A couple of pictures of my Leon after some detailing work

It does look amazing mate, I think its my fave colour tbh. It looked naff on CGIs and all the press shots were red when I ordered. And you're right it takes a lot longer than an hour - mine took 2 days to fully go over inside and out.

Gaffer, yes unfortunately. Every single car in the SEAT dealer had it. Mine is worst on the lower sections of the vertical panels.

Dean, does that mean the orange peel effect is local to the batch of cars at your dealers or do you think they're all like it?

As they are all made in the same couple of factories and painted in the same way I would say all. You can see it in Marves pics above. Wobbly reflections. It's not crazy bad compared to what you would see on a Peugeot or somrthing but enough to annoy me out of £300-400.

Couldn't agree with you more Dean, the CGI shot on the seat configurator was awful and put me off getting the blue.

How ever looking at Marv's pictures, it's one good looking colour! Would of seriously considered it if i'd seen a picture before ordering my emocion red

Got mine detailed the other week, didn't want to take it outside it looked so nice

I was almost tempted to set marvs car as my wallpaper to give me something to look forward to, but I may be dissapointed when mine arrives and I notice how flat the paint is after seeing marvs car on my desktop for 3 months.

Pop over and you can use my stuff. Only in Braintree

That's a very nice suggestion Dean, trouble for me is more time than anything, I have £200 - £300 worth of cleaning stuff but it never really gets used as my job kind of makes cleaning cars well pointless.

Ah I get you. I feel the same sometimes - 200 mile commute means my effort is short lived.

Exactly, especially as they've been rebuilding my road for 6 months now, one drive down that road is all it take to splatter mud everywhere.

At least if it's sealed or waxed well a wash is quick and easy and it looks as good as it did.

I can get away with about 6 weekly snow foams before **** start to stick.
