Very nice Mac135 - love the Panther Black. To me, much more interesting than a traditional metallic black.
Congrats on the car too.
Hey guys just joined the OzAudi forum and thought i would share some pics of my S3.
Hope you guys like it
Yes I used the Optimum Opti-glass.
I've never coated my glass in the past either but can say that I'm really happy. There was a light shower on my way home the other day and the water just beaded off.
The bottle was was a bit pricey - $129.95 retail - but I get it cheaper since I know the guy who owns the shop.
There's really not a lot to it. Clay bar the glass, give it a thorough clean, wipe with isopropyl alcohol and apply the coating. Although it does need to be applied with care or else you will get smear marks on the glass.
How much do they charge at a detailers?
if you're in Brissy, I'm happy to show you.

Some of mine- post detail
One other thing I noticed is that the snow foam ran straight off the windows. It beaded on the paintwork but did a proper job. I'll post some pre and post-Opti glass snow foam pics on the weekend after I wash it.
The glass was super easy to clean but I'll put that down partly to opti glass and partly because the car's only been used properly for 2 weeks so the glass doesn't have any road grime or build up.
I'll be interested to hear your thoughts Dingah, I hope it works out well for you.
@2muchcoffeeman - looks great!

Thanks mate - it'll undergo the treatment in a couple of weeks out at Mitchell.
The concern with the windscreen is wiper blade shudder during protracted rain/wiping.
Being only a few months old the amount of spider crazing is still limited so I am optimistic.
Treatment of the black B pillars will be most welcome as you only have to look at them to induce fine lines.
The finish will compliment the 'other' work done recently by the folk at the other end of the street (!!)
