Takes years to develop a shelf like that ......to be fair, that is one heck of a set of shelves he has there!

very true, and ££'s to increase the size of the shelf
Still like this photo... .. almost a year ago..... Think it had been machine polished and Fireball Fusion wax applied, so . . finally l get a weekend off this weekend so decided I am going to try and get the same results.. Even though they're still blasting the roads with salt up here .....
Challenge laid down mate, we need a before (last year) and after
If l can be *****....got new reg plates as well...still waiting on the Audi Sport rear plate holder from my son so l can fit the new rear as l have already fitted the front yin

Certainly is - with BSD centre stage on the top shelf
. There might be a new game for us to play here chaps - how many detailing products can you recognise from the upside down and back-to-front garage reflection shot. Lol. Will try and post a pic of mine tomorrow to kick things off. Loving your garage set-up @Bristle Hound 
Used Done & Dusted Si Edition again today, with a different method this time (as per your recommendation @q5man). Normally with a product like this, I’d do one panel at a time (apply and buff), but today I applied on the whole car at once, left 10-15 mins to cure, then lightly buffed. This stuff does not streak and is so ridiculously easy to buff that this worked well on a cool overcast evening. Bouncers claim this stuff can be layered, and it might just be my wishful thinking (need to see the results in sunlight), but I think they might be right. Photo below isn’t the best (taken at 7:30pm, so twilight and overcast, and doesn’t do it justice - the rear quarter panel though is a good ‘reflection’ of the real life results though). Now my go to QD to add some gloss at the end of a wash routine (but still have several others on the shelf to use up, lol).
That is a cracker - looks wet mate, shows what proper paint correction with a DA can achieve.
Question (not intending to be a tool/wind you up - genuine question). Have you seen yours next to a new Turbo Blue Audi yet? Wondering if Audi have pulled a fast one and made an exclusive paint colour mainstream?
@Jimbob76 - If you look further to the left of the BSD (as you look at the pic) you will see my pre made BSD mixes too lolCertainly is - with BSD centre stage on the top shelf
Oh & that shelf is 2 deep too. Plenty of gear lurking behind the front row, including a well used bottle of Bouncer's D&D
& thank you
S3 looking fab buddy
Loving the results of the Si D&D
May yet treat myself to a bottle ...

Think I can see some Carpro Perl, a couple of other Sonax products and maybe some Gyeon Cure on the top shelf as well buddy? Lol. Good game. Oh and WD40 on the middle shelf, but that was easy
Si D&D - get some - if you’re persuasive enough to get Imran @in2detailing to throw in a couple of his excellent 470gsm edgeless microfibres into the deal (as per recent offer), its the bargain of the year.

No garage to play that game, but will enjoy the results.
Nice work as always @Jimbob76. It is so easy to buff off D&D

I couldn't be certain it's the same colour mate but it's close, drove past a turbo blue A1 and thought Yup it's a bit lighter than Voodoo blue but then l see a turbo blue A5 sportback on my daily commute and think that it is the same colour, looks dreadful on a A5 though.... Yeah it's rather annoying to say the least love to sue the barstewards, they've done it in the past with Sepang and Daytona which started off as Exclusive paints, but to be honest l am over it mate it's only paint colour.... love my car and its options...

I feel a bit of a fraud posting this on here, as I only snow foamed it and shampooed it - not exactly a full detailing. I started to polish it & did about a square foot of the bonnet before light started fading. Polish, wax and tyre dressing may be on the to do list for tomorrow.
Time for the "FINISHER" to come out that bag mate or I'll buy it back
Not too shoddy , post QD .

Reckon @q5man has machine_polisher_phobia.And I'll buy the mini one. No point in it gathering the dust

Fairy Liquid and machine polishers, yes
Haha, fair comment. Have already used the mini to do the door shuts on both cars and polished alloys ahead of coating. Been nervous to tackle car with DA, as led to believe only wet sand will remove existing coating, but to be honest have a feeling it is gone on the bonnet so was planning on doing that 1st. I do now own a d*gs b*llocks Flex XFE

You used too much FL mate
Time to take the leap then NevHaha, fair comment. Have already used the mini to do the door shuts on both cars and polished alloys ahead of coating.
