    Parking Charge Notice and NHS

    Sorry, should have responded sooner :blush: We had a referral and they have run some more tests. It seems they have ruled out IBS (blood profile is not anywhere near the same) and they are also ruling out the appendix as there doesn't seem to be any inflammation showing up. It's a bit if a...

    scratches

    Try something like GTechniq P1 on a foam applicator pad. It's a great polish, breaks down very well and can remove some significant scratches :thumbsup:

    Anyone had ceramic glasscoat applied to new car ?

    I've used CCC Ceramishild and GTechniq C1 on my cars and currently have C1+ GTechniq EXOv2 to be applied on Mrs Beans new A3 Cab. :icon_thumright: Like you not sure if I would trust a dealer to put these types of coatings on if I'm completely honest - I'd be looking for a specialist detailer...

    Gap/Return To Invoice Insurance

    I have GAP on my car (2012 RR Sport) but as yet haven't taken it out on Mrs Beans A3 Cab, that said, I spoke with Aviva and RTI is included for the first year with their insurance, who we are with, so worth checking if you already have some sort of short term cover.

    Parking Charge Notice and NHS

    Gtechniq sealants on white cars ;)

    That's the norm, I did the same a few years ago. Ended up buying then subsequently selling a whole load of stuff on there. Now, I just look for easy maintenance products with minimal effort as I don't have the time to spend 4-5 hours cleaning the car - hence GTech fits my needs perfectly...

    Gtechniq sealants on white cars ;)

    GTechniq fan here too. Just ordered EXOv2 and also received C2v3 last week. Hope to get them on the cars in the next couple of weeks. Really is easy maintenance once you've done it with these type of products. :yes:

    DAing a Phantom Black A3

    The Megs DA is a good bit of kit. You could also look at the DAS-6 machine. It's a little cheaper and will do the job just as we'll. Below is a good kit with the Megs microfibre pads which will suit the Audi paint nicely. Remember though, always start with the lowest abrasion combination, as...

    Alloy Wheel Sealant. Choice of 2

    Alloy Wheel Sealant. Choice of 2

    The AF products are good :thumbsup:, but I think the smart money would go with GTechniq (C1, 4 or 5, or EXO) :whistle2:

    Good Experiences with Audi Dealers

    10/10 Purchasing experience from Chelmsford Audi (Dominic Beeson) :icon_thumright: on the 3 occasions I bought from them (A4 Cab, A6 and A3 Cab). Would recommend them definitely. Can't really comment on the after sales as have rarely had the cars long enough to require their servicing :whistle2:

    New A3 Cabrio

    :laugh: Yup, just about. It's never going to win a drag race, but is as punchy as the 1.6 TDI (we TD'd both back to back) and will spend 95% of its life doing local trips, school runs etc, so is plenty fast enough for SWMBO ;)
