Washed and "detailed" mine today. The leather got a clean and then fed. Hoovered out the inside. Stuck the sponge between the spokes on the golf r replicas even had the sponge through to the backside of the alloy...only did half of one, just like too much hard work!
where the rear screen even meets the hatch had a cloth in the little gap. Algae had taken hold at the top of the hatch hinges  :smiley:
This is because it goes to get a full set of brakes and a fluid change tomorrow. I'll get the air con top up when the service and MOT's due.
Audi S1 gone, awaiting 1.5tsi r-line, pan roof, led lights front and rear, active dash, 18" jurva alloys and a dealer fitted Oettinger roof spoiler in tornado red.

been up to "juicy detailing" in durham (north east england) to get some of the following :

1) dodo juice purple haze soft wax
2) dodo juice lime prime polish
3) bilt hamber clay
4) a dc electric polisher
5) reload carpro silica spray
6) top up of some snow foam


might do so before and after shots. nothing getting done today as weather is pits! hopefulyl tomorrow a dry warm day (no wind) may see these all in use!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Would also say the guys up at the unit "juicy detailing" are great. more than enough time for you to explain all sorts!
You were in my neck of the woods. Im only about a mile away from Andrews place.

Today i booked mine in for an MOT. I took the day off to detail it but the weather decided it was still winter time and snowed!

Took me a while but finally fitted them! I installed LED's at first but you can't adjust the brightness so swapped them for standard red lamps!

Had a few little things done with VCDS, alarm chirp, bluetooth, footwell lights, large speedo display and tear drop rear washer

That's weird, the brightness adjustment on mine works with LEDs.  Don't suppose it matters as red tinted bulbs give same end result anyway.
