Deep Cleaning My ABANDONED Audi S3: First Wash in YEARS! *Part 1*

Welcome back my abandoned Audi S3 8L to the channel. I bought this car sight unseen after it was abandoned for over 5 years. Today we make a start on cleaning it up to restore it's original shine!

Thanks for watching! :-)

[@iainwasere]

Looks good. Take the arch liners off and check behind them as they fill with mud and will rust.

[@MrMikeyc10]

Love seeing an old car get some tlc.

[@FlynnBellamyCars]

Makes me smile seeing unloved performance cars like this, getting the attention that they deserve! 😄❤

[@OliverReilly1]

Iron fallout is usually from the cars (and other cars) brake discs. The pads wear the discs down and that’s where it gets embedded in the paint. It’s not usually from the railway as if that was the case, every station would be covered in rust

[@garyburton6833]

Well done luke, its so satisfying deep cleaning a car so dirty as this one. Its looks have been transformed. Nice one😊.

[@hampshirephoto]

It really is!

[@garymcgregor7048]

Could have done with a clay mitt there as well when all the snow foam on. Can feel it taking all the crap out the paint.

[@giovannili817]

nice, i love s3 8l

[@APASSIONFORDETAILING]

As a detailer and youtuber this is a brilliant effort, looks great well done 🎉

[@hampshirephoto]

Thank you mate!

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

I do love seeing an abandoned car is showing some love. However I did expect to see a lot more than a detail in video in one of your videos mate!!! 😂

[@vagdude6397]

I am so excited for this series

[@jonnyb4271]

It needs a really good clay bar then machine polish 2-3 stage. Touch the scratches in then machine polish when dry (paint which already has clear coat in) then add a ceramic 👌

[@jamesgarrard4361]

She is a sweet i remeber working on these back when they were new ,my favouret was the blue s3 quattro in ch ,this is when all was just right not too much tech and emissions bs sweet quality some eary ecu software glitches with the begining or early days of p codes and corperate bs, well done buddy

[@sleepercell9926]

That was the car to have back when I was a teenager. I loved the flared arches. Very subtle but made the world of difference compared to the standard A3's of the time.

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

Great job and so satisfying Love the older cars a modern classic I would say. I own a 18yr old r32 and I love looking after it and doing the preventive maintenance I will keep it forever Looking forward to the next stage Good luck thank you

[@davidkane8660]

Could also be the top mounts that noise but if your renewing all the suspension conponents i think your be ok. Also heads up the steering racks of this era are known to be an issue

[@chrisp4899]

These 20vt engines have alot of character I remember my Leon 20vt turbo whistle even with airbox fitted,my tfsi vrs didn't sound as good

[@Shane-zx4ps]

Such a cool car, they came out when I was in my early 20s, and I still like them

[@kylieboi01]

love this s3 8l owned 2 always have special in ❤. from S.A

[@bunter6]

Loved my wee Nogaro 8L, a classic looking hot hatch. Got an 8V now which is obviously much better car but it'll never be a classic like the 8L.

[@adamc2vts]

I’m just glad you fixed the wonkey rear number plate!!

[@paulpateman6723]

Like your BMW content but really looking forward to see this car brought back to life 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

[@moretapster]

I hope it won’t be another week before I see a new episode of this car But wow, it looks incredible… keep it up Sir! ❤️‍🔥

[@Automotive-Mayfair23]

All cars deserve good owners who will look after them.

[@timclarke3097]

Why no clay bar ? 🤔

[@chroniccrypto75]

Not finished yet still need to fix swirls and scratches no point doing clay if it still needs paintwork.

[@jammyjamjam1687]

I do these washes at work. Love using that liquid clay (iron out) Completely understand about it working better on white

[@AmX963]

i am so happy that you revive this car

[@videoshares]

excellent work there. I know you cleaned the wheel arches, however you need to put it on a ramp, remove the 4 wheels and the 4 wheel arches and give the wheel arches and the body work a good clean. A car like this can use the waxoyl treatment with all the plastics off, surface rust wire brushed, wiped clean with white sprit and then waxoyl sprayed

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks! Good point, noted

[@tuurkishman]

Love the s3 , hope you do all the oils and cooling brake fluids and forge the engine and a tune then dyno lol

[@Dexspic]

So beautiful this Audi i love this generation of S3 i want to buy one too, with the cleaning looks like new, now a bit interior cleaning a bit of diy on interior and u have a very nice car, i wait the next video of this car i love it!

[@TomDavies86]

Good job Luke. Looks so much better. It’s clear when it comes to detailing you’re stronger here with your skill set. These S3’s were great cars. I had a MK1 Leon Cupra R with the BAM 225 engine lump and they made great cars to have some fun with. Always wanted an S3 with the Quattro but back then when these were still the current cars out, I couldn’t stretch to the S3!

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks mate really appreciate that!

[@andyrantshumanphilosopher7571]

So, clay bar and 2 stage?

[@paddyici6629]

that noise will be the strut top mounts mate

[@slonkijippie]

What happened to the S1?

[@Master1906]

Going on the youtube bandwagon of starting but never finishing projects for the views

[@alpha_00456]

Crashed

[@DOBS13]

Probably sold as people were giving him shit for attempting to fix it😂

[@AltunAutomotiveTR]

He has no skill/ knowledge so probably was scared of fixing it and sold it as it was

[@Timmax95]

Go to his channel and watch the last video about the S1. He explains it there.

[@ansarislam1428]

My neighbour had one of these great piece of motor and the sound of it 😍

[@markymark3295]

Great job mate love to see a car like this brought back to life looked forward to seeing the paint correction stages and it would be cool to see some power mods hybrid turbo 😎💪👌👍

[@wullielove8680]

171k miles 4 years ago your a brave man taking that on

[@R19Robbin]

Allready love this project 🔥🔥

[@user-tn1vc1xz5d]

When I buy a new car, I don't consider it fully mine until I've cleaned it 😂😂😂

[@bigirch690]

word of the day, "agitate" hahaha, all jokes aside, I really enjoy watching this, keep it up!

[@hampshirephoto]

😂😂 thanks buddy

[@mohitvyas240SX]

Love the process bro ❤️ love from India 🇮🇳 ❤️

[@chroniccrypto75]

Get some e46 bmw rear push out window motors so you don’t have to do it manually. Push of a button. Did it with my imola yellow 2002 S3. Should snowfoam bottom to top what I was told anyway. Probably 🐂 💩

[@BlutoandCo]

Gravity. Layers. With the bottom of the vehicle always being worse, spray bottom, over lap middle, over lap windows etc As the chemical runs down your getting more chemical on the worst part of the car. Rinse top down He missed a few things out, but it's not his job.

[@SteveAggasild]

Can u list the products you used or will that come later ? Thanks.

[@BlutoandCo]

Next time: Leave wipers up Plates off Fuel cap open One bucket method fine, as long as you use the actual bucket 😂 Meguairs wash plus ideal for this Tar remover then iron remover. Oh, gloves.

[@DarrenJackson-id5yz]

Looks good mate. The shine on the drivers side at the end was 🔥🔥 and that was before clay and a machine polish 😮. New follower here

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks for the sub!

[@tejzino1598]

Can’t wait to see the interior get cleaned

[@hampshirephoto]

Video now live!

[@woodyr5gt113]

I remember one of our techs buying one of these new when he got divorced 😂

[@AdamGibson-td4co]

Got a Porsche 996 Turbo S BBK set up for sale that’ll fit this if your interested 😎

[@chroniccrypto75]

Get some e46 bmw rear push out window motors so you don’t have to do it manually. Push of a button. Did it with my imola yellow 2002 S3. Also paint that grey panel on the rear bumper…. Maybe charcoal cause black would look too much.

[@chroniccrypto75]

No dinner plate splitter tho 😂 😊

[@DOBS13]

The best car on the channel, more on this mate🤝

[@hampshirephoto]

Glad you think so!

[@hayhursts4011]

Love this content pal love a classic hot hatch looking forward for what’s to come on this S3👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@haz_raf]

Really good vid. I like this kinda stuff, cleaning, detailing etc. I would have liked it if the camera stayed still though throughout the whole vid. I’m guessing you had it on your head?

[@hampshirephoto]

Thank you!

[@alanparkinson5724]

Looking good mate great job

[@mrlionrocks]

TIP!! always wear gloves,all these chemicals and the human body,don't mix 👍🏻 Great work so far bro

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks for the tip

[@ronanoloughlin7516]

Not removing the plates bugged me, thats the first thing i do..

[@WillHall1989]

New subscriber here, really enjoying the S3 series. Thanks 🙏🏻 👏

[@hampshirephoto]

Welcome aboard!

[@CallumSmith-yz9mb]

Loving the series mate already

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks so much!

[@jack4553]

what snow foam did you use, that stuck on really well

[@fasteee]

0:35 what's that tune luke?

[@mrthiccnikyt5877]

“AGITATE” 😂

[@waysidecarvaleting]

Gloves Luke!! Wear gloves when using all the products. Good job though!! That was nearly a full decon than a maintenance wash.

[@astonrichardson4309]

I love a clean car, i do my own as weather permits..

[@harrisondrummer]

Needs a claybar and machine polish will get it gleaming

[@kamilkrait5873]

Track build please 😁

[@Romans828KJV]

You gonna race it Luke?

[@robertchalmers8487]

Nice work!

[@hampshirephoto]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kevinneary2283]

Nice job black is a nightmare

[@ZTIBIKE]

I never wash my car,plenty of rain falls in the uk to do it.

[@scott2495]

Scraping the barrel here doing video on cleaning a car 🥱

[@pb3382]

Yet the jealous hater returns AGAIN. Always on here moaning and hating on people. Yet ALWAYS return. So who is scraping the barrel if it brings YOU back time and time again, your jealousy has you going mad its amazing 😂😂😂😂

[@fatbob6729]

This has to be the longest we've actually.seen you get.your hands on. Normally your just paying others to donthe work.😂😂😂😂

[@hampshirephoto]

Doing my best!

[@garymcgregor7048]

I remember getting mine in 2002. It was w reg and 18k. I wanted a tt that was sitting next to it but decided it was a bit too small. Lovely motor but god it was thirsty 😂. Got a 225 tt now as a second car Lovely motor, but god is it thirsty 😂😂😂

[@brummybulldog]

In all honestly as much as I like your channel I think it’s a bit confused currently

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]

@brummybulldog I think that’s fair, but makes more sense when you consider this is just his side hustle, he’s got a full time job in his parents’ business

[@stuarthooper2258]

What took you so long ? Almost forgot you this car.

[@pressuresonmobiledetail2229]

Hope we dont have to wait 10 years for part 2

[@hampshirephoto]

Live now!

[@cheesedoodle4236]

No clay?

[@KwikBuffs]

This car this content 🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@barrywakefield4942]

I was so hoping for an S1 update and now an old S3 appears instead Has the S1 been sold ?😢

[@hampshirephoto]

Update coming soon

[@TheEryk03]

now polish it

[@vernonheine5476]

I prefer these details compared to these supercars

[@GizmoGTI]

bet your hatch where the spare is stored is flooded

[@stuartlawrenson4632]

Love your vids but Those leaves at the start def sprinkled on !

[@hampshirephoto]

I’m not one to fake my videos

[@dym0223]

[@zkilerex9661]

My head hurts after watching your video i have recomendation for more views buy camera with stabilization or dont put it on ur head while ur body shake bcs its annoying But the video is good 👍 no hate

[@camdes7148]

Bro said agitated 50 something times

[@pb3382]

[@joecarrolljnr]

A maintenance wash!? Poor car needs two days of work at least.

[@FrancoisIbiza]

The video is too shaky.. Next time set your rock steady on so the video is less shaky

[@phiIiptx]

6 hours to clean a car ffs lol

[@user-zo4is7pl8g]
