    Car cleaning advice req'd

    Cheers for all the replies (especially Rich), I now feel a little more confident in what I need to do to keep the car looking as good as it does now. I'm glad I chose the red as it really stands out and gets you and the car noticed!! The wheels are already looking a little black so I think...

    Car cleaning advice req'd

    Thanks for the replies, much appreciated:thumbsup: Looks like I'll get some Meguiars gear and use the 2 bucket method. What about the wheels? I used to use Wonderwheels but looking on here there aren't many fans and as the new wheels are 2 piece I don't really want that to go anywhere...

    Car cleaning advice req'd

    All, Just (last friday) picked up a brand new A3 2.0T S-Line Special Edition in Misano Red with 20-spoke 2-piece alloys :yahoo: I want to take good care in keeping it clean and polishing etc and want to buy a new load of gear to help me. I already have a gift set of Autoglym stuff at home...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    I think there is also a difference with people who want to load their cars with every conceivable extra and others that objectively decide what they want. I cannot see the lights as being THAT bad (current lights are fine and they cannot be much different). And there is also the point that...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    Re the Xenons, I understand that if you are used to them then you do not want to live without them but having never had them before I'm not bothered!! As for the bluetooth prep, being honest, I think it will be a good few years before people start expecting that in a used car as it takes a...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    OK after much deliberation last night I have decided to stick with the original spec. Reason being that it was the dealers demo in that spec that really caught our eye when we went there and I think I may regret going back on that:rolleyes: Also, as the interior is black, I think a brighter...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    Well being 34 and the wife just turning 30 then maybe we could get away with it for a few years!!! ;) The thinking behind the red is just that we have recently owned black/silver/blue cars so a change would be nice. That and the fact that it really caught our eye when we first saw it in the...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    I know what you mean and I want to keep the finance payments down to a minimum which is why I limited the options instead of loading it with gadget like stuff that looks good but is hardly ever used!! I like the idea of Xenons, folding mirrors etc but to me they are just put there to tempt...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    Quite like the look of the Lava Grey and I do like the black aswell. Don't think the RS4 wheels are an option, just the 5 spokes and the 14 spokes!!

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    That's my thinking aswell re the colour though I am looking to have this car for a good few years so should I really worry about that. That and most that I have seen have silver/black/dark metallic in my area so maybe it would be good to be a bit different!! As with the wheels, well I have 5...

    Just ordering new car, opinions?

    I understand the size issue though I don't feel it as drastic as that. Before the A4 we had hatchbacks and to be honest, if the sportback was around when we bought the A4 we would have got one!! I have the roof rails to alleviate the luggage space issue as we like to drive down to devon etc in...

    New Member saying Hello

    Hi, Just found the site and thought I'd say hello. I currently own an A4 Avant 2.0FSI Sport with the GMBH kit but wife wasn't really happy with the size of the car (too big) so we are in the process of ordering an A3 Sportback 2.0FSI Turbo S-Line SE in Misano Red with the 20 Spoke Alloys...
