Default Just finished detailing the S4...pics inside...

Well, it's winter and dirty outside...and I really don't want to take the S4 outside now that it is all clean, but I figured it was time for a good mid-winter detailing. Good old wash and wax.

First shot:

From the side, finally got a suspension. Stasis street sports, still need to adjust them, but waiting to do that till the summer wheels go on:

Front corner, including the other ride: a 2004 A8L...

Other corner:

From the back corner, with the lift in the background that this S4 seems to love having to use all the time lol:

The other ride, 2004 A8L:

Nice. It's cool how you can wash your car inside the garage with those drains.

Default Definately...garage is heated with a floor drain running the whole width of the garage. Made sure

to have this done when the house was built so that cars could be washed inside, and, makes floor cleanup much easier!

Very much so. I love anything that is well thought out. Especially garages.

Default Well thanks! It works out great...and let me tell you, if you ever build a garage, I can

suggest this. On our floor we had the concrete polished by a company called terrco. They use a big machine to "polish" the concrete from a rough finish down to a perfectly smooth, shiny surface, that is also non-porous. So if you happen to spill oil on it, basically just wipe it up, no stains. If there is one, a little wax and grease remover take it right off. Also makes it easy to wash with a hose and squeege. But I would have to say the best investment I have made in the garage is the lift. Between doing my clutch once, and then pulling the engine later, the lift has been a life saver in so many ways. Makes a job take half the time it does without a lift.

Default which lift did you get, and what are the height requirements?

All I could get out of my new 1000sqft garage is 11' under the opened door.

Looks like we have the same insulated doors...

Default It is a direct lift pro-park 9 plus four post lift. I believe the walls in the garage are about

11 and a half feet. The garage door is a normal setup, not a high lift door. The reason I was able to get by with this is because the garage stall the lift is in has a 12 foot set-back area where the tool box and workbench are, which allowed me to place the lift in front of the garage door and opener, allowing full height of the garage for the lift. I can lift the s4 high enough for me to walk right under it, with several inches to spare from the roof of the car to the ceiling, and I am 6'2". The pictures should describe it a little better. Let me know if you have any more questions. I included a link to the lift website. Also, the doors and openers are Overhead Door Co.


Here is looking at the front of the garage, where the lift is tucked forward into the space where the workbench and toolbox are:

Looking at the back end of the garage and lift:

The garage door:

And the garage door opener and a shot of the sidewall for a reference:

Hope this answers your questions!<ul><li><a href="http://www.directlift.com/propark9plus.asp">Pro-park 9 Plus</a></li></ul>
