Gussa,I personally use the meguiars ultimate quik wax once every month or so,it is easy to apply just wash and dry the car first then one section at a time using a quality microfibre cloth spray on and remove,the results are pretty good,though I still paint clean and re-seal with meguiars nxt sealant every 4 months or so,im no professional detailer and im aware there is better products out there from places like waxit, I find it works well for me is quick and easy, I guess I see it as a top up for the sealant/wax,my car spends the week days in the garage so it doesn't get the crap on it that you get from driving it every day,there might be a few professional detailers on the forum that will be able to give you better advice,but I don't think you'll be able to get away from spending an hour or so once a week to keep it protected and looking good.cheers

thanks all for the replies,I agree 100% with what your saying CBXRT,which is the only reason I thought to take it to a ford dealership,that and to recieve any software updates issued by ford,I rang another dealership today and got quoted $280 might see if the dealership closer to me where I bought the car from will match the other dealers price. thanks again

Hi all, just wanting to find out what your 15000km/1 year service cost from ford was,I have been quoted $440 from two dealerships here in brisbane,I've had my g6et for almost a year and have carried out two oil and filter changes myself (even though the car has only travelled 5000kms),I will be supplying the oil and filter as I don't want to run full synthetic oil till 10,000km,I've been running ford lpg15w-40 which is apparently the correct oil to run as advised by ford at a cost of $50 total cost for oil and filter,so from what I can tell they are stinging people $440 for an oil and filter change and a checkover etc, is this correct?

ok thanks for the replies, much appreciated,ill just keep the maintenance up on them and see how they go thanks again.

Thanks for the reply guy's, the car hardly see's the sun at all as I have a second car to drive to work and the dreaded shopping centre car park,so it sits in the garage most of the time,has never sat out in the sun for more than a couple of hours,I weigh 70kgs so they aren't getting squashed,it gets a clean/condition every two months using Bowden's Own products which I believe to be a good quality product.The leather isn't cracking or anything just seem's to be creasing and doesn't look like it will last a long time,if that's how everyone elses is then that's fine just want to find out if its normal wear,I had a ten year old Audi A4 before the g6e and the seats in that were still like new. Thanks

Hi all, I purchased my g6et new in september 2010 and was just wanting to know how other owners have found the wear rate of the leather seats, the car only gets used on weekends and is garaged through the week,has only travelled about 2500kms and ive found the seats to be creasing/wearing quite rapidly,has any one else noticed this?
