I have just now realised that you're actually not joking regarding using the toothpaste! :) I will try and report back

I have tons of micro dents on my windshield (like tiny stone chips). Has anybody successfully been able to polish these off? I got 3M glass polishing compound.

I'm going to attempt machine polishing this weekend for the first time, there is a good write up at polish bliss: What Polish Should I Use? | Car Care Advice | Polished Bliss

PS: I'm going to use dual action polisher (for the first time)

Basically my question is whether I can use the same polishing compound (i.e. the one that I'm going to use for paint) on headlamps?

Some say dipping doesn't produce realistically looking carbon fibre look. The process simply prints the pattern which appears flat

I would happily pay £100s A full set of carbon fibre trim for my Audi A6 costs $3,360.00!!! (source: Carbon Designz Audi A6 carbon interior trim set - complete - A6 C7/4G - A6 - Audi Exclusive Carbon Fiber Designz) The question is how easy is it to remove the surround chrome bits

Looks good. I have stickers but didn't put them yet on the calipers, thinking they would not survive pressure washing. My stickers are in red should look good with my set up

Has anybody wrapped their interior trim? How easy/difficult was it? How did you go about the chrome surrounds? Please post a picture or two. Thanks

I presume "S-Line" is a sticker?

The car has done 17k miles and the white headliner looks dirty. What is the best possible way to clean it? Products, technique etc? I want it Vanish clean :) (can I actually use it?)

That's my point! I'm not trying to be a jehovah witness here and convince everybody to only purchase cars with s-tronic. PS: I started driving 15 years ago, 6 of which were on manual, but then it had always been an automatic and I will never go back to manual again. However my fiancee is about...

* Pedal Box - like it, because it makes driving a lot easier. The right leg doesn't have to work that hard if you set it to max :) * I would really like a decent HUD, but so far I can't find a decent one :/ * Ordered a bluetooth ODB adapter so I can read telemetry, faults etc from my smartphone.

Ok let me clarify - technically better (a similar comparison could be between an old classic car and a new Lambo). Some might prefer the manual and it is fine by me, they might feel more "connected to the car" etc. I only got slightly agitated when someone implied that s-tronic is for women...
