Smoke yes, although more grey than black
Nah this was black, I know to expect a bit of light grey smoke

I bought my RS4 today :-)

I went to see the 06 one that I spoke about, it was a 4 hour drive down but well worth it, the car is perfect and I am delighted.

Will give it a good wash & wax tomorrow (weather permitting) and get some pics up.

I am in the north west (near Preston), I had to drive down to Newbury for the car but it was worth every second of the 9.5hr round trip.

I have wanted one of these since I first saw them but never thought I would ever be lucky enough to have one.

No but that's where the previous owner bought it originally.

I won't use a sponge, I have a Karcher to rinse and soap. Going to get some decent wax this weekend as I am not keen on my Autoglym Aqua Car Wax, just seems too easy lol.

I don't wax it with the jet wash but the wax is a spray that can be applied whilst the car is still slightly wet. It isn't very good imo, seems a laxy way of waxing.

Any recommendations on a decent one? I am thinking of getting this one: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165527
