Just used Zymol on my car, and figured out how to post pictures, so I thought I'd show you what it looks like. Strange putting the wax on with my hands but thats what the tub said so thats what I did, bit like giving your car a massage (very odd!!)

I got a complete kit from a valeter at work, its got everything in it - clay, lube, vinyl treatment, leather treatment, pre wax clean, various applicators, microfibre cloths and "concours" wax. The guy swears by it and claims its the best stuff out there - smells like banannas!! The kit retails at about Â£300, the wax alone is Â£160 for the tub - I didnt pay anywhere near that though!! Have to say though I dont think I will ever run out of the wax, done the whole car and not even scratched the surface of whats in the tub - it goes along way. Just googled Zymol and there are loads of places to get it from - Demon Tweeks being one. Well happy with the results

I got a Leon Cupra R Brembo 4 pot kit from a contact at work. Check out Jabbasports site as I think they sell them. I paid Â£500 for the complete kit which included brakes, 2 calipers, 2 drilled disks and even braided lines. I fitted it myself and it was very very easy to do, one bracket on the car needed modification but nothing major. Hardest part was bleading the system. Word of warning though, be prepared to spend hours and hours at alloy wheel shops with a bucket (sure you can work out why) trying to find a decent set of alloys that will clear the calipers.

...............Or you could use spacers, which I wouldnâ€™t do. I ended up getting Compomotive to make some Alloys for me. Donâ€™t expect nicely finished items from them though. When I got them through there was machining marks all over them - not happy. They are motorsport wheels I suppose and aint ment to look pretty. Gonna get them re finished at some point as a friend of mine curbed some

The Brembos are awesome and I cant fault them. You could use TT brakes and there are many other performance brakes out there. I got the Brembos cause I have always trusted them and as they come of a Seat its still kinda OEM which does it for me.

There's been a lot of debate over on cupranet over the years which wheels will fit the Brembos off the Cupra R.
Audi TT wheels seem to be okay and looking at the ABT/BBS wheels on my Polo I would think they would clear the calipers okay as the spokes have loads of clearance, plus they're OEM (official Audi accessories in the UK and 'approved' tuner in Germany), so there's a few alternatives.
Fantastic brakes though. A mate has a Cupra R and you can really feel the brakes are special even from low speeds. The car just brakes confidently unlike the Polo at speed!

Back to the original topic: Nice shine!!! I've used Zymol in the past and it's good stuff. Not such top of the range stuff as it seems you've got there though. And yes, it smells divine!!!
