I'm JD. However, JD has no time for his own car currently, and as much as I hate passing on detailing business, I would get in touch with DA's contact (migilor details).
As am I Jim. As mentioned, I'm really not a believer in this sort of thing, but that thread really does show it's worth. If and when I get the chance to attend Audis in the Park etc, this could be useful!
And that included me, up until now!

Quite incredible! Doesn't mean I will be going to it, as I have access to the necessary equipment, but certainly an impressive outcome!
Yet to find a product that can solve this :(
Looks good chap - all the better for the fact that it's well protected :) The dirt must have just slid off :)
APC? Not sure on that one chap. That will be stripping off most waxes/LSPs that are on the car if you do that every wash... I think you're thinking of snow foam :)
For a standard wash, I pressure wash, snow foam, clean wheels, clean body work with the 2BM, open hose techniq to get rid of most...
I prefer the shorter pile towels for pat drying tbh. But the one linked above is superb. I have three of those still and quite a few of these;

Agreed.
The problem with the 2.XX Karchers, is they are sealed units. We bought one, it failed, we were told to buy another as the motors couldn't be replaced. My advice, buy 3.XX and above. Means you won't have to buy twice if the motor fails, as these are removable and can therefore be changed.
Chris, I missed your last question pal, apologies!
Karcher are a very well known brand. They are pretty reliable from all accounts. I have one and find it perfectly acceptable!
There are quite a few other makes out there, like Nilfisk that quite a number of people are also getting good reviews...
Not really talking about going through buddy, more how much paint you remove each time. The art of machine polishing is to remove swirls and UDS with the least amount of paint depth loss possible.
Ah a MF mitt user, like Richy. I can't stand them, but each to their own ;)
As above, depends how far you want to go, but a decent mitt, two buckets, a decent shampoo (megs gold class is perfectly acceptable) and a decent drying towel. The one you've linked to is awesome!
Lol, missed that one. Can't even remember what the hell it is now?!
As above. Get a pro to fix the car's paint, then buy the right equipment to maintain it, i.e. washmitt, two buckets, etc.
