Amazing car though, big step up from the audi! Still getting my head around the setup and the performance!!
Ha Ha, i thought the photos had an air of Scottish property about them . The biggest thing for your paint, is going to be the correct procedure for washing, and correct wash mitt/pad. It needs to be done by somebody who understands, and knows what they are doing. Im not criticizing in any way shape or form, but a £20 a week valet, is not going to cut it, because they wont spend enough time doing it. I would even say, have a mobile detailer come round once a month to do it properly, rather than do more frequent weekly washes. It depends how you view such things, it may not bother you about swirls etc, but others, me included, see it as an absolute no no. Dont despair though, because you have bought a stunning car, it just takes a bit of care to keep it that way

Very keen eye sir, Oban to be precise great driving up there! Yeah that makes sense with regards to the cleaning, of course I wanna keep it fresh I might up the budget and look for less frequent cleans.

Thanks for the tips!

Concur on the washing. I just had to get my M5 machine polished and detailed after local regular 'valeter' had ruined my paintwork using crappy cloths. Being super careful now who does it and bought all the materials myself when I can't get anyone whom I trust to do it.

Ive always been so fussy about washing my cars, so a detailer at heart. My car is still 98% perfect after 12 months of me washing it. You can never say never to getting the odd swirl or marring from washing, however careful you are, but if you wash it with the care and attention it deserves, you can cut them down drastically .
