Chaps & Chapettes,
:newbie:
Finally after two years of owning my Audi A1 Black Edition (185) I have decided to show off some of it's beauty and my hard work keeping her clean!
For anyone wondering, she is a 2012 A1 with 33K miles. 1.4 twincharged engine with Audi's 7 speed Stronic gearbox, 185bhp. All the usuals - Bose/Nav/Xenons etc.
I will continue to add to this thread as and when fitting if people enjoy the content!
Enjoy!
Latest detail sesh;
Car was pretty filthy before. I live in a block of flats so it's difficult to wash it when there (although I do have a 50M hose and extension power cable I dangle out the window 4 floors... Dedication! )
I usually give her a good day or so detailing sesh every 3 weeks whilst at my parents house in the images below. Other than that, it's just a quick weekly wash in the carpark of my flats.
She was pretty filthy to begin with, 150 mile journey in the rain didnt help!

After a good 10 minute Jet Wash spray down, double snowfoam and two bucket wash she was looking much cleaner...

The drying stage commenced drying with 3 plush microfibre towels. I also tried Auto Finesse 'Quick Spray Wax' during the drying stage which acted as a lubricant and a quick top up on my already reasonably fresh layer of Auto Finesse Temptation Wax.

And the final results....

Unfortunately being black, she doesn't last long like this!
Beading the next day when it rained...

Gave her another quick wash to get rid of dirty rain dried spots, ready for the journey back home.
