Hi Victor,
Not great pics of the Milltek but it should give you some idea.

And if you want to hear it then CLICKITY CLICK HERE

Taken on a very windy day so sorry for all the wind noise!

As regards the screen, I don't clean it with anything but a soft 100% cotton cloth. I had to take the protective coating off of it as it had some fine scratches on it (As a protective coating - it just doesn't) so it's now naked without any form of coating on it at all but it is so much better for just flicking with the cloth to get any dust off.

Graham do your arches have the matting type finish around them? can't see it in the picture or is it higher up? always find that a right arse to clean. Looking good though mate, although I agree with some of the other comments it's still just a tad early for me to do that. roads are still mucky here....

That is such a strange thing on my car, I don't know if it's the same on any of the other RS4's but I've got the horrible furry, matty stuff on the front arch liners but ordinary smooth plastic on the rear. :? Weird.

Yes but that was pre non-resonated - sounds even better now. I must do another video, not on such a windy day though. :wink:

I'm ashamed to say that it took me 3 hours, the time taker was the wheel. To get into the very small crevises on those wheels is a nightmare, I used a very small detailing wand and Viro-sol to degrease it then Maguires Paint cleaner and then finally Maguires Gold liquid wax applied with a sponge applicator. Nicely protected now and will only require a gentle clean with Viro-sol from now on - it doesn't strip the wax off. Viro-sol is available from Here

All of it, inside (rim and spokes plus the hub) and outside, not forgetting to take the centre cap off and doing the inside too.

Graham got to say mate that sounds awesome. Have been toying with the idea of one myself - you may just have swung the balance.
Got to say though who the bloody hell laid that concrete, shame he didn't have the same eye for detail as you!!

:bigblink:
R32 DPB 58 (bl**dy recession)
RS4 Avus Saloon (07) B7 (RIP)
M3 Conv (feel the rays)
M3 Saloon (back in the saddle- yes)
325i M sport (my wife's idea)
Impreza STi V5 (cheap Jap power-great)
