Re: OPC tyres prices

I need to replace the two rear tyres and I also need to send my car into Reading OPC for a transfer box inspection, so thought I would get them to quote for the tyres and hopefully get both done at the same time. Did a quick look around online and checked with a couple of local independents, Micheli...

Re: Dashboard Compass

I asked this question to my OPC (Reading) last June when I collected my 6 month old SD, as I also preferred the look of a gauge in the middle of the dash, I thought it would be a straight forward upgrade, albeit expensive for what it is. The answer I had was it could not be done, so I would be inter...

Re: Cleaning & Protecting Side-blades

I’ve just used Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel on mine and it has given the side blades and all other trim a really nice finish. Will have to see how long the gel lasts, but first impressions are very good.

Re: A good wash & polish

How are you guys washing a Macan in an hour or even half an hour??? I spend over an hour washing, then about an hour and a half drying off, quick detailer, dress tyres, hoover inside etc. Polish and wax is a mega job! Wash, polish, wax & glass all took about 4hrs or so, wheels were done the day...

Re: A good wash & polish

Very nice Taz. Did you apply the coating or was this done professionally and which one was used?

Would you recommend having it coated and are there any negatives?

A good wash & polish

Knowing I was going to be in for a quiet Tuesday working from home and the weather was looking good, at the weekend I started looking for a new polish & wax with the intention of giving the car a good wash. Ended up ordering Bilt Hamber - Cleanser Polish and Double Speed Wax. Now, I am not an ex...

Re: How to get some heat into the car?

My SD is very good at warming up. You can feel the seats warming after about 1 minute, even when it’s sub-zero. Something is wrong there. +1. I have to drop the heated seat setting from 3 to 2 after a couple of mins as my seats get hot very quickly. Likewise, my SD heats up both the heater & se...
