Snow foamed the car the other day for the first time. Used Auto Finesse Avalanche as use almost all of there products & to be honest don’t think I’ll be doing it to often as my car doesn’t get very dirty.
What Car Care / Detailing Have You Done Today ?

@Tashfeen - A3 looking stunning with the new alloys on buddyLooks better and sits better compared to 17s.
PMSL @X3man. You're such an a**hole
Cheers mate. I'd always liked these alloys and glad I managed to find a good deal and they definitely change the look of the car. I am still contemplating whether or not I should go lower as the drop with 18s looks just about right-ish.
Ceramic coating is on the cards and waiting for the weather to settle down a bit in next few weeks.
Harsh mate, I was paying it a compliment, as alloys look close to S3 alloys
Nice mate, looks like an S3 ( from the side at least)
Blimey Nev, you are actually spot on

I know mate, I was being facetious

Thanks BH. Need to possibly chrome delete now as it suited the silver alloys. Not anymore I think. The modding itch has started now
Personally I think that would be a bad move Tash , obviously personal taste and choice. I just am off v the opinion that the chrome trim adds a little elegant touch . Particularly with blue or black paint .
I agree mate. I actually quite like the Silver trim as well as tyres on dark coloured cars and black on light ones. However, now that the alloys are not silver the trim doesn't standout as much as it used to. But then it has only been a day since I changed the alloys. Maybe I need I slow down and give it some time and it will either settle down or ...
The one thing I'd recommend is de-badging the numbers and letters on the boot hatch. I found this to be a really nice improvement to the look of the A3
Did my Daytona a6 bitdi today. Nice overcast day for wash and wax.
Even gave the wife’s Astra a quick wash after

I know what you mean @Bristle Hound but the MINI is worth it. I still drive past many MINI’s today and admire them greatly. Can see us getting another JCW when the kids get up a bit more.
@SPIKE_S3 - Like you SWMBO & I both look longingly at the new JCW's
The time just isn't right at the mo
Never say never tho lol
I really don’t have issues with drying the JCW, after the X3 it is a piece of ****!

Jeez mate, you are retired after all. Washed both cars then did the lawn and garden
Now that is funny, Mr Fusion wax, cordless Flex, Ceramic coating reseller. Can't win as I didn't mention ANY products, but as it happens, used the Gyeon Q2 Foam and Essence Shampoo.......happy?
Bizarre mate, been posting pics of the JCW for 18 months and now you make a comment about panel gaps? Mini built better than most cars to be honest. At least I get within 15 feet of the car, unlike your 120 yard side on shots PMSL
It's only Banter mate...dont really pay attention to photos...of cars on here after awhile
Nice one mate, love your wifes mini, great colour with the red roof. Did you have a go at your bonnet?Double team wash today:
@X3man - 4 grandkids, a caravan & my loss of love for all things car detailing probs doesn't help at the mo lolJeez mate, you are retired after all. Washed both cars then did the lawn and garden
Still been power washing the block paved drive & power washed all the paths too in the last week
Away in the 'van for a week soon, so looking foreword to that. Just bought a new air awning so gonna have a play while we are away
@X3man - Our old non JCW F55 Cooper S had the same 2l turbo as the JCW albeit less powerful & loved hammering that. 'Tis a great engine IMHOWe love our JCW, some serious shift from that 2.0
Not an air awning,flimsy old things they are. Save no time either. Get a proper one,think the parents had a couple Isabella ones with the carbon poles. Could get the big one up in 25 mins

no caravan talk on here please...ban the pair of them!!! 
Just gave the car a wash using the £12 mitt I bought the other week...wow I couldn't believe what a difference a mitt makes!!! So much easier than the mf cloth or the sheepskin mitt I had been using
Nice and thick & it holds loads of water/suds and you can see the dirt being dragged into the fibres and away from the car! My wife came out and asked why I was washing the car when we are going away on Thursday? I said I can't leave a dirty car on the drive...she just said "You're mad"
Quality mitt for sure. Had mine a year now and it goes in washer every time and it’s still as good as day 1.

Seems it yeah, I washed it in a warm bucket of water and have left it to drip dry
@Adam14 - now you tell me after spending a stevie g on 1 lol
I know how it is mate, always plenty to do so cars don’t always get it, but Sunday morning (after 10am) was mine until 1pm
Bet the grandkids love it, always loved caravan holidays with my sister in laws family when younger. Bagged and bagged my dad to get a van, used to cut out adverts from classifieds (good old days), but my mum was having none of it
Of course Mr sarkie banter head of. Just a hint, this thread is all about the pics
Now where are the pics of your turbo blue A4 saloon
