Thanking you. Such a shame C1 went down the C1+SiloSeal route.

As per Gally's post, but also, did you see the DW thread about ClioSport? Not a case of one being bitter, but talk about holier than thou (and also being wrong).

No dramas lad.

Neither am I mate, I'm afraid. But it is rectifiable. If it was mine, having tried the above, wet sanding and DA/rotary follow up would be my move.

It's not going to pick away without taking clearcoat with it, Scottie, unfortunately.

Heat is unlikely to affect it as most "superglues" are thermically bonding substances, are they not?

No I'm not sure that it would but would always be my first port of call (not too aggressive and chemical cleaner that's safe on paintwork). Next step is a more harsh attack unfortunately, but without knowing your detailing background, Clart, I'd be concerned to suggested anything further. As...

Failing that, worth dropping by Russ@MidlandsCarCare as he's a great bloke and can advise further.

I'd be looking at Tardis and IronX initially. If that doesn't shift it and you're a confident detailer, the next step would be wet sanding with >2000 with a block to ensure you're sanding with a flat face/surface to minimise surrounding damage, followed up by a finishing polish like Menz 85.

Nice write up me ol' mucker. James will be pleased :)

Yep, as sleeperish as you like. I miss Norms, he was quality (apart from some of his outbursts!).

Lol. Do you know that Kev or is your new year resolution to bust chops, janitor style?!

Surely miles per year, commuting, worth of car, number of claims that company/broker have had against a particular make/model...

Out of interest Ollie (as my father is with them with several cars), what do you feel this affects? Granted my parents are a single case in tens of thousands no doubt, but with two accidents in their time with Admiral, they have been superb...? Not a gripe, just interested to hear your views.

Call me an old school barsteward but I still like using my 7424.

Surely that must be a renewal, so how could they charge for a cancellation? Unless you missed the date and it rolled over...?

Thanks Ollie, picked up, looks like my initial email on Saturday went into spam. Which I fully understand as mentioned via PM. Issue closed - thanks to Ollie (and Connie) my opinion of Sky has been lifted out of the gutter.

There are only a handful of professionals that should know better that still do this. And don't too kindly to Kevin pointing this out, eh lad ;)

That video is from a fair few years ago, so IronX and Tardis were not on the scene from my recollection.

FLOL. I like Marc more than most detailers, but I've just imagined "Bond, James Bond" in this accent;

James Bond works for Heavenly Details? No wonder the prices are high.

Not many as he supports Manchester City. We are talking about Timothy Dalton, roight?

Something to do with more damage getting it out of the security gates. It's the same as parking in a locked garage. Madness.

Lol Kev, not sure mate. Perhaps Germany!! As did I chap. I even asked about it before giving the go ahead and the bloke mentioned a charge of circa £15-25. I understand and appreciate there has to be an admin charge. The industry I'm in we'd also charge for cancellation. But the percentage...

Funny how your opinions of a company can change in 24hrs. £50 charge to cancel the policy (10 days before cover is due to start) due to unforeseen circumstances (potential move abroad). And 4-6 weeks for a refund. Shocking. But thanks to Connie for pushing the refund down to a week.

It's been covered above already, but agreed value would remove this issue surely!

Agreeded. I won't even use them on the wheels or glass. Demoted to tyre and arch dryers.

Thanks Ollie. Funny old world, insurance. We've chatted a few times on here about the sky high (sorry) quotes from you guys due to SK9 postcode. This year, thought I'd try you guys again, give you the BOD and sure enough, a winner!

Not to argue with you, Davo, but there will be marring from using any drying implement. Even the very best towels leave marks however careful you are. Only touchless drying (0PPM water and a blower) leaves no marks.
