Vik54 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 What did you do on your lunch hour today? I was stopping off to see Paul at Ultimateshine to get report and quote on the gritter damage and Saffy was in dire need of a bath So Paul gave her a quick once (thrice) over - I love it when she's shineeee This morning sitting with her equally dirty neighbour quick wheel wash, degrease and warm rinse snowy followed by a quick two bucket wash and another snow foam Tadaaaaa - isn't she gorg This quick wash meant we could take proper pics of the damage caused by the gritter - I'll maybe post them at a later date once the Council insurers have seen them For those of you in Scotland here's Pauls website http://www.theultimateshine.com/ can well recommend Quote

Jay Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Vik you lazy sod..... get out there and wash your car yourself Quote
Vik54 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 Vik you lazy sod..... get out there and wash your car yourself Says he with a wee bit of vinyl to wipe and who used to use the Polish lads down the road I had a choice beween two buckets and a cold hose or an hour stood under cover watching Saffy have a nice gentle warm bath - I think I made the right choice Quote
glrnet Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Saffy would have been pleased too Vik you lazy sod..... get out there and wash your car yourself Says he with a wee bit of vinyl to wipe and who used to use the Polish lads down the road I had a choice beween two buckets and a cold hose or an hour stood under cover watching Saffy have a nice gentle warm bath - I think I made the right choice Quote

Matt vinyl..... especially in bright orange is a nightmare to keep clean Who used the polish lads???????????? No me.... I may have used the car wash a few times but I got right into my detailing... just ask stew..... he is the baha that got me into it Quote
Vik54 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 Jayzed before you had the wrap you laughed at my detailing habit you said you just took it to the car wash and gave them a mitt to use rather than a sponge Martin - I'll ask him Quote
Jay Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Oh here that was wayyyy before I got into detailing. I have a full box of detailing stuff out in the garage that I cant use because of my wrap Quote
Cragus Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Whats the outcome likely to be Vik? Think council will shell out for a full detail? Quote
Vik54 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Whats the outcome likely to be Vik? Think council will shell out for a full detail? I'm not going to discuss any negotiations publicly Craig But put it this way as far as I'm concerned a professional correction detail is the bare minimum I am prepared to accept. Quote
bronzee Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 What a mucky puppy. Must have gone so much faster with all that clean shiny less drag co-efficency. Quote
Vik54 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 What a mucky puppy. Must have gone so much faster with all that clean shiny less drag co-efficency.

shieldsie Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 This may be a stupid question is he snow foaming using a pump spray bottle, and not a foaming lance? Quote
ioneabee Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I got hit by a load of grit from a wagon probably doing in the region of 50pmh in the opposite direction to me a couple of years ago - when I went to the Local Authority to make a claim - they just turned it down flat and basically said thats just tough luck - normal wear and tear etc, we have to grit the road etc.....GO AWAY filled in the paint holes myself and sold the car but if it ever happens again - I'll take 'em to the small claims court Quote

ioneabee Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 hmm - I work for LA too and know the position you find your self in Did they agree to the detailing - I would doubt it !! on a 2nd point about cars parked on the side of the road - see my pics here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45571 luckily my next door neighbour saw it happen - 'coz the teenager who did it then drove off !!
