What have you done to your car today ???

Took it down for an air-con cleanse because it smelled (it had been little used by the PO for quite a while) and then got it in the air to try and work out what to do with the poorly fitting exhaust. It's secure enough, but leaking at 3 joints. Also did a noise measurement and was pleasantly surprised with a static measurement of <90 dB at 5500 rpm. Maybe it's not as loud as I think it is.

Plastidipping what?

Whenever I used that stuff it only took a couple of coats.

Chrome shite on my car (done the window surrounds ages ago, and finally got round to doing the grill surround) looks good to be fair. I just wonder how it's going to hold up with a jet wash and brush scrub... we'll find out soon hopefully.

I had a flaky b pillar trim on my old A3, a quick scotchbrite and couple of coats and it lasted fine. I was a bit more careful with the jet wash around it but aside from that it held up quite well.

Thanks, hopefully be okay. Only annoying thing is I scratched a couple of really small sections and I don't really see how I can touch it up easily? The marks are like 1mm!
