime, significantly improving visibility during poor weather. It also makes bug splatter and road film much easier to remove. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference for daily comfort and safety.
This SQ5 Is Ready for the Road—and Ready to Shine
Now fully protected and detailed to perfection, this 2025 Audi SQ5 is prepped for whatever the road throws at it. With full ceramic protection from top to bottom, it’s easier to clean, harder to damage, and guaranteed to stay looking incredible. If you’re looking to protect your daily driver or luxury vehicle the right way, Steel City Auto Spa is Pittsburgh’s go-to ceramic coating expert.
