Detailing Bug.... Bugger
Detailing Bug.... Bugger
OK
so for those of you who know me; I'm a kinda pay someone else to wash my car kinda guy.... until this week; wedding forces unforeseen car clean pleasure!
So there's three of us in the close mate trio; one getting married - and two of us with B8's - so my B8 gets chosen as the wedding car; and the other B8 owner is a psycho on cleaning etc - so he gives me a discount code for a company that he uses on the net and before I know it a large box of detailing grade stuff arrives.
My car was dirty 6000 miles with two kids plus many beaches and outdoor things going on....
I didn't realise how much I'd enjoy the detailing side of things!! (BTW I will still get mine pro detailed with ceramic coating soon) - here's the result of 4 hours; I even got the expensive floor mats out!!! I'm happy for a first attempt; found one scratch and a dent (tiny)
When the B8's look this good!! wow!!! I'm gonna wash it much more seriously now!!!

Re: Detailing Bug.... Bugger
Using the angel wax myself just now great products ! Good effort 
Re: Detailing Bug.... Bugger
Not bad for a first go; my car has autoglym lifetime on it; which is crap - but if I use any waxes it'll strip it all off, so the guy from the Shop sent me a quick detailer... OMG this stuff rocks.
I've not even opened the AutoGlym kit I got; I bet it's OK - but having used super resin etc before; I was amazed at this kit and the way it all works - cleaning your car has moved right on!!! The ODK Quick detailer is unbelievable
I'm trying to not get too hooked as I'll become a nightmare; hence why I'm getting on with driving it.... but my god

Re: Detailing Bug.... Bugger
I think they are the first pictures I've seen of your car Boff. It looks great with the red trim and detail around the rim. Good choice sir.
Re: Detailing Bug.... Bugger
I had my car detailed a few weeks back for the 1st time and that included a good wax coating. I have a spray quick wax which works really well between full waxes. I'm like you, now I clean my car myself and really enjoy it, I spent 4 hrs on it today ready for the Snetertton Touring Car meeting.
The bonus of the quick spray wax is that is smells good enough to eat lol

Marc thanks - I was super nervous about this motor; bought it off pre-ordered dealer spec, and the wheels caused many hours of debate - i have to say I'm so delighted about what I got; I like things with a personal stamp; and this would have been my choicemarc1 wrote:I think they are the first pictures I've seen of your car Boff.
