RS4 B7 Daytona Grey - My Detailing Progress

Be careful if you pressure wash under the bonnet - I don't advise it. Better off spending £10-20 on Fleabay and getting a steam cleaner - I bought one of these and they are bloody great -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HANDHELD-POWE ... 258461a0fe

I also highly recommend using 303 Aerospace protectant after you've cleaned it - just spray all over and leave it to dry (mop up any puddles of course) -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/22146534 ... 0&ff14=108

It conditions the rubber by keeping it elastic, restores color to dried out rubber, protects against extreme temperature etc.

Took these photos this morning in daylight.

Good work, when can I drop mine in??!!

Is it overspray or someone has applied it for protection to the plastics? Will it show in a photo?

Picked up some genuine 20" RS5 alloys yesterday. Will be giving them a good clean and applying some protection. More photos to follow.

Spent the afternoon cleaning them up using APC, fallout remover and tardis.

Before.

After (not perfect but a lot better, will be refurbed at some point).

Test fit.

Cheers Mike. I loved your setup. Purchased some spigot rings and the wheels fit perfect.

Looks like you've got spacers on the front.
