Case Study: 2020 Audi Q5 Hybrid
Dependable grocery-getter receives a complete interior and exterior car detailing service in Vancouver
2020 Audi Q5 Hybrid cleaned and detailed by Clean My Car
Today’s case study is a 2020 Audi Q5 Hybrid, in Glacier White Metallic.
The car belongs to a longtime client of ours. She also has a few other cars in the family (a Range Rover Sport, a Porsche 911 Turbo, and a Tesla Model 3), but this is her go-to car for school runs and quick errands.
How this Audi Q5 got to be cleaned and detailed by Clean My Car — background story
Aside from my client, pretty much everyone else in the family uses this Q5 on a daily basis, which means the car was in need of some much overdue love and care.
Successfully juggling work, family and social life is a tough ask of anyone, but especially challenging when you’re a young parent with three small children.
You need all the help you can get — or mental and physical collapse are just one step away.
You constantly feel that the days are not long enough for your never-ending to-do list(s), and that rest and relaxation are just distant dreams.
Driving with young children in the car typically makes for a messy interior, full of crumbs and spills, as the little ones have yet to develop their “table manners”.
And food leftovers decompose over time, attracting bacteria and filling the car with all sorts of “interesting” odours.
Which is why, to make sure the interior of the Audi is as germ-free as possible, my client also opted for our [Chemical-Free] Car Interior Sanitizing service.
Aside from killing many microorganisms, such as: bacteria, mold, viruses, allergens, etc., from places where cleaning itself can’t reach, this Ozone Shock Treatment has also a bonus side effect: it makes the interior of the car smell fresh.
Did you ever notice that, right after a storm, the air smells fresh? That is because Ozone is created by lightning.
The same way, the Ozone Shock Treatment freshens up your car’s interior, getting rid of strong odours such as: tobacco, pets, spoiled food, or even body odours.

Even with the occasional drive-through exterior wash, the exterior still looked in pretty bad shape — you couldn’t even tell the actual colour because of how dirty it was.
The car looked more like Gray than Glacier White Metallic at this point.
The exterior has regained its true colour, and it looks (almost) like a brand new car.

Audi Q5 interior car detailing service
The interior looked messy (after about a year of intensive use, and no cleaning), with a solid layer of dust on every surface, and lots of dirt and debris.
Seats were in good shape, with just surface dirt, which came out without posing much resistance.

Quick side note: Many car owners expect an interior in such condition to come out clean with “just a quick vacuum”. This is never the case. Aside from a thorough and extensive vacuuming, the carpets need to be shampooed, otherwise the improvement is minimal at best.
In this particular case, the client followed my advice, and chose the appropriate cleaning package.
A few hours of solid and meticulous cleaning, and my client’s Audi Q5 is completely transformed…

Audi Q5 interior and exterior car detailing process — final results and conclusion
We always get better results cleaning a higher-end car, such as an Audi, which is mostly because of the quality materials Audi uses in assembling their cars.
Just like anything else in life, with cars you get what you pay for. In this case, you pay more for an Audi than you’d pay for most cars, but you get much better, and more durable finishings.
The interior is now spotless — dirt and debris gone. It also smells fresh.
