@jimbo255 Pm sentTBH I think there are a few ppl that look like a March 1st pick up so could be close.
Also anyone on here know a decent detailer in the South East?
Try @FranA3 as he has been looking after all my cars since 2015.TBH I think there are a few ppl that look like a March 1st pick up so could be close.

Flattery will get you everything!!!!! LOLThank you for all the recommendations but I was having a joke at @Detail Devil ’s expense, look at the name and have a guess what he does. He is also a very “decent” detailer.

Thought the local road traffic unit had their hands on one there for a moI did get some looks taking this to my pal's to get a Track Pack PPF carried out before full new car prep together with Shelby Premium Ceramic Coating which gives a 5 year protection lifespan. Looking good now, but will POP like a fire cracker when completed. Guess who's car this is?????

My Porsche will have that, my RS3 will be a daily, so I won't be going too mad detailing it when it's going to be doing 15k or more a year and even used to tow the fishing boat

Haha - I drafted something similar but didn’t post. Battenburg anyone?
Seriously though - professional detailers work magic on how a car looks.
It's not, in fact I think it's illegal to have a tow rack carry anything other than a bike.I didn’t think the S3 or RS3 were type approved for towing?
The A3 might be, but the RS3 isn't so I don't think that the likes of your insurance would look too kindly on it if you had an accident.The A3 is rated to tow 1,800kg. I already have a detachable tow bar to fit my RS3 when it arrives... same one a mate has on his 8Y S3.

Kelly is very VERY good. Looking at the Vorsprung i've just prepped and ceramic coated, i also did a single stage polish, as there were a few very minor marks which polished out easily. I'd strongly recommend getting the Wheels and Callipers Ceramic Coated tooOur carbon landed today, collection next Friday. I’m in the southeast and was considering KDS for ceramic £800+vat or +£500 for machine polish if dealer prep isn’t good?

Unfortunately dealer prep is usually poor and at some places even damaging. What you have to realise is that people that have ceramic coatings are a bit OCD about their paintwork (I’m one of them) and it’s a borderline illness but the cars look amazing. I have specifically stated that no one from the dealership was to touch the car and had @Detail Devil do everything from organise the PPF to the ceramic. Might be worth having a chat with him as he’s done 3 of my cars in the last month and seems a reasonable enough bloke apart from some infatuation about goats but other than that he’s alrightOur carbon landed today, collection next Friday.

I agree with the comments about dealer prep can be damaging. I had my RSQ3 collected from the dealership by the ceramic guys with all the travel protection left on. They did the whole lot and a marvellous job. I'd get the calipers done too as well as the wheels, very worthwhile and money well spent. Good Luck.

We've had two cars "accidentally" washed by VW, despite being marked as do-not-wash (and in one case having a hanger from the rear view mirror saying so too). Both times have just been over-enthusiastic "valet" staff. Luckily they didn't do too much damage to my car, but my girlfriend's is now swirl city, but the joke's on them as she's trading it in with them in a couple of months anyway. Very depressing to see all the marks though.Completely agree. I don’t let dealers anywhere near my cars for prep or when having to go in for maintenance.
LOL, this is such a laughable forum, you lot think you know it all. It's fine, the dealer is fitting the removeable tow bar on delivery. They've already done an RS3 8Y for one customer. Insurance, that's sorted too.

I never claimed to 'know it all', but I'm sure that you'd agree if a car wasn't designed for towing and something happened whilst performing said action, that they would be more than happy to void your insurance so they didn't have to pay out.LOL, this is such a laughable forum, you lot think you know it all.
