Just been 'SupaGarded' ......
My new D4 has just had the treatment. I used a company called Ultimate Car Paint Protection Ltd. They did it on my driveway, the chap was very friendly and has done a superb job. He even says he will pop back and treat the black grills and lettering when its fitted.
All I need now is my dealer to come up with the correct black grills and letters!
Best bit was the price, dealer wanted £400 I paid £240, and it included paintwork, wheels, leather.

Protects the paint and leather from the elements apparently.

U can get the sponges on the bay for a couple of pounds, do it once a year to keep the paint sealed, really simple process, apply the polish,leave for 20 mins and buff off with a microfibre,
Looks great by the way to finish second is to be first last !!

Mine was done when it was new and I was thinking of having it done again 6 years old. Do you know if its a straight forward reapplication?

I dont know, but the car was really dirty this morning, and he did give it a good clean first. However, if your paint is tired I would suspect they would want to t-cut it first (or similar)

Gareth I assume you're gong to get a second set of 19"ers for playing in? You wouldn't want to ding those wheels.
Assuming you're still going to slum it and get it muddy.
