Next purchase will probably be a DA :whistle:

My next purchase too, I was actually looking at them last night but don`t know where the hell to start, more research needed  :smiley:

Headover to the detailing section, plenty of threads on there with advice. I think I'm going to go with this one - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/das-6-pro-meguiars-microfiber-system/prod_963.html - a good combination of performance and price. The Meguiars system has been recommended too.

Jesus!  Haven’t you bought one yet!  Cars will be extinct by the time you clear the moths out of your wallet.  :grin:

It's going to be like open heart surgery for him, give a chance.

I nearly did have a heart attack at my last visit to my barber, they had upped the charge by £1.50! I wouldn't mind so much if I actually had much hair :rolleyes:

I have lost interest in changing the footwell LEDs to red for now. I have returned the units that worked but didn't fit into the housing. I just cannot be bothered to switch out the bulbs as I do not want to risk breaking the OEM unit, so unless I can buy the unit with the red LEDs in like the blue ones, I am done!

Get these ones, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Error-Free-5050-SMD-LED-Red-Footwell-Lights-for-Audi-A4-S4-B8-2008-2015/232480176747  I bought them for mine and they fit perfectly.  5 minute job to install.
