Washed it, coat of AG SRP and 2 coats of Sonax BSD, windows cleaned with AG CGP and the interior done with Meguires Quick Interior Detailer, tyres dressed with Meguires Endurance High Gloss Tyre Gel.

Tried Meguires "Ultimate Black" on the plastics and am very impressed so far, nice semi gloss finish and very black.

I was having trouble keeping the back end down... my mod gives more weight over the driven wheels and the increased angle of the boot lid acts as a great spoiler :rolleyes::D:p
New Turbo upgrade ?

Took it to my detailing guy for ceramic coating this morning. Can't have it back till midday Wednesday due to curing times apparently so more waiting around...

Wed PM the security gets an upgrade so it has to be back by then.
What ceramic you having Dave?

As far as I'm aware he's using Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer and EXOv4 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating on it John, either that or their Crystal Serum Ultra. He says he wants to check the paint out fully before a decision is made but I'm not allowed to make any suggestions apparently.

To be honest, I just want it back now. Waited 5 months for delivery, had it less than 3 days and lost it again. :(

Had time to kill this morning, so called into a local place with a good rep for window tinting.
I only intended getting a quote, but left an hour and a half later with the back windows tinted:D

Looks rather nice and I've gone for the OEM shade , not the drug dealer black I had on the E55.
If it ever stops raining I'l take a photo or two.

There should be a forum rule that if you do that good a job you should have to take pictures !
