Just a quick clean as done a deep clean a few weeks back and the car hasn't moved, just to get rid of the dust and bird mess.
Car is getting wrapped this week so although I know the wrap place will clean it, figured if I could make it as clean as possible it makes their life easier!
Also used the new quick connect Lance and what a bit of kit that is! Huge time saver and a lot easier than the massive karcher Lance!
***** upload quality, also good to see the ceramic coating I put on my summer wheels done it's job! Water beaded off a treat.

So a bit of a time on my hands meant I could focus on getting my garage floor epoxy painted.
After is was done I noticed the garage doors were letting the side down so took some APC and some brushes to them and gave them a freshen up much better now!
Does this count as detailing?

Perfick detailing weather today - cool, dry and overcast. So I set to it.
Won't bore you with the details, mostly usual method, with a couple of twists...
1. Turtle Wax Dry and Shine wet coat was sprayed onto the still wet, clean car, BUT then leveled off using a damp, rung-out MF applicator pad to get even coverage and prevent any streaking before being rinsed off. This worked a TREAT, and a much better method than just spraying and rinsing. I rate this product highly, it's cheap as chips, durable, leaves a very slippery finish and is V. glossy. After the recent chemical decon of the paint I'm really happy with the finish.
2. I'm using Autoglym Polar Wash as a wheel cleaner, through the snow foam lance to sort the wheels before I get onto the bodywork. I have a second lance bottle - definitely worth getting a second bottle, so you can use one product for wheels and a different one (BH Auto Foam) for bodywork pre-wash IMO). I ceramic coated the wheels last autumn, so don't need to use an aggressive wheel cleaner, but AG PW has just enough bite to do a top job on the wheels. This new method works well for me.
Polished m'tips, dressed the tyres, cleaned the glass inside and out, and a quick interior detail, before back in the garage as it's gonna pee it down for the next week. It's a satisfying feeling having a mint clean car in the garage when it's raining outside

I've had the car for 2 years now - and I'm contemplating a cosmetic refresh to keep it feeling 'new'. I'm thinking about going black stealth badges (gloss black OEM front and rear Audi rings and S3 badges - £175 ). Audi have leaned into this look with latest models, so think it could look OEM+ rather than boy racer. What do you lot think about this on Daytona Grey? I know it's my car and my choice is the only one that matters, blah, blah...I'm just interested in what the 'informed crowd' - those with an eagle eye for detail think
Pics below gives an idea of what this might look like on Daytona paint (if you ignore the ruined slammed suspension, lol). I like the rear look, just wonder if it looks like the badges have fallen off on the front.
All reversible, so the change could easily be put back to stock...

Good work mate, your car does really bling Black badges will look good I reckon on your Daytona
Great right up mate and remember reading about the thugs, was gutted when I read it!Cheers Buster - coming from someone with standards as high as yours that's a definite compliment
It's been nearly 3 months since a gang of low intellect thugs tried to car-jack me while I was out giving the car some TLC. Today was the first day I've properly enjoyed the process since then...
Yes. Yes it does. It absolutely ruddy does. Fantastic job there mate. My garage renovation project has been tickling along for about a year now (snatching a bit of time when I can). The last major job I have is to sort the flooring. So you've gone epoxy paint - did you use a 2-pack paint system? I've been pondering the pros and cons of epoxy 2-pack vs porcelain tiles (garage grade - not as daft as it sounds), vs a resin based flooring system (with some disco flecks in, lol). If you can share any more info on your thought process and method I'd be grateful pal.
I've been there done that with domestic garage floor paint - doesn't last long at all, so looking for a something durable and long lasting!

@daytonamart - Fantastic job on the garage mateThanks Jimbob. So if you're interested here's the process:
Start with one dusty garage where the blummin leaves blow in and wind me up!

Diamond cut the top layer of dusty concrete back to a decent level then PVA seal the floor:
View attachment 204547
Wait for this to dry before laying a smooth screed coat down:

Then one coat of epoxy resin paint (goose grey)

then the last coat:

Then sit back hang a few pics and enjoy the dust free detailing space:

Pic heavy again, I know. Whole project £1200.
I also looked at the flecky tiles but found them not to be very hard wearing and to do the double garage would have cost 3.5k. A little too strong for me.
Looks great, and one of my favourite S3’s on here. I know what you mean about the badges....been having thoughts myself over the last number of months. Personally speaking, I think only the back would suit it (Also what I’m thinking on our own S3). Just think the front end would look wrong all blacked out. @jassyo06 recently purchased the complete set, so hope he gets some pictures posted once fitted.Perfick detailing weather today - cool, dry and overcast.

Will post some photos this weekend of my new black rings....lol.
Well all logos and emblems arrived yesterday..took the chrome ones off today firstly fitted the front 4 rings and S3 logo ...a doddle,then to the rears the existing chrome ones where a pain in the *** to remove done bootlid logo first..took the old one off...cleanse then fitted the new gloss black logo only to find it was far too large...10mm too wide and 5 cm too tall so it doesn't adhere to the bootlid properly...going to email crewe Audi Audi tonight

I think that suits your car very nicely mate. There's enough of a contrast between the gloss black rings and the rest of the black grille. Looks great - very stealth.
You've said your new rear Audi rings are a bit bigger. Makes me wonder if the saloon has slightly smaller rings than the a Sportback due to the crease in the bootlid? I've just measured the rings on the back of my Sportback, and they're 190mm x 65mm - how does that compare with the black rings you've put on your car today pal? Would you mind sharing the measurements?
£175 is crackers for x4 pieces of plastic. On the one hand it makes me cross that Audi are taking the **** charging that much, but I guess it means there will only be a few of us daft enough to consider spending that, so keeps the look pretty exclusive!
