spent 4hrs cleaning and polishing my car, I never cleaned my last car. Am I mad?

[Vanessa]

So had my a3 for about six weeks, I never even cleaned my last car. The car wash did.

I think I am becoming a bit obsessed.

When I bought the car, I don't think it had been very well looked after as the interior and exterior was in a bad state.

Still have lots to do and will be posting pics and asking for advise, but here is a picture after today's clean.

It has a few dings on it that I hope you can help me with.

I intend to do it all myself, so any advise when I post the pics of the dings, will be greatly appreciated.

I had very good results with this firm:-

Dent Removal & Car Dent Repair - Paintless & Painless | ChipsAway

And you're getting obsessed, but the young lad over the road from me spends about 8-9 hours on his Megane and then it rains - every time!

P.S. Just noticed yours is the first car I've seen with the same wheels as mine!

Hi Fangio,

Thanks for the info,

Not sure about the wheels as it's my first Audi, wheels came with car, so I though they were standard.

One of the alloys has quite a lot of scuffs, so I need to find something to make them look good again.

Good to hear your going to carry out the other work on your car yourself. There is a certain satisfaction when you can do this. Im sure you will do a great job. x

Na ure not mad, cleaning the car is an all day job. I usually remove my seats to hoover the thing out!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info on the paint touch up, just going to look up my paint colour, the off to order some.

I also have a little tear in my back leather seat. I will take a photo this morning and post it, any suggestions greatly appreciated on how to repair it.

Have a lovely day.

This.

Cars looking good though. Depending on what the dings look like, as above Chipex seems good for deeper chips. Leather is a PITA to be honest. I believe you can get tears easily repaired though.

As already said Chipex is great for deep chips but I found it near impossible on shallow ones as it wipes out too easily.
