Decided to not leave either of the cars again for that long. Going to get two chargers for both the cars so, would appreciate some suggestions / recommendations.

@V6_Man - I have 2 Ctek MXS 5.0 'sWhich trickle charger you have bought @A4A4. S4 was parked up in the garage a day before Lockdown_V_3.0 and took it out Saturday night last weekend for ‘essentials run’. The battery was fine though but the tyres were kind of stuck to the floor. Also, it was after about 3-5 hard stops that my confidence in the brakes was restored as the docs were rusty .
Although parked outside, it was pretty much the same on the A3 so, took it out for a run on Sunday.

Again a bit of topic, due to the current year most of us have had. The tyres have lasted alot longer than usual.
What are your opinions on swapping the rears to the fronts?
Rears have 5.5m tread left and the fronts both 3.5m tread on them.
I tend to buy all 4 new tyres at the same time. Bought these 4 Goodyear eagle F1's in September 2018 and have done so far 16,000 miles on them. Really pleased on how long these have lasted and been the best for wear.
How best to maximise the tryes?
Just wondering what you guys do.
You are indeed the most dedicated detailer on here and your car is thee example we all have to follow
Stunning example of an exceptionally well kept car @A4A4. The depth and the gloss is epic!
Thanks @V6_Man, nice to hear it coming from you, yours are just as well looked after! How's your mega garage going? Feel more garage envy coming on when that's done.Stunning example of an exceptionally well kept car @A4A4. The depth and the gloss is epic!
Correct, I applied the larger areas with cotton pads and used the cotton buds for the edging and the corners. Left it for 5 mins and then, just buffed off with a MF/cloth.@A4A4 sorry to revisit your work with Plast-RX and MMI screen (or not sorry because it's great work you did!), but I recently got an A4 Avant with the Virtual Cockpit and it's got scratches in the anti-glare all over the right side. There is no way on this earth that I'm taking the time/effort to remove the VC so will need to do it in situ. Did you apply the Plast-RX with cotton pads and buds and then wipe off with microfibre towels? Or did you use towels to apply?
I'm thinking I'll mask off the outer plastic and then go at the anti-glare from there.

If you going to use Plast-RX on a VC screen. If I was you, I would try a tiny bit in a discreet area first with a cotton bud, not seen it been applied to such a large area on the newer VC displays. It may be different than mine. Good luck with it.
Hello everyone!
I hope you are well.
I have an Audi A3 8v from 2013 and I have some weird spots/marks on my MMI screen. They seems to be underneath.. I really don't know. I'll attach some pics. Is there any way to get rid of those marks from my screen?
thank you for your time!
Car is still looking like new mate a Credit to youLast month was new tyres time -
Gone for another set of 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's again. My others lasted over 3 years (kept the old 2 rears still had average 5 mm left on them, to sell on) these were really good wearing tyres and handled superbly, so went for the asymmetric 5.
Set of 4 fitted for £341.56 from Costco which was a bargain price and made the decision to choose these tyres more easier.
After selling my used rear 2 tyres it ended working out £70 a corner for the New Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's.
Hoping last and perform as well as the last ones, time will tell.
The 4 tyres were dressed while still brand new and clean. Couple coats of AG tyre gel then finished off with back to black.
Liking the rim protection on these tyres bit better than the asymmetric 3's.
