I'm 28, 10 years PNCB, 1 writeoff (my fault) and 3 points. The 197's previous term was £901 with Flux, their renewal came through at £1490 - this after being with them for 7 years and them always managing to beat any other quote.
The cheapest by far were Sky Insurance, with the added advantage...
Even though i'm saving for a new car (and stupidly looking at VX220 Turbos right now...), I have a list forming ..... :
- Vikan Arch Brush
- CG Hexalogic Pads
- Chem Guys V3 Hybrid Sealant
- Chem Guys Woolly Mammoth drying towel
- A new SF lance as mine no longer produces foam
- G101
- Some...
As I say, it wasn't a dig at you - I just notice that DW goes through phases and fads of must have brands. Over the past few years it's gone from Zaino - Dodo Juice - Wolfs - AutoBrite and now it seems Auto Finesse.
When I first saw TyroMania announced I was quite intrigued, as it's a totally...
I use Zaino Z16. Easy application, great durability and very economical. Plus it smells awesome!
Although as Auto Finesse seems to be the brand of the moment, i'm sure someone will be along to say AF Gloss / Satin is superior ;).
Gotta say, i'm looking forward to a none silver car - although after owning 2 black cars, along with all their frustrations, they do look great when well maintained.
The depth of the paint isn't 'too' bad for silver I guess :
Looking good Joe - But i'm sure you could find a better place for snaps then Sainsburys car park ffs:rasp:! Bet it sounds mean as f*ck.
I'm looking at selling the 197 for an R26 - I'm sure you had one at some point? (I lose track with your cars!)
I've been with them for 7 years. However, with my current premium being £890, and their renewal quote being £1490 and them being unable to drop that at all - i've defected to Sky for a far more sensible sum of £720.
No, Valetines Concours, not Vics Concours - it seems to have gotten favourable feedback on DW too.
Witnessed the beading tonight after a brief shower - even tighter / more uniform beading than RG 55!
SW range has never appealed to me tbh -Certain Zymol waxes are worthy of a look.
Just applied 2 coats of Valentines Concours wax - it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the 55 in terms of beading and durability.
Interesting that - what would you prefer in that price bracket?
I see that, just as sealants replaced wax as the current 'must have' LSP, now ceramic / quartz coatings have replaced sealants - and yet neither appeal to me at all.
Currently have RaceGlaze 55, but seriously considering a pot of RaceGlaze Black Label for the next car - especially if the beading and flake 'pop' can better 55's :

Also I need a new Foam Lance as I think the gauze in mine's clogged and I can't strip it apart...
Owned mine since last August. In terms of driveability, i'd say it's superior to my old 172 cup - but nowhere near as exciting to drive.
It's getting part ex'd for an R26 later in the year.
You've just made my mind up for me.
I suffered the same fate - had a full basket on CYC, left it for 2 days - went to order and i'd say 30% of the items were then OOS.
I just can't justify the cost of the wheel woolies tbh, maybe when I upgrade to the R26 ...... or just sell some of my waxes...
- Autosmart Tardis
- Autosmart Smart wheels
- Autosmart Ultramousse
- Valet Pro detailing wheel brush
- EZ Detail brush
- Sonus Der Wunder buffing cloths.
I'm still deciding between a Sonus washmitt and a DodoJuice yeti mitt, and also thinking of trying a sealant that will outperform the...
After having owned my 197 a matter of days, it seems to have developed a very dull but also rather obvious knock / thud noise which is apparent when going over uneven road surfaces / potholes and sometimes speedbumps and 'seems' most apparent at lower speeds.
I don't however think it's the...
