Abandoned Audi R8 sports car, valued dream car of two Ohio men, surprisingly uncovered after extending period of neglect in the wilderness
In a remarkable turn of events, an abandoned Audi R8, discovered outside an Ohio house four years ago, has been given a new lease of life thanks to the meticulous work of WD Detailing. The restored supercar is now ready for a new owner, with the auction set to begin on SBX Cars, the global premium car auction platform.
The Audi R8, covered in a thick layer of dust and neglect, was a far cry from its former glory. However, after undergoing a comprehensive makeover, the vehicle has been transformed into a fabulous piece of machinery, ready to hit the roads once more.
The restoration process began with a detailed and careful cleaning, starting from the car's first wash in years. WD Detailing employed the two-bucket method, a technique that helps prevent paint damage by minimising dirt reintroduction during washing. They also applied a thick snow foam to loosen dirt and contaminants on the car's surface safely.
Following the wash, a complete wheel cleaning and detailed bodywork were performed to restore the car's appearance. Meticulous detailing aimed at removing years of accumulated grime, oxidation, and brake dust was carried out, with great care taken to preserve the vehicle’s original finishes.
WD Detailing documented the process, showing the car go from abandoned and neglected to a near brand-new condition. The transformation highlights the intensity and expertise required in cleaning abandoned supercars like this Audi R8 V10.
The restoration process not only showcases the technical side of the work but also the emotional impact, as WD Detailing often shares not only the technical side but also the meaningful reveal to car owners or enthusiasts after extensive restoration work.
Now, the restored Audi R8 is up for auction on SBX Cars, a global premium car auction platform. The auction is powered by a website, making it accessible to potential buyers from all over the world.
The original house owner moved four years ago, leaving the Audi R8 and other items at the old house. The new house owners allowed the previous owners to store their things at the old house, unaware of the treasure hidden outside.
The auction for the restored Audi R8 is soon to start, giving car enthusiasts and collectors the opportunity to own a piece of history. The Audi R8, after its makeover, looks fabulous and is ready for its new journey.
