    Caliper colour change - ideas needed

    My S3 8v (daytona Grey) has red callipers and i'm bored with them after a few years. I reckon the Porsche viper green is too much for a man of my mature years. Is yellow just as bad ? I reckon it would show up well against the paintwork. The turquoise-ey blues and the like don't do it for...

Ideally looking for replacement that won't kink so easily but some I've seen online aren't recommended for...

    Pad wash recommendations

    I was looking for ideas for polishing pad cleaners. Chemical Guys and others do bespoke products with matching brushes which look good but then I saw Jon (?) on Forensic Detailing demonstrating cleaning pads with APC and a toothbrush. Seemed pretty effective. Anyone else use that method and...

    My Karcher K5 compact was just over 3 years old when it gave up the ghost. Turned out to be the fuse. I guess it'll be on it's last legs now so interested to see recommendations and what you end up going for BH.
