Picked mine up today after having it detailed. Received the following.
Deep-Shine Detail (Lincoln) Gtechniq Smart Surface Science Package.

With the light single stage machine polish and some localised correction completed the paint receiving a full wipe down and inspection it was coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light topped with C2 Liquid Crystal receiving a 5 year guarantee.

Wheels and callipers fully prepared and coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour.

Exterior glass machine polished with G4 before being coated with Gtechniq G1 Clearvision smart glass with three layers being applied to the front screen.

Engine compartment prepared and coated in a combination of C4 permanent trim restorer and C2 Liquid Crystal.

Interior prepared with Tri clean anti - bacterial cleaner then treated with a combination of C6 Matte Dash and I1 Fabric Guard.

Really happy with the results!

You'll need to check if you suffer with wiper judder. I've only got the low speed gtechniq coating on my windscreen and it's fine but the next one up causes judder in some cases.

I experienced some slight wiper judder on the way home. If it doesn’t get better then I may have to have the coating changed.

Finally got round to installing my mib2.5 discover media to replace my mib1 discover media. Nice easy job apart from coding. Got the fibre link to the virtual dash all coded and working just need to get the component protection removed and get the Gti skin and performance monitor working.

Took mine in to investigate knocking again from front suspension (4th time I've complained about this). Get a call late this afternoon to say lower wishbone bushes are worn and need replacing. Parts ordered today, hopefully fitted tomorrow, car back tomorrow night. I hate to say it but I told the dealer something was more wrong than just greasing the bushes. Hoping this might cure the slight vibration I've got at motorway speeds too.

At least you have a cure, what mileage have you covered before the bushes wore out?
