The car originally felt like a tramp's scrotum when you ran your hand over it, so there's definitely an improvement with the clay now as it's smooth to the touch. I'd love to machine polish it but I don't have one in my arsenal yet unfortunately. I'm slowly coming around to this whole washing cars thing though so I reckon I might have to get myself a DA at some point in the near future

Cheers matey, that's what I'm hoping as the paint was definitely letting the car down. Now let's just hope my right foot doesn't rag the value straight back out

That's a nice looking car

More pics are needed!
And yep, I clayed for the first time this year too and couldn't believe how much of a difference it made, just astonishing really.

Yeah, the very grimey A6 in the background of the photos is ours. I've been putting off washing it ever since we got it

Looks good!
My neighbour/friend has one almost identical to that, though maybe a few years older judging by the front. His is an import b-spec I believe.

Cheers mate

The older BG model has wider but less tall head lights - if it's one of those then the GT-B spec is getting very rare now, really difficult to find a nice one. I like the old shape better, although this one doesn't look too bad to be fair to it
