RS4ABM - looks awesome!

Seems some products work better on our cars, did you notice any specific products the retailer used?

The correction cost me just over £500 and it was worth every penny, I wanted the full 3 stage process. It got rid of all light blemishes, paint swirl marks, mirror scratches and brought the deep blue colour back to life. For a little more they can pay more attention to certain deeper scratches, but I think that's only as long as they haven't gone deeper than the lacquer.
My boot, roof and bonnet were awful and came up just brilliant as you can see in the pictures.
Would highly recommend especially before summer - if it ever arrives...

That makes such a difference and really brings out the best of the Mugello Blue colour. You must be really pleased.

Have you checked out you wash regime now, to ensure that you don't mar that lovely fresh paintwork?

Got mine booked in for September (earliest available) for a 7 day correction detail and seeing these types of threads just makes me want it done now.

A 7 day detail, Wow!! That must be costing a fortune, are they taking it all apart?
Mine was completed in 10 - 12 or so hours and the finish is impeccable. I'm sure they could fit you in before September too.

I brought some of the cleaning products Mulgari recommend and will certainly be cleaning it a lot more myself instead of driving it down the local hand car wash.

Not trying to be funny, but there's no way they've done a full correction in 10-12 hrs. More likely a single stage detail.

And if it was a single stage then sorry to say but you've been ripped off for £500+ notes.

10-12 hours is easy doable if the paint isn't a total mess.
