[tonyd106]

I get that when I've not driven it very hard all week and then I don't drive it over the weekend. Quick blast and it's all fine again.

My blowing is my fault, I caught the exhaust on a speed bump and it made a hole.

 

[tonyd106]

Haha. Sorry mate had to be done.

 

[turner24]

[Oakley12]

Can some one give me the postcode to the start of the black mountains please

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Had a look on the 24th run, the postcode he put down was
CF48 1HY, Just incase anyone else was wondering

 

[rollerdan]

Anyone playing up the black today

 

[Oakley12]

Didn't use that postcode but found it! Seen a LY 182 up there!

I wasn't up for driving fast as my cousin was in the car and she would of strung me up haha.

 

[Oakley12]

Here's my terribly poor attempts at photo's up the black mountains. It was freezing and snowing so just out quick for these two lol.





sorry for the awfully sh*t pics haha.

 

[tonyd106]

How did you find the clio up there?

 

[Oakley12]

I didn't really boot it T as it was snowing. A little bit further down I was pushing her on the slightly straight roads but tbf I've never drove up there before! Being on next week

 

[Oakley12]

Anybody got a machine/rotary polisher I can lend on or before Friday please?

I don't know the difference so basically my first time in using one haha.

 

[turner24]

Leave it to the pros i say, but i may just be lazy lol south wales car care

 

[Oakley12]

Would rather do it myself tbh, and much cheaper! I Want to get into it tbf, then possibly do it on the side for some extra wonga

 

[turner24]

Im to lazy ha! Lots of people around newport do it tho mate. I dont no any1 with 1 to lend tho soz

 

[Oakley12]

Yeah I know! And no problem fella! I'm sure someone will have 1 I can lend

 

[rollerdan]

I got one but your a bit far mate

 

[SharkyUK]

I quite enjoying giving the Trophy a 'posh wash' but take it to James at Ti22 (Newport) for when it needs a professional's touch.

 

[Oakley12]

How much does he charge?

 

[SharkyUK]

How much does he charge?

Depends on what you want doing, mate. A rough cost for swirl removal would be around £250-£350 quid and he'll need the car for a day. For full on paint correction and top-quality finish, polish and waxing you're looking at probably around the £700 these days for a Clio (and it will take a couple of days or so). Not cheap but worth it (if you want a stunning finish to the paintwork and have money to do it). Remember that you're paying for a full-on professional job here (James is a well-respected detailer) so it won't be as cheap as your 'mate down the road'...

 

[Matt W]

From the results i've seen, it's well worth it!

700?thats more than my Clio's worth :lolup:

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

how f**king much?!
I'd lick your car clean for £700.

 

[Matt W]

Mine will be taken to Ti22 when it starts looking a bit shabby!

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

If I cba to detail my car and got some spare change, I'll be going to my mates place called Flat Out Valeting. Decent price to

 

[JDA92]

700? it would be cheaper for me to spray the car then take it to flat out valeting for a full clean! haha

 

[Scott™]

f**k paying someone to clean your car. Lazy b******s.

 

[Oakley12]

I think I'd rather clean it myself.

I can't believe no-ones got a polisher I can lend . There could well possibly be beer tokens in it for you .

 

[gez 172]

I love detailing my cars, makes you appreciate your car more by doing it all yourself and seeing the results.

I can spend a whole weekend cleaning mine, I quite enjoy it in the summer times when the car stays cleaner.

 

[rollerdan]

i love cleaning my car its cool when you see the results and it looks good its worth the time and effort still getting used to the rotary polisher though need to buy some decent products to get full results.

[JDA92]

I need a decent polisher, can anyone recommend one was looking at the meguires one but there is better and cheaper out there...

 

[SharkyUK]

From the results i've seen, it's well worth it!

Definitely, Matt.

how f**king much?!

I went for a full correction and detail... and the car still looked immaculate several months afterwards...

Putting the T into TLC (Trophy Loving Care)

 

[tonyd106]

Sharky that looks amazing, but 700 is a bit extreme for a clean car lol.

Oakley I told you yesterday, if you pop up you can use mine.
