What Car Care / Detailing Have You Done Today ?

Looking after a 500 until my mates daughter’s birthday. Not much trouble to give it a quick compound and polish.

Please excuse the garage mess, was building some new golf irons at the same time.

Gave the A1 a bit of TLC over Christmas and tested my new Kent Car care buffing towels

Replaced the rear wiper motor on my S3 8v today. Easy job. Certainly not paying Audi £600+ for that job.

Good as new

After watching Forensic Detailing youtube channel, Koch-Chemie W0.01 Hand Wax was in his "Top 3", so off I went and bought some on the easter discount/sale on Slims!

The Wax is insanely good, not like a paste wax at all, more oily than anything. It comes with an applicator, which seems to glide over the paintwork so smoothly. I really like it, but.....there's a but....the Zymol Concours makes the paint seem darker, whereas the Koch Chemie, a lighter shade. Not sure which I prefer if I'm honest. It was so worth the money, makes the Concours look really expensive, and I think that there's a better finish with the Koch, more gloss I think.

Anyway, I've got no family, no children, no wife to please, so my free time is spent "messing about with detailing products"! I get so bored, maybe I need a solo holiday!

I've pretty much amassed most of Koch Chemie's range of products apart from the Ceramics.

Jobs left to do:

1. Refurb the wheels (seller had them done, but not a good job in my eyes".
2. Ceramic coat the glass, wheels and exhaust.
3. Buy a new steering wheel from eBay (I've got my eye on a brand new one) I'm fussy when it comes to having "matt" leather, and mines matt, just not matt enough :D.
5. Replace tires with Pirelli PZ5's (newly released).

At least the cars clean for 5 mins eh!

Maintenance wash for the S3 , plus another coat of UHD Wax. New PS4’s fitted yesterday so dressed those fifth Fireball Ultimate. Dressed the engine bay with PERL as well.

Also fitted some exhaust valve delete modules for a little bit of extra noise Busy 3 hours !!!
