Had a chance to get my car done, admittedly it was a lot more difficult to do large panels as the coating has to be applied evenly and polished off straight away. I think the conditions have to be just right which is dry, overcast and warm - really difficult in Scotland.

This is 3 coats of the polish and two coats of the curer after a thorough clean, strip and machine polish, the pictures again dont do it justice its come out really nice -

There are not many coatings that will withstand the Ammonia in bird droppings for any length of time. I live next to the sea so I do need protection from sand blasting and salt erosion. Early signs are good with this mornings fine rain sitting on the surface of the paint and not soaking in but time will tell -

Agreed it does seem expensive. I can justify it though perhaps I look at it in a different way. This is my hobby I am not just polishing my bikes and car for the sake of it, it is more about the pleasure and satisfaction of achieving something and at the same time protecting my prize possessions. I always think to myself that some people will spend a lot more than £60 on a 90 minute football match or a night out on the town so I am happy to spend the money.

Looks really good and hopefully meet your expectations regarding looking after the car.

RS6 ? we run a A6 estate Quattro 2000 model year as a family car, always been very well engineered haven't they.
