Now with wax. Nothing like getting the machine polisher out to become familiar with the curves!! There’s loads of them round the doors and arches in particular - I need to get some smaller pads
Congrats on the purchase mate, looks amazing with the gloss black. I'll concede that the gloss black trim does look better, but for me as a daily the alu pack is a bit more liveable.I was sure I want kemora but that combo give me answerblue its super sporty and fit car well but only with black optics

Either way, turbo looks awesome. Lost count of the number of people who have commented how loud but smart mine looks. In low light it just shines.

Av always got by with using 2 flex Da machines with 125 ml pads and 80 ml pads no need for machines/pads as small as 50 ml and 25 ml...as ye can hand polish small areas... actually my smaller Flex DA is far better in every way to use than it's bigger brother

Got 6 and 3in plates so will just be buying some 80mm pads to use.
Do like the idea of a little mini polisher and pads but will see how i get on with the 80 pads (once purchased) first.
Rupes iBrid Nano is the bomb and one of my main go to machine polishers.
You simply can’t get right up to the edges with a larger polisher, and ideally need 25mm pad. Hand polishing is ok, but can induce marring, which whilst may not be seen by the average bod, under workshop lighting and scangrip hand held torch, it’s an area that is commonly missed, especially by dealers and paint repair shops.

Vx Corsa Ltd Green is another marmite colour on any Audi....can't fathom out why someone/dealer would order it on a RS3....hard to sell l think ...given the price they'll want for it
You referred to the average bod....so how many times is the "average bod" gonna pull out his £500 bangers worth of Rupes ibrid namo polisher .....? Car detailers are folks who've made a living out of a hobby fair enough but it's not rocket science...and certainly not a professional job....more of a hobbyists
I think that’s a little harsh. I’m a weekend warrior and enjoy cleaning it up but I appreciate those who do it professionally (nom hobbyists) and are good at what they do. There is skill and patience required that not all possess to get a
detail and finish. Mine is maybe 90% according to my ocd demons… that extra 10% is not easy to achieve imho.
I always have black cars though so that may be my fault

Yeah, personal choice is the best way, love the variety in all the models. Just wish everyone could have keys in hand for their chosen spec.

Am ok with THAT...l have been detailing cars for decades ....but l wouldn't do it for a living as its too much hard work....and financially not worth it considering the effort required and l earn more in my own job that av been doing for 40 yearsTotally disagree. And I mean TOTALLY

Went to Cheddar Gorge and Reservioir to fly the drone. The car attracts a lot of attention! In both car parks, found people taking pictures of the car and wanting to hear some revs. Never got that with the R

Turbo Saloon? Just seen someone post on FB parked next to one with their Kyalami SBWent to Cheddar Gorge and Reservioir to fly the drone. The car attracts a lot of attention! In both car parks, found people taking pictures of the car and wanting to hear some revs. Never got that with the R

Yup
When we came back to the car while parked in the Gorge a young lady was taking some pics, and then asked if I could do some revs for her to film... no idea where that got posted
Didn't see any other 8Ys myself.

wich still in people head its premium brand plus rs means proper car haha 
Swapped out the supplied numberplates for ones without the dealer tag sticking out at the bottom, and went for a drive to make sure they wouldn't fall off.
How did you find the front plate/what tape did you use?
I did mine last week front and rear, the rear is not an issue but I had to double stack 3M VHB strips on the front to clear the raised areas on the grill. I'll not overly convinced it was the best choice for the front as VHB lacks flexibility compared to foam based tape. They're still on but some of the pads have settled in with 50% of the surface not in contact with plate/grill. Not going anywhere, just looks a bit poor.
I used VHB (specifically this, which I ordered when I swapped my plates back on the Golf to trade it in). I have a strip of it each end, probably an inch or so in from the short edge. Happy with the contact area on the grill pattern when I eyeballed it, and made sure to apply pressure over the tape for some 10s of seconds. After an hour or so gave it an experimental wobble and it felt solid so happy with it. Happy to grab some pics of the front when I next have the car out if you want?
Loving TB on the Saloon. Between that, Kyalami and Daytona I think they are the nicest colours personally. I just wish they were metallic to show the folds/creases easier.
I think someone said the Kemora is metallic and has specks of purple etc in the sun, I havent seen a Kemora in real life apparently, my car is Kemora so I'm interested to know! Regardless.. keen for my Racing Blue Mica to arrive next year!
