I reckon your looking at around £400 for paint correction detail from a professional and Oi! how comes you didn't post this http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/clean...y-new-car.html here in the spotless section?

Opps! Sorry Ska, I didn't want all my fellow '8'ers knowing how badly uneducated I am at car cleaning, I would have been arrested by the '8 police and all my yellow sponges confiscated, now you've gone an blown my cover!

Anyway to make it up to the A8 Parts Spotless section, I have now booked her in for a professional detail on the 21st. He is going to measure the paint depth with a machine and then do a full a paintwork correction and shine her up... It is a two day process so I am going to leave the car at his detailing bay in the morning. The detailer has also promised to do a thorough write up with tons of pictures on detailing world for you all to enjoy.

I Can't wait!

Neither can I. Please point your detailer at the forum Singh and I'll sticky the post. It will be interesting to have a benchmark for costs etc.

Hey there,

Lovely looking car but i would say that as mine is the same green

All kidding aside she is a beauty though - i just wish i could get mine that shiny a bit more often.
