Hi All,

Firstly, I wanted to say Thank You for all the contributions on this Forum, it has made the decision making process/approach to choosing options on my new Macan so much easier.

My new GTS has left the factory and arrived in the country last week so is due to the OPC today or tomorrow. I can't wait to see it and enjoy the magnificent handling and sporty engine (after a careful first 1000 miles!!).

I am very particular about the care and maintenance of my car so have arranged for it to be left untouched by the Centre and it is being cleaned, polished and protected by a professional detailer at the OPC. I hope to take and post some pictures of the process to show what happens.

Finally, I hope to be able to contribute to the discussions in the future and look forward to being a happy member of 'Team VG' very shortly.

Hi Taz,
Smiles, I am sure there will be. Especially when it gets warmer and drier.....

I am using a very nice chap called Richard Tipper. I will try and get pictures up on the forum of his work, and more importantly the process. He has done several cars at the dealership for customers and is highly recommended. I think he is London based.
Hope that helps.

Just had a detailer here for two days following a claim to the local Council regarding bitumen on the car after a failed road resurface nearby.

Detailer is based in the West Mids (also on the professional detailer website) and has done an incredible job of Tar removal, Clay-bar, machine polish and a Ceramic coat - C Quartz

I always deal with Wolverhampton OPC so anyone around this area he would travel to i’m sure.
