Well done that man. That’s a quick flip on the A4 Avant though! The new X3 is about the only SUV out there that does interest me - tidy looking motor mate. Will check out your new car post.
The autumn detailing order went in today. I was proud of myself, only a couple of ‘chemicals’ in the order (must use up what’s on my shelf, so I resisted getting stuff I’d like but don’t need), the rest were ‘tools’...

- Kwazar spray bottle as it has a weighted ‘pendulum’ at the bottom on the tube that goes into the bottle, so if you hold it sideways it’ll still spray and not ‘stall’ - solves a frustration with the current bottle I use for Surfex HD (for cleaning tyres, engine bay etc).
- Rag company applicator sponge. For levelling off QD/paint sealant before buffing. Proper plush microfibre sponge, not terry cloth. Kinder to paint.
- MF Madness Incredipad - bought a cheaper copy of this 18 months ago, but it’s had its day now and this will be better. I already have their wheel brush (flat version is best for the S3), and their wheel mitt - both ace quality. Went for pad instead of mitt as prefer to be able to easily flip the pad and use the other side - fewer trips back to the buckets.
- Detail Factory Brush - for badges/emblems/window seals/grilles/door handles/all the fiddly bits etc - softest and best brush out there. Kinder to paint than a boars’ hair brush.
- Colourlock Leathershield. Top anti-friction coating for your leather. I’ve taken to using this a lot more frequently recently - a little bit on the drivers seat every week (takes seconds) - confident this will keep the drivers leather in tip-top shape for a LOT longer.
- Bilt Hamber Auto Foam. ‘Nuff said. The best pre-wash snow foam out there IMO. You get best results (by far), by mixing it with hot water (more foam this way). It’s not the snowiest of ‘show’ foams, but it does clean the best.
That should do me for a while...
