TBH @Simon L daytona grey was my wife's choice when I was going thro' the 2 S3 saloon orders, BUT its my car & I'll do as I want!
'Yes, dear. Just finishing the washing up & then I'll do the hoovering ... '
I know who who is the boss in my house ...
@Holtt - You must have a dusty garage or may be its a 8V S3 thing as my S4 doesn't suffer this
Daytona was my wife's choice too, I wanted red!! lol
Definitely imagining it Dave, no dirt on my bad boy
(shedloads of rain though, my god that was a downpour just now!!)
This time get it covered in C1+EX02 Dave............nothing sits on this kit for long......the rain washes my car clean now...lol

Red....??? might of known...Red for Danger....lol......
That's the plan and may even try to get it done before the winter if it arrives early October and before the weather turns all "Scottish"

Like it...lol "Weather turns all Scottish"...yeah what we lack in warm weather...we make up in Warm Hearts...after a few bottles of Buckfast....lol...Do it yerself Dave..save ye a fortune, l know its far more expensive/rip off from a pro shop,do it 2/3 panels at a time,the bonnet/bumpers/front wings....etc..just to gain some confidence in it's application.
l will easily apply this combo again myself on my next car.
Talking of Exo, I'm I right in thinking it will easily take to plastics/glass as well as metal? I'm not sure if C1 is best left off those materials. I plan on doing the wheels with Exo as well.
EXO2 can be applied to anything?,i used C1+EXO2 on my front/rear lights it did'nt take too well to the matt aluminium door mirror covers however?so l removed it before it cured.
As for glass no l would'nt personally but maybe the Pano roof,wheels?to coat these with EXO2...properly..l would take them off,so you can get into all the little nooks and crannys on the wheels, EXO2...will last far longer when applied over C1.
The C2v3 is excellent stuff apply this after EXO2....to get that ultimate glossy shine and just top up the EXO2...with the C2v3 every so often
It's not all down to what the car has been coated with, but also how the paint has been prepared before application of sealant/wax. Smooth, flat, contaminant free paint coated with a sealant or wax will be far easier to clean than paintwork that hasn't been prepared properly prior to application of the protective product(s)

Excacaly right if it's prepared right it works right, would say around 80-90% of the work is preparing the paint for the coating/wax . Mine has carbon collective on which I done myself really impressed with it hardly even have to touch the car after it's been snow foamed and rinsed off makes it a lot easier to dry too.
I love waxing cars so my own car is coated in Definitive Wax Show Edition. However, I've done various cars for friends/family/colleagues with some different sealants and coatings and have found them to give great long lasting results.

I've never been on it to be honest mate. I'm in quite a few detailing groups on facebook though!
What waxes have you got yourself?
What waxes have you got yourself?
I have used dozens of waxes over the years,some a hit most a miss and a waste of money at times, nothing compares to C1 + Exo2 + C2 v3,just my opinion,once the C1+ Exo2 are applied it's just a matter of topping up the gloss finish with C2 v3,,come the winter months applying wax is difficult because of the cold it doesn't cure nothing repels water like gtechniq Exo2 and other nano coatings from makes like nanolex and Gyeon l had toooo much time on my hands today,just a wash and a couple layers of C2v3 so easy to apply and remove no residue like some waxes give off and long-term paint maintenance is minimal as is

Gotta say you it was sounding like all work and no play with the old job mate. Sure something will come up soon. Audi salesman has gotta be a fairly decent gig, they sell themselves don't they?!!
Never mind the car detailing Dave, I reckon we're looking at 15% discount on the next car at Glasgow Audi
lol

I haven't used gtechniq before but imagine carbon collective which I have used is just the same with a different label on the bottle like most products will try gtechniq next time
