Thanks guys, looks like Autoglym going to be getting my loyalty then. Have found a great product to deal with the milky ally as well, lance cleaners where not interested in rectifying there over use of chemicals and insufficient rinsing and drying as I couldn't prove that it wasn't like that before I visited them. Never again!!

Hi all
Ive read through the posts re cleaning routines, and Autoglym products seem popular but they seem to be for newer models, is this product still ok for an 03 , or are there more suitable products for older metallic paintwork ?.
Had a bad experience this week with a cheap Eastern euro carwash sending all my silver ally milky so bought some Mothers Mag & Aluminium polish which has managed to get the vast majority of it off : ), but how do i protect the roof rails and window trims from further dulling?
I checked out Dr Colourchip as recommended on here but cant find Atlas Grey in their options are there any other recommended products for chip repair?
Also headlight kits, any recommendations or will toothpaste do the job?
Sorry about all the newbie questions , but so want to keep my new found love shining : )
Thanks in advance

All your input is greatly appreciated Gareth , the bubbling you see underneath the rust is actually the rain i have not wiped away properly : ) Will take a dry pic in the morning for you, which will show more clearly,
Ive received a quote this evening to remove the rust , treat with rust killer , repair prime and paint the rear arch and the rear door for colour would at £ 350.00
Which sounds far more reasonable.

Ive been quoted 650 +vat to prepare and respray a little bit of surface rust on top of rear wheel arch , looks like and old scuff thats been left too long.
They have quoted for removal of quarter panel and a door blend.
Surely thats way too much, or am i just out of touch?
Any advice much appreciated

Hi Andrew, I'm the other side of Essex to you and use an independent in Epping - PMW - https://www.pmwgermancarspecialists.co.uk/
I had BMW before and have now used them for my Audi, my wife's Merc and now a couple of family and friends use them.
Not sure of anything nearer but Harlow has a lot of independents and could fish for some recommendations that way...
Thanks

Thanks for the info, will give them a look up. Im in Roydon and have not found any Audi guys in Harlow at all, except Clover Autos in North weald

Welcome to the forum Andrew, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I can't really help with your question but I have to say your a6 looks to be in great condition. Love the colour abd I'm guessing by the wheels it's a sport model 🙂
What's the mileage on your a6?
cheers
Steve
