That looks excellent! I'm really hoping it can make the orange warmth 'pop' from the Misano pearl.

Maybe thats where I went wrong then!!

Also have the High Gloss Protection from AutoGlym which I used on top of SRP but the ArmourAll on its own gives a better result.

I detail mine about 3 times a year, snow foam, claybar once, wash, claybar twice, wash then a combination of wax and polish. Haven't done the RS4 yet as only had it a month or so but my Black Range Rover before would be like glass. The Clay Gloves from Halfords http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel ... -clay-mitt are well recommended and used to bring the RR paint up a treat. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... p?t=330602
HD Wax is the nuts and I also rate the AG HGP for a quick "wax on, wax off" treatment. Will try a clay glove as I have the AG clay bar kit and it's quite time consuming. The thing that is pee-ing off is all marks/chips appearing over time.

It turned up today, the consistency of it looks like it's going to be really easy to work with!

'hoping the weather holds out tomorrow long enough for me to give it a try and get some before/after pics.

I used on both motors at the weekend and am well impressed so far and it really is a piece of cake to apply. I'm actually looking forward to washing them both on Saturday and seeing what happens then!

Sadly not, pressure washing the driveway of our recently purchased house took a lot longer than expected(!), but the results were great...

Boring picture alert...! :mrgreen:

I'm planning to do it this weekend if the weather holds off.

Not bad at all. Was that just with the pressure washer hose or did u use a patio cleaner head?

My Nilfisk came with a Patio Cleaner head, but to be honest with you the oscillating nozel worked a lot better. The driveway hadn't been cleaned for over a decade (at least) so it was really ground in and stubborn. I worked on it very close up with the oscillating pressure nozel and it really got into the grain and lifted the dirt/grime/moss out.

I kinda thought that would be the case. I got a Nilfisk and the patio cleaner looks bit bulky to use.
