Hi Chaps,
Following a feature we carried out for GTPorsche magazine earlier in the year, the soon to be owner of a 2012 Audi TT, S-Line Black Edition contacted us after being intrigued and impressed by the process we had outlined in the feature. It was arranged that we would carry out a full protection detail on the vehicle on delivery, and that Zaino would be the chosen protection option!

Chip was filled with paint, topped with a little lacquer and lightly flatted, unfortunately forgot to grab a finished pic!
Duh! :chicken:
