Looks great in white - Glacier I assume? My initial order was for GW, but then changed it to DG.

Yeah its Glacier white. Initially I went in to order the Nardo Grey type colour (not sure what its called these days) but when I seen the white one in the showroom I was sold. Will just need to keep on top of the tar spots

Get some Autofinesse Oblitarate

I am currently using Auto Smart Tardis, which is also really good. My understanding though with these products is that they also remove the wax and polish I have spent hours applying. I am thinking about biting the bullet while the car is new and getting it ceramic coated. Think its around the £450 mark though

Yea, I’m like you in that I had thought the BE only colour of Quantum Grey would be the one, then went quickly off it once I seen a BE A4 finished in it. I got my car ceramic coated prior to collection, so time will tell as I haven’t had a car ceramic coated before. Went for the newly released Gtechniq Ultra coating which is meant to be unbelievable!

There’s Ultimate Shine Autos over the road from Stirling Audi and also Devilish Detailing at Bankside Falkirk. Not used either myself though, apart from buying cleaning stuff from USA.

Ultimate shine autos done my rs3 full g tech treatment the coating was excellent on the bodywork. after 18 months it was like it was fresh done after each wash. (800 plus tho) Though I wasn’t happy with it’s condition when collected as they just rushed it I guess.
There’s a place in bonnybridge too does gyeon coatings and much cheaper done my mates f type I can get you the name. Sure he was more like 550

 

[Chris Walton]

Just had a lengthy conversation with the guy at the place in Bonnybridge MJM Detailing. Sounds like the place I will use, he was knowledgeable and didn't try and sell me what I don't need. was quoted £550 for Gyeon 2 year guarantee ceramic protection on the paint, windscreen and wheels and polymer protection on the other windows and the interior. it takes 3 days to get done. All sounds reasonable to me and at a good price. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a very good price, but the curious person inside me then thinks about the cost of the product and the labour spent doing the job makes me wander if it is right? Two year protection for a ceramic coating would make you think it might be more of a coating targeted for the amateur detailer to apply. All the pro applied Gtechniq ceramic coating are 5+ years guarantee.

Yeah before I go for it I am going to ask the guy the specific coating he is putting on. He is an authorised Gyeon centre, which I have checked on the Gyeon website. He gave me the choice of products 12-18months no guarantee 2 years guarantee and 5 years guarantee obviously the price increases with the longer guarantee. I only need the two year one as I don't really hold onto my cars for any longer than 2-3 years.

 

[Spaceman_RS3]

The 2 year one is what my f type friend had done and is lasting great and was turned out spot on.

 

[Headzup]

Where a outs were you? I’m up in Aberdeen, feel free to give me a shout if you’re ever about!

It was a holiday upto Loch Long, tho this was taken on banks of Loch Lomond.
Will definitely head back there again (despite the 7 hour drive -including food, toilet and of course fuels stops).

First wash of the year!

The A4 does look good in black, just don't let the dealership valeters get at it...

Yeh since learning about detailing I always politely request that my car does not get washed while it's at the dealership for any work. I don't mind so much however them giving the interior a quick hoover!

Don't forget there are Do Not Wash signs you can download from the Detailing section http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/downloadable-do-not-wash-signs.247190/

Thanks! Was just a quickie to wash off some of the winter grime.
I started on the wheels with bilt hamber auto wheel then washed them with wheel woolies and some regular car shampoo.
Then I used gyeon snow foam and went at the badges and grills with a detailing brush before pressure hosing it off.
Next I washed the car using the two bucket method with gyeon bathe using the gyeon Microfibre wash mitt.
Lastly I used a open hose to rinse off the car and dried it using the gyeon silk dryer.
I applied soft99 fusso wax a couple of months ago which is still holding up nicely.

So I have bit the bullet and booked the car in for ceramic coating. I got more information on the products the guy will be using.


Full vehicle decontamination. Single stage paint correction to enhance the factory finish and remove any slight blemishes from original preparation.

Paint coated in Gyeon MOHS + (plus)

Wheels removed and coated in Gyeon RIM coating (3 layer process)

Front three windows coated with Gyeon View, so windscreen and both driver and passenger drop glass.

Rear windows coated with Autoperfekt Pro Glass. This will have a good durability as these windows are not subject to the abrasive nature the front three are.

All rubber and unpainted plastic trims coated with Gyeon TRIM.

door apatures (checks) coated with Autoperfekt Pro kote.

Interior degrease.

All plastics coated in Gyeon preserve coating.

All leather degreased and coated with gyeon leather coat.

All fabrics coated in Autoperfekt Fabric.

Interior glass coated in Autoperfekt N1 Glass.

I am quite happy with what he is going to do for the price. Roll on the 20th...don't know what I will do without a car for 4 days though
