trim in black in slick.
how'd they do it? repaint or replace?

Taking them completely off painting and then putting them back on the car, they are masking and painting the rear bell Trim because once you take it off, it breaks

Phantom68 - Darn you for posting these photos again. Just went a little crazy on Griots Garage.com buying 100% carnauba wax, polish, applicators and microfiber cloths. Must get my Phantom Black A7 to look this good also

Hi Phantom

lovely pics and alloys. I went for the same alloys, whats the road noise like, since mine is still under prod?
Also you mention in your post about the glare sealant. any good? my dealer is selling me supaguard@400gbp, not sure if its worth it? would be great if anyone has had it done?

cheers A

Suparguard NOT worth it even for free (sorry). Spend your £400 to get a professional detailer to apply a product like Glare. Are you in UK? Phantom and I can give you details. Really try and get that £400 back if you can. It will be applied very quickly by someone untrained. Glare will be machine polished on in 16 man hours for same cost and more importantly it works!

thanks mate. yes in uk in london. i have not paid for it yet. the glare product i checked on their website is retailing at £12. Is this the same product you mention or is it something else?

cheers A

Hi, yes this is the same product. For the price it is superb, so long as you keep to a regime of cleaning the car properly once the Glare product has been applied. Both Hashluck and I used the same detailer and I have to say that they did a fantastic job. I will never entrust Audi to wash my car again following a service, I just get fed up with the swirls that appear on the paintwork!

Audi charge you £400 for Supaguard and they spend a tenth of the time that the detailer spent doing my car. I am now using the Karcher to get rid of loose dirt, before using a lambswool mitt and drying towels etc and so far the car is still as the detailers left it one month ago.

You can buy the Glare product yourself and apply by hand but it will, like any polish, require a bit of effort to look after it, hence why they machine polished it on.

If you are spending this sort of money on a car it is worth trying to look after the paintwork if you can, if you would like the contact details of the detailers that I used just drop me a PM.
