Ooh, that's quite near me. Mind sharing how much that cost? assuming that's your RS4 on his Facebook page.

Klauster, it may be the light conditions but as reflective as it looks there does not appear to be much of the metallic fleck in it? It is the only bit that concerns me with these resin coatings that whilst they give a glossy 'wet' finish they actually matte down the metallic fleck in the paint? Or as detailers say, the paint doesn't 'pop' What's it like in real life?

I'd be pretty happy with the result too, Klauster - your car's looking pretty good...

Klauster, I've just stumbled across the video of your RS4 on YouTube...the reflections on your car are stunning.

Yup, that'll be the one. I am liking that very much indeed. :bowdown:

And as an added benefit, I think the video may just have convinced my wife that getting my car detailed is now a pressing necessity.
