Re: Paint Protection. I’ve got it but is it worth it?

£499😳 The 'new Car Detail' which I was recommended to go for, included full exterior prep and sealant/coating, alloy wheel sealant, interior trim plastics, carpets and mats, seat leather (bolsters) and alcantara facings etc, came in at a very acceptable £250.00 and takes a full day to complete. I w...

Re: Paint Protection. I’ve got it but is it worth it?

Happy days! Just picked up, this rainy pm, my pride and joy from the detailers, as mentioned in my other posts. Having spent a frustrating 3+ weeks of ownership not actually touching the paint work with anything more physical than a weekly jet wash and DI water rinse (no drying required) Chris and h...

Re: Arrived on the 31st.....first trip out!

Sorry Azza_86, I`m not ignoring you, but, it looks like I`ve just wasted 2hrs+ of my time, writing you a 'How-To' for making the Black Lettering/Emblems, amounting to about half of an A4 sheet in total! :x Wrote it out, checked it, hit 'preview' and was sent back to the forum log-in page?? WHY?? So ...

Re: Paint Protection. I’ve got it but is it worth it?

Big waste of money - Read the reviews. Money would be much better spent have a professional detailer seal the car. If your car is going to spend a major proportion of its time parked in the open in all weathers, as is mine on the drive, its absolutely essential to get the car sealed/treated, prefer...

Re: Arrived on the 31st.....first trip out!

Just fitted the 'folding' boot floor unit that I had ordered from my parts contact at a local dealer, so I can keep the old groceries etc from falling over. For those interested, the Part Number is :- V31484758 at the discounted price of £225.45 +vat, not cheap I hear you say, but its way cheaper th...

Re: Arrived on the 31st.....first trip out!

Very nice. I’m still waiting. It’s good to see the little flag on the wing (I zoomed in). I understood that it was only FE that had these so perhaps they’ve been rolled out into normal production models now. Hi all, I did wonder if the 'little flag' would be noticed! This is no longer o/e fitted by...
