........but I don't mind admitting that the 8-year-old bus is not looking too shabby given her 128k miles.

Which is a shame given that she's about to go up for sale and that this was the clean for the photo-shoot.

Nothing more that a clean, dry, a pre-wax cleaner and some Carnauba wax. It helped that it was a warm and cloudy day. The interior will get a good seeing-to tomorrow.

WOW! EG :D, I always thought your car was oyster grey, due to your avatar, never would have thought it was black!

"Dull Grey" was it's normal colour with a "protective" layer of dust on the car at all times! Just goes to show, Audi uses quality paint. Our 14 YO A2 shines like no car that old should, after a polish!

EssexGonzo,
Very nice job on the A6. I guess you sold her swiftly looking this good?
Can I ask what you used for your tyres, a really nice deep matt black finish I would like to treat my new A6c7 to.
Thanks

I used some sort of silicone spray I had knocking about in the garage. Obviously I sprayed it onto a cloth to avoid the brake discs as it's primarily a lubricant.....!
