I've not had chance to detail yet so 'raw' pictures as collected yesterday and after 40miles when we stopped, Completed 300 miles yesterday as part of the 520mile round trip saw 37 mpg already. The Cayman averaged 33.3mpg over its time with me, I'd be happy with the same overall from the Cayenne once its run in and loosened up.

Loving the selectable suspension Sport to Comfort such a difference, the handling defies it size really does feels so much smaller than it is, and great having a car with xenon's again had missed those.

Couple of pics

Have you got a special set of detailing ladders :D

Looking good, they are looking great and some are second hand bargains.

Does it have an electronic hand break?

Yes it does have an electronic hand brake seems to be transparent, and if you are on a hill it has a hold function and light lights saying Hold so it all seems to just work.

Thanks for all the comments, put the car to work today and been biking.

Then a quick wash as where we went was very dusty and we drove a fair bit in rain yesterday, first chance to review the prep of the paintwork, it is so so smooth not a single piece of tar or anything on any panel, it beads beautifully and looked like this after just over an 1hr.

Image

I need to ask what's been put on it before I strip it back and start again, in case it's something worthing waiting to wear off and it doesn't need a clay.

Apologies for continued us of collages but they are so much quicker to do :-)

The paintwork looks very good as it is, if it cleans so quickly I would be tempted to leave it alone for a few washes. :)

I prefer the collages :)

The car was finished with Autoglym no12 radiant wax polish, Based on that and the smoothness of the car will do a top layer of Zymol vintage wax and after a cure a spritz of project32, should see us through the summer, windows and wheels will be as planned.
