My new D3 HSE
Hello all
After taking delivery of my HSE just before Christmas I've finally managed to give it a good clean and take a few pics.
Currently on 87k with full LR history including "the big one".

Thanks folks, Lady Muck I used Autoglym Bumper & trim Gel care on the arches & exterior plastics. Under the bonnet and on the side steps I used 303 Aerospace Protectant.
I'm not convinced of the longevity of the Autoglym so if it does turn out to be poor I'll push the boat out and try gtechniq C4 next time.

it's a UV protectant - plastic contains kind-of anti oxidants, the stuff that keeps it 'plasticky'
303 stops vinyls from going brittle. Ideal on hot tub covers.
It restores plastic without making it 'siliconey'
