Dead happy.

Nice. I'm thinking of using a different wax as the Autglym stuff I use at the moment gets nice results bit is awful to put on correctly.

Fat jokes? Your arms are too skinny for that, get to the gym.

Daytona is the best colour for the C5 avant.

Looks good, mine also has the Swissvax (Crystal Rock), nearly £1k for a small pot. Needs another application now. I still wish mine was Sepang, Misano or Black though.

Poole Audi's body Shop did a good job on the respray when Eddie had it, looks very good polished up. I want a few bits doing on mine but seeing some of the work they have put out lately they won't be getting the job.

Looks good. Don't think I could every bring myself to buy any Swissvax stuff, though. Just too overpriced.

The finish I get is good enough for me with my hyperbeader:
