just ordered a trophy :-)

[Chris G.]

Getting it at the beginning of Sept



Is the paint-interior protection thing Renault were trying to sell me worth it??

Cheers

Chris

probably not really matey, just get yourself some good wax and polish and do it yourself!

im sure a cleaning guru on here can guide you wisely!

Nice one Chris, you wont regret it.

Ive never bothered, in fact Ive never been offered it.

Gotta say the interior treatment seems worth it. but the exterior stuff is w**k, you may as well get some decent wax (pm 182_blue or brun for advice) and do it yourself

 

[Lee]

Just spend a few hours on it with some good wax: http://www.leemather.plus.com/images/ZymolTrophy/Link

Bleedin eck Lee, looks nice. What steps did you take in getting it looking like that? And whats the maintenance like?

 

[Lee]

That was washed with Zymol clear, dried with a water magnet, then I used Zymol HD Cleanse and finally I applied the Zymol Titanium wax.

Dont know about the maintenance to be honest. Ill probably just keep topping it up every couple of months.

Nice one on the order another Trophy on CS.

When I ordered my 182, they would not do the interior protection without the exterior. The interior is worth getting done. You can sometimes pick the bits up on ebay to D.I.Y. Just get a good sealant to sort the paintwork, Autoglym Extra Gloss or Meguiars 21 will work a treat.

 

[benhwolves]

i have to say that autoglym extra gloss is bloody good stuff

 

[Chris G.]

Thanks for all the replys

ull enjoy the trophy i picked mine up 2 weeks ago! hardly been out of it. what number are u gettin? iv got 088/500

 

[Chris G.]

Not sure of the number yet



probs 501/1000

 

[Richy123]

Was it ordered on F&F though or is it a normal purchase. I suspect the reluntance to give discounts on these cars is because the majority of them have been purchased on F&F. I bet 6 months down the line there will be loads of them up for sale by employees looking to make a tidy profit.

 

[Chris G.]

Just a normal purchase got £1500 off list price

Nice one Chris. Ill be getting Supagard with mine for sure. My current CLio had it inside and out and its saved so much time and effort keeping it clean, especially if you use the Supagard aftercare products.

Im still not sure whether its worth getting one over my cup packed 182.

When my local dealer gets one in, I will have to go for a test drive I think.

 

[Tom]

Buy my numberplate and get it on for when you get it!

Good choice Chris. A great drivers car.

 

[Nik]

Excellent choice Chris

 

[Mondial172]

You could do that treatment yourself for £30

 

[andrew_172]

Congratulations

I had the Supaguard on a previous car. It is good but it depends how much they are charging you - I had a big discount on it.
I think it is more than just simply wax though isnt it? Certainly seemed to keep the car cleaner for longer than just waxing and it stops stuff like tar sticking so much. The alloy wheel stuff was especially good at stopping brake dust getting stuck on.

As Adamf says though you can buy the kit usually and do it yourself.
