Stunning finish on the exhaust mate. ... don't take this the wrong way but a ****** Lambo wouldn't look good parked on a pebbled drive .. ... Just the same as my car looks guff parked on monoblock... ... Even more so..... your phone camera is quite possibly worse than mine's lol

Haha, I know what you mean, hate the f*cking gravel, replaced a month or so ago, but no point doing proper drive until track is done. I do keep thinking I must take the car elsewhere for some shots (with canon DSLR) but just can’t be ars@d when done.

Currently only iPhone 6S, waiting to see what apple announce in September. No point going android as whole family on IOS.

Tips do come up nicely, but both cars were properly blinging today.

. Have to finish BSD. Ain't using CG V7, Reload or Cure on anyone's car but mine .

The car was in a really poor state. Paint properly effed up. Scratches and swirls you name it. Car had been washed regularly either in drive throughs or £5 hand car washes.

Hi guys ive been a lurker for a while.
I have an A6 ultra black edition on a 64 plate that has cquartz on it and recently i bought some ONR wash and the Big Red sponge. i've used it once up to now and it is amazing,it does a decent job and gets rid of the need to get all the gear out,hose,pressure washer etc... which when you live in a terraced house is a major chew. It's the best thing i've bought for the car.
Cheers guys

Neil. Barkeepers Friend will get that ghosting off. You'll think you've removed it with other glass polishes, but it'll come back, not with Barkeepers Friend.

Must try this barkeepers friend. Not that I have seen this ghosting on my current car, but drove me mad in last A6. As you say @pxr5, kept calm Ming back from the dead

Nice haul, told you it would only last a week bathe is good stuff! Not tried their snow foam, but bathe, and bathe+ good stuff, as is the big and grime remover. Let us know thoughts on snowfoam when you have had chance to use.

Mate, I don’t my take the mickey out of buying stuff, as I do it myself loads . Latest purchase...Carpro Perl for black engine trim.

Any tips on dash scratches as properly annoy me when sun shines on it. Been so careful with spray and using brushes to no avail ‍♂️

This may sound a bit anal but give it a quick hand-wash in the bath .. . And then let it dry over a drying horse oh don't let it dry in direct sunlight or use fabric conditioner.... Whilst washing....
Ps some washing machines can struggle to wash these drying towels as they get very heavy with water during the wash cycle

First wash... And every other wash if you want,, if your going sling it in the machine wash it on a 30 degree quick wash on its own non- bio liquid and it will last for years and don't wash after each use wash only when it gets dirty
