So I gave my car it's first real detail today! Previously it had only been washed with shampoo, and I also have never done anything but just wash and dry, so here goes!
First I rinsed with a normal hose
Washed wheels with shampoo
Then using MER High Shine Shampoo I gave her a good wash
Fully...
I read on here earlier that quinn direct don't charge for any mods except engine modifications, although that was dated 2009, would be interesting if anyone has a modified car insured with them and can confirm this?
Thanks guys, I'll probably give them a call soon then and see if the price can be haggled with at all, but after hearing everyone else's opinions, I'm not expecting much cheaper!
Haha I know it's not cheap but I'm not going to go all out, just some of the very basics but good quality products :) already found out how expensive running a car is and I haven't even passed my test yet hahaha
tried a few of these and they all come up as unable to obtain a quote, and telling me to ring up.. annoying:triumph:
so one more question, is there any insurance companies that are likely to meet or beat any quotes? thanks in advance guys!
I'm also hoping to give her a weekly wash! It's nice to see the car actually clean for once haha! So you use the qd weekly after washing and drying? Or after washing before drying? Bought some megs microfiber cloths earlier and they're much better than the cheap rubbish I had before haha! Thanks...
Really don't want a black box :( I'd rather fork out an extra £400 than be tracked on every single decision I make on the road haha, I'll ring up some of the bigger companies seeing if they can beat my best quote so far! Haha I'd love to own a R32 at my age, I bet I couldn't get insured for even...
Ouch haha! I know it's a good quote, just double checking there isn't anywhere cheaper! Also I might ring up and see if they can offer lower on the phone too:)
Just wondering if any young drivers here have got any decent quotes on insurance for a 1.2? I'm 17 and drive a 1.2 05 plate clio, cheapest quote I've got is £1550 tpf&t from Quinn Direct. Anyone got anything cheaper recently? Thanks!
Thanks for all that information! Will hopefully pick up a bottle of one of those soon then! Is it just spray on, wipe and wipe off? Also is a weekly wash and dry suffice?
How often? Or is that dependent on road conditions and stuff? Just when needed then? And oh okay! Thought it needed to be done more often that that :) sorry I'm new to detailing, what exactly is quick detail spray? And how often should I be doing that? Much appreciated :)
That's amazing! Thank you so much! Couple of questions, should I be using the bug and tar remover with washing? And how often should I wax the car? I was thinking a weekly wash and then wax whenever I need to? Thanks
So I've just cleaned my car using some halfords shampoo, lambswool mitt and some microfiber cloths, cane up looking nice but I'm sure it could be better! My question is what else should I buy? I was thinking a Polish and wax to shine and protect it, but need some advice as I'm new to detailing...
JJust used the 3m headlight restoration kit, I bought for £15 from the bay! Very happy with the results, not perfect but 100 times better than they were!
