Well, we done the deed yesterday and paid the deposit on our
Monsoon grey Q3. Build is week 04 – so it will be the new 14 reg in March. This
kind of makes the wait more palatable.
Thanks for posting the pictures. We also have the titanium/grey interior on
order do you have any pictures of the interior?
Talking of pictures, looking at your photos I am still
bemused at the use of a hose pipe and water to wash cars. I've posted on this subject before in other
threads on this forum but no one has taken the bait!
I am an avid car cleaner, lifelong Autoglym user and am a tad anal about driving a dirty car. We
have a Toyota in white pearl and a SAAB in Silver which, despite living down a
lane that gets muddy from tractor traffic are both kept pristine. The Q3 will
be subject to the same rigour.
For the last 3 years all of our cars have been kept clean
using waterless cleaning products. I can't even remember the last time I used a
bucket of water. Waterless products (particularly Showroom Shine from Greased Lightning)
is amazing stuff.
A leap of faith is needed here. It doesn't make sense to
wash, clean and polish a car like this. But it works, it's fast, and after you
have used it a couple of times it builds
up a layer so that bird crap , tar and grime just will not stick . I'm starting
to sound like a salesman (I'm not).
SWIRLS! I hear the detailers cry. Nope, wrong - not a single
one under any inspection. I can absolutely assure everyone that if I had the
slightest doubt it was damaging the paint work I wouldn't use it.
With respect, in the photos you have posted after washing
the car it doesn't look particularly clean. And you still have to leather and
polish it, clean the windows, do the chrome do the exterior plastics etc etc (and
I'll bet you are wet and cold). Waterless will clean all of that in one go (but
not the windscreen)
I'd recommend you give it a try, particularly if you want your Q3 to always look like it's just come out of the showroom – I can assure you it will
be the best piece of advice anyone has given you for a long time.
