It's a mates unit, I'm not that fortunate! Costs me a crate every now and then!!

Get it done, you'll get the use out of it. Can't you do bits yourself to cut costs? Or is that the plan? 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

i would do as much as possible myself, like ground work, then get the builders in to build the rest

but thought £16k on levelling the garden and building a garage, might be better to include it and do the house extension at the same time, one lot of planning app and one extra loan on the mortgage Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've just spent 8 hrs on my paint and alloys......it's looking very shinny,....even better than it was when I picked it up,......after a lot of thought and confusion what to use,...as this detailing game is a mine field for products,... Confused Anyway I've be a fan of most of the smartwax range,..but fancied the modern sealants ,......and went for wolfs hard body,..pros and cons ect,ect,.bought the sample 50 ml bottles,shine and seal ,hard body and rim shield ,,£27!!!..thought I would not have enough when it came,but u must use the hard body in thin layers,,I'm almost done my second coat,,,,so its very cost affective.cant say anymore than this yet,,but it shines very good.used shine and seal first with a da and a soft pad,applied by hand ans polished off with the da at 3000 speed,,,first time ive used one,,,,neighbours looked horrified to hear this machine on a new car,, Rolling with laughter as it is a bit loud,time will tell,I will ask my son to put pics on here if I can drag him of the x box Thumbs Up Current: Freelander 2 GS, Orkney Grey, Factory fit privacy glass, design pack and Clearview pack.

Well just a quick recommendation for a product. I used Dodo Supernatural Acrylic Spritz sealant on top of my wax and I must say I'm very impressed, driving to work this morning in the rain and it looks just as clean, water and muck has not stuck and just beaded straight off, not even a grimy layer.

It will get a couple more layers before deepest, darkest winter sets in and will also be treating the wheels to some. 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto
