How much did your detail cost? Crystal Serum light is about the lowest hardness ceramic you can get and will only last realistically about 12-18 months before it’s benefits start to degrade.

The detailer told me in about a tear it would lose its hydrophobic qualities and probably need topped up, but at £350 I wasn’t complaining. Next cheapest for similar was £525, ranging upto £699!

You could always keep it topped up yourself and use Auto Curators’ Hydro Repel. It’s like liquid ceramic in a spray. The best detailing kit by far.

I had an evoque prior to the v90. I’m just not a fan of 4x4’s. Bought in new in september and was gone by March. I just like sitting down low in a car. Probably comes from my love of motorbikes and feeling closer to the road.

Same here- I'm a wagon guy.. I traded a V60 for an XC60.. I was going for a V90CC initially- but after having tested it several times it just seemed too big for me.. and I just couldn't wait for the new V60 I love my XC- but the next one is probably going to be a wagon
