That looks great!

How did you get on with the G Tecniq coating? I have some to try on my car paint but waiting to find time for a machine polish first.

Was it easy to apply/buff off?

Saw your old car for sale the other day, so tempting if i had the funds ! Enjoying the D3?

D3 is lovely to drive especially with the connected drive and online media - really luxorious!

I use the G technique on the windows, so will only know how good it is when it rains!!

Cheers matey. Nasty ear infections are quite painful so she needs a couple of days to fight it out.

Hope we can have a Sytner meet soon!!
