Tony Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Good question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Is it as resilient as it suggests? And does it require special care to maintain it or does it mean you can be less fussy about the washing process? Truth is i dont know, its the first time for me, its meant to last 12-18 months. I have a mate who is a detailer on the coast and uses a similar product and reckons seagull poo wont mark the paint with this on. Car should stay cleaner longer and should be easier to wash as well as more resilient to marking , after washing you top up with a spray product like a quick detailer. It is however more fiddly to use and its not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 It looks like it does a great job so i suppose the next question is how much was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 £46 for the little pot and 100 mls of the spray detailer, on top you need polish another £15 and a degreaser another £12 or so , but that should do a few cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well perfection has a price and to be honest if i had a new car i would expect nothing less for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Quite pricey then! Will be interested to hear how it lasts, and whether the price is justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just come back from 1500 miles driving to France , then Belgium (Ypres and Bruges) , then onto Amsterdam Using the tunnel wasn't as good as past years but not as bad as the papers would have you believe. Car behaved faultlessly as expected averaged almost 42mpg on one trip and whole trip average was over 38mpg which isn't bad considering the amount of stuff we had in it and the queuing at the chunnel The headlights automatically dipping to the right is a very nice touch , it works off the Sat Nav and you get this warning everything you start up Being able to set the digital speedo and cruise to kmh made life easier as well Super Unleaded was just over £1 per litre also !

parthiban Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 The headlights automatically dipping to the right is a very nice touch , it works off the Sat Nav and you get this warning everything you start up That's very clever! Are there still many people around the tunnel trying to get through? Thought that sort of went in waves rather than a continuous influx?

Are there still many people around the tunnel trying to get through? Thought that sort of went in waves rather than a continuous influx? We didn't see any but I think they are entered around the frieght area. Op stack was still going when we left and there are still 150 or so breaking in every night . The frequent tunnel searches are delaying operations as well , can't help feeling that a lot of news is being kept from the public Last Friday there were 5-6 hour delays leaving Folkestone according to Twitter , we were shifted off our booked trains on both journeys thanks to delays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 They've put in more fences, razor wire, more sniffer dogs and private security so hopefully should improve the situation. They say 150 attempts a night now - but how do they know because the don't know how many are getting through. Also, some are now moving to other ports as they are easier than Calais is now.

Tony Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 And they protested about the new fences going up...... How does that work then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Not updated this one for an age , guess thats a good thing. No issues at all with the car, mpg seems to have settled to around 36mpg which is pretty awesome really , had it on the dyno at my old work and it made well over the standard figures of 216hp which is fairly typical for Skodas in my experience, it does feel pretty quick , as a day to day car its plenty I've been using the Jag of late so thought I would give the Skoda a really good winter detail as it lives outside , so the usual washing and then polishing with Reflect etc then one coat of Poorboys EX-P sealant , followed by two coats of Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 followed by two coats of Petes 53 wax , then finally Zaino z8 . Left it a day in between each coat to full cure , the idea is that the Jetseal will last at least until the spring if topped with wax and it added such a depth of gloss I was stunned . Going to do the same with the Jag now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Looks brilliant! When you left it a day between coats did you wash it first? Or was it kept in the garage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 That mpg is pretty good, where is the car usually driven, town or motorway? Handy having that garage. When we move I'm not getting a house without one or it at least needs the space to build one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Impressive... What tax category is the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I thought it would be cheaper with such good fuel mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
