Yiv Smoked me there mate...lol thats stunning looking l only managed a wash today never even towel dried.... Hungover and was working today.... But l tried Premium easy coat....sprayed it on the wet bonnet, let it sit for a minute,then a rinse with a hose.
.Jeezus it beads awesomely and left a not a bad shine...... Should come handy for the winter.... Going for the big deal tomorrow when l am feeling better lol

Could be a polish off tomorrow :)

Think I have found a pretty decent quick gloss finish for me...a bit unconventional but been alternating between Gtechniq C2 and Autoglym high gloss finish. Applying one each month after a standard wash, dry and once over with a rapid detailer.

Beading is awesome and gloss finish seems to stay for ages, and whole routine is just over the 2 hour mark and that's with a clean round inside.

Mind numbing slow near 3 hour and 110 mile drive home from Birmingham after dropping my son at Uni.

Bumper to bumper traffic the whole way and never had one single opportunity to give it a blast , not even on the M6 out of Birmingham before you hit the roadworks, but.......

Averaged 41.9mpg...I did not believe it myself

Nice @Jedi Master i had my exhaust tips ceramic coated then I sprayed them Matt black. Wasn't sure how powder coating would cope on the exhaust.

The guy who powder coated them told me it should be no problem. I wanted gloss black and you cannot get that with ceramic coating.
 
Today I have carried out the clucth bleeder mod. Now I have nice fast and slick gear changes when giving it some.

It is bloomin expensive mate but should last at least a year maybe two, half a level teaspoon does all of the rubbers along the top of the doors and rear quarter glass which keeps them nice and supple and gives a deep black satin look. It's pretty unique that there's nothing else on the market that does the same job.

Left it at the audi dealers and borrowed a 3.0 tdi a4 avant for the weekend. Pretty quick but not liking the tiptronic box as much as my stronic on the s3, but it is nice to get rid of the bounce over speed bumps.

Try this stuff guys l used a little of it last week on the bonnet of the car,l also cleansed and waxed the rear hatch area now after a snow foam and wash the bonnet was beading far better than the rear hatch that l had waxed, so l decided to spray all of the car with the premium coat jeezo, l ain't seen beading like this since l applied Exo a year ago this stuff is off the scale, you just spray it on after a wash leave for 90 seconds then rinse off the shine is awesome aswell

Fair enough if it cost you nothing.

No tales here. The Uk importers gave us a demonstration at our workshop, literally need one squeeze of the trigger per panel then wash up the bodywork with the pressure washer. Applying more of the product creates no better effect is what they told us.

One squeeze of the trigger will not cover one panel,impossible the nozzle spray cant spread that wide mate ie...for example a front door on a sportback....which is roughly 42"...wide,besides that its awesome stuff....l was just too lazy to wax the car,but for winter detailing its perfect..
