My S3 8v (daytona Grey) has red callipers and i'm bored with them after a few years. I reckon the Porsche viper green is too much for a man of my mature years. Is yellow just as bad ? I reckon it would show up well against the paintwork. The turquoise-ey blues and the like don't do it for...

Hi folks. My garden hose has sprung a major leak so looking for a replacement for use with Karcher K5 compact PW. Standard Hozelock hose has served me well but age has caught up with it. Ideally looking for replacement that won't kink so easily but some I've seen online aren't recommended for...

I was looking for ideas for polishing pad cleaners. Chemical Guys and others do bespoke products with matching brushes which look good but then I saw Jon (?) on Forensic Detailing demonstrating cleaning pads with APC and a toothbrush. Seemed pretty effective. Anyone else use that method and...

I have recently bought a Clearmount to hold my iPhone 8 plus. It comes with both magnet and cradle. Do the air vent covers pull off easily to allow you to fit the cradle and also does anyone have a recommendation for a phone cover that is sturdy enough but will still work with the magnet ...

Finished my car with GWC after a wash on Monday. The car is ceramic coated so it was really just done to produce some beading. I rinsed off immediately as per the instructions. Got in the car this morning (not driven it since Monday) and noticed what look like white spots on the windscreen...

Wife chose a collision with the kerb rather than a combine harvester on road back from Fife last night so I am looking for recommendations for refurb. preferably in or near Glasgow. Wheel Specialist in Cumbernauld did them last time and were fine but wonder if there are any other contenders...

Evening all. My wife has a new(wish) phone per thread title. She can't seem to get it to pair in my S3 which she occasionally gets to drive (!). Her previous Samsung Galaxy phone paired up fine so not sure what issue might be. Anybody had similar experience or got any ideas ? Thanks

Looking for a dedicated microfibre wash liquid for washing machine - any recommendations ?

Thinking of a stage 1 for my PFL s3. What sort of premium hike have others experienced when disclosing to insurers ?

As per title, looking for a recommendation for a bulk buy (well OK, a dozen or so) applicator pads. Lots on ebay for buttons but never sure of quality of some of them. Prefer to pay a bit more for something endorsed by you guys.

I took out a 3 year service and maintenance plan when my S3 was new (Sept 2015) and would be looking to extend it if possible. Audi CS directed me to Audi Finance but none of the options on their phone menu seem to relate to service plan extension. Anyone else had experience of trying to do...

Folks - the Slim's DA looks like decent value, along with the polishes/pads. I am thinking of taking the plunge as a novice polisher. I'd probably use it mainly for polish/wax application rather then for correction (at least initially). Any thoughts ?

Hi Can anyone give a view on the Slim's DA polisher ? I am a total newbie on the polishing front but it seems to be good value and safe for a polishing virgin like me ! Thanks

where the heck is Simon L ? I miss his acerbic wit. Hope he is OK :worried:

I'm sure ScottyG recently posted names of a couple of decent hand car washes in Glasgow area but haven't managed to track that post down. I wash my S3 myself and it will get an annual trip to Incredible Detail. However I need somewhere reliable to take my wife's Discovery for a regular wash...

My S3 has done less than 4000 miles since new in Sept 2105. The DIS is displaying need for oil change in 25 days. I am Glasgow based but Ayr will suit me better for work reasons in the second half of August when I take it in. Really just looking for impressions of servicing at Ayr Audi...

As per title, my 8V S3 has (9 months old) has developed what looks like water spotting on the silver roof rails. Not really noticeable till you are up close but annoying when the rest of the car is nigh on perfect due to Gtechniq treatment and Xpel paint protection film. I've tried metal...

My Daytona grey S3 was treated to a Gtechniq pro new car detail when just a few days old back in September 2015. Since then I have hand washed it only twice (very carefully :)) and otherwise (in colder weather) have just used pressure washer with snow foam and or citrus pre-wash or local jet...

Happy New Year to all of you ! My S3 went through a horrendous (judging from the noise anyway - it was dark and I couldn't stop to have a look) pothole yesterday evening. There is no damage visible to my untrained eye but it was quite a thump (front offside wheel took the brunt of it). Tyre...

My S3 has done just over 1000 miles since I picked it up (new) in early September. Arrived back at car tonight to drive home and found the majority of the inside of the windscreen covered in condensation. Not wanting to make a mess of the screen I left the demister to do its work, which it did...
