Awesome job with the wax there and the photos are superb.

What wax are you using as I find black is a nightmare that shows swirls, where the wax goes on better in places than others and you are left with streaks etc so I end up having to wax it one way then 90 degrees the other way to avoid this :(

Thanks for the comments :)

Gareth the S4 is a very dark metalic blue polish wise I use as listed below

Zymol

Meguires bacuniba +

And a 100 % bacuniba paste

When applied I use a soft application sponge and remove with a very soft cloth. I even have swirls sometimes it cannot be odds but the overall appearance of the car is pleasing to the eye

That's the price you pay for the depth of the paint reflection.
The car's looking great, how are you finding now after a few weeks?

On driving it home I was disappointed with the power to be honest but the drive and refinements where spot on. On getting it home I was convinced there was something not quite right with it so had a poke about on the forums and a look round the car an as expected there was a few issues the Y pipe to throttle body had split and the F pipe had as well both had splits around 1" so all the boost was escaping.

I then replaced the Y pipe and done the mods called F pipe delete and bypassed the electronic valve that controls the re-serc valves they are now direct to the inlet plenum.

After the above mods its a totally different car the throttle response is instant and it now pulls like a train Martyn (turbomart) on here has driven it and as he said he has a good arse dyno he thinks the car is over 300 bhp by the way it goes. I'm hoping to get it into APT friday to put it on the rollers to see what level its at.

My honest opinion having owned a scooby,evo,gti-r and a lot of other cars this has to be the best I have owned for refinement and drive its quiet and very smooth and is a good all round car.

If it's doing 300 bhp its doing exceptionally well so fingers crossed for you!
