I am after a bit of advice having taken delivery of a new SD4 HSE in Sumatra (Black - the only colour to have). Anyone with any thoughts on Autoglym Lifeshine? Is it worth having especially as I live 300 yards from the sea and the gulls seem to use my drive for target practice. Also, I have have had different quotes ranging from £235 plus vat up to £374, no vat. If I do go for it what should I be paying for an FL2? Is it really an 8 hour job on a new car as one valeter has said it is? Any help gratefully received.

Also, SWMBO parked in Tescos today and some t**t in a Suzuki reversed into her scuffing the bumper. Anyone, used Chipsaway or a similar company in the Sussex area for minor repairs like this or stone chips? She is now banned from Tescos and told to go to Waitrose instead as at least there you get a better class of c**p driver.

Don't waste your money, if you want life shine you can buy the kit off fle bay for a lot less money. I would just buy some autoglym hd wax for about £ 25 from amazon it will give as good protection and a better shine. Or look at wolfs chemicals body wrap.

ive just done mine,the previous owner kept it clean so no swirls or scratches.
wiped down with ipa,then used supagard buffed when dry,then a good coat of carnuba wax the rain sheets off .
dealers charge £350 roughly for the supagard treatment cost me £5 fleabay and took 8 hours to do right.

Thanks for the advice.

thats why in my opinion the supagard treatment is better as its inside the sponge,diamondbrite and the others can be diluted

@executive Valeter Do not promote your business on the forum if you wish to do so become a sponsor  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

So Sorry lol. No other forums that I frequent seem to have an issue with members offering to assist others. They have threads started by members when other members have worked on their cars! Almost like Ebay & the Ebay Police!!

If I read the above correctly then if I want to become a sponsor I can't promote the business - Kind Of pointless then. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

I think a "," is missing, how easy it is to misconstrue a sentence through the omission of such a tiny device

I agree, a bit harsh, your not going to stomp all over anyones toes.

Read the rules on commercial postings EV

I agree your not treading on anyone's toes, but then if you allow one, you allow all, so sponsors that actually do pay might as well not, then the revenue they bring doesn't exsist and then neither does the forum

It's also not the first time you have been warned!! Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I agree, I would help one too, but I don't promote the business i work for and make money from the forum in doing so.

Rules are rules, if anyone wants to promote their business then speak to Martin and see what can be put together Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Sorry npinks - what I should have added - (trying to be diplomatic!!!!)


Offering your business services without being a 'site sponsor' is cheeky and against the site rules.... 2002 Honda VFR800
