Just thought I'd post some pics of the car after a good clean! I'm really happy with the way the Brilliant Black shines.

Gave mine its first clean today too.
How do you find the finish of the Brilliant Black? Mines has quite an orange peel effect.
I went nuts at first but after reading online, it seems that its common on Audis and BMWs.

You can see it in this picture of my first big scratch. :zx11:

I think that this might be a difficult colour to live with, I've already noticed a few light marks and stone chips and I'm only a week in. :nervous:

Yeh seen your post with the orange peel, your pics do look worse than my car. I can hardly see it on my car.
no doubt at all it will be a hard colour to live with! I have a couple of light marks also, but do love the shine when clean, I always get a few remarks about the shine!

ive just give it a second do with turtle wax ice polish (more like a wax) it was a auto express best buy Turtle Wax ICE Synthetic Paste Polish review | Auto Express (http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/45140/turtle-wax-ice-synthetic-paste-polish) only £10 and its lasted two months
