I 100% agree. I do two snow foams, two bucket, wash mitts made from the softest whatever. That's why I was so peeved when you go to all that effort and you get stone chips on it :-(

Just my 2d worth. Feel free to ignore ;-)

I've had two cars now done with this type of after market coating and, tbh, I wouldn't do it again.
The problems are
a) I'm not convinced it's good...

Next door neighbour has recently gone from an Ftype V6S to an alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio. Only a couple of months old so far but nothing's dropped off unlike his experience with the jag :-( It...

From time to time I've considered a DiY Caterham but, as you hinted, there really isn't anything in it money wise. Chuck in the hassle/cost of SVA or getting the factory to do it for you and, IMHO,...

Just had a spare 5 mins to look that up.... yes I see what you mean ;-)

I would never take what ever TG says as a fair assessment of any car. Heck they said the 4C was a great car! :la:

Love that alpine... want one!

The dryer..? it's the smallest in the Metroc Vac range, the Blaster Sidekick

You lucky, lucky, b*****d. I've recently been perusing the various sites for 'proper' landrovers for sale - itching to get back to the marque. There's not a week goes past that I don't think back...

I think it's going to take some time before I build up the confidence to subject it to a supermarket car park ;-)

He (the Detailer) has told me NO dust covers... let it get dusty and then rinse it off and blow dry (I now have a proper car dryer/blower!).

£680 plus a couple of packets of biscuits and a box of tea bags to keep him fuelled whilst he was working :-) I'll be honest I doubted the expenditure before hand and I really didn't believe it was...

Boxster 981.... 'cause every car nut must, once in their life, own a Porsche.

Just after 35 hours detailing!!

Now looking unbelievable (and how I expected it to come from the dealer back in...

Waxoyling is something I used to do every two years on the landrovers. Got it off to a 'T'. Jerry can with 50/50 waxoyle/derv. Tarpaulin on the floor. Drive onto said tarpaulin. Old clothes to be...

I had a landrover D90 where it was present after two years! I think the issues reported for Lotus has been on vehicles c. 10 years old:

As the past owner of 4 landrovers (I mean 'proper' landrovers not chelsea cruisers) I can contest to this. However the problem is really where the alluminium is in contact with other metals lower...

Well if we're showing off our (self) Christmas Pressies then...

Still got to break the news to SWMBO...

What a sight and what a great place to live.... Now if you could just get rid of the 4x4 and the red rubbish bin ;-)

Better engine than a Z4 and MUCH prettier :-)

Just driven the Elise to work for the first time this year. Roof off it was darn cold! Sunny but cold :-(

Hmmm... well the tins of stuff say plastidip on them! They also sell as a DiY kit! Did you look at the link?

No affiliation but it was a thread on Seloc and the finished pictures looked stunning!

If you want to see Plastidip to the extreme then just look at one of the Lotus guys has done...

A had two Defenders (actually the first was a D90), one after the other, and found them to be a fantastic do-it-all vehicle. Holidays, commuting, trips to the tip or garden centre, general run...
