What did you and your MK2 do today?

[saveoursouls]

Went to go for the big clean and a bit of 1 on 1 time but I pick the day when the heavens open... So sorted out my shelf in the garage which is growing bit by bit.
Also realised I have 40 microfiber cloths, 10 applicator pads and 4 towels haha is that normal?

Going from 105 to around 145, that’s £200 extra with mainstream insurers, insurance is up for renewal at the minute. Had a look at Adrian Flux but reviews aren’t good and I don’t trust them. Tried Chris Knott I think its called, you need to have a years experience under your belt with a car of the same BHP or higher.

Sky insurance, reviews again aren’t good. Esure is coming out at the best price from the main stream insurers.

When I was on stage 1 with my mark 3 I found Esure very good and competitive, the only warning I would give you is you have to pay for every change you make, so if you are contemplating more work add it in now so you don't get hit with the change fees.

They were happy to insure car at stage one but got nervous when I started with all the changes with stage 3, not with the power (Chris Knott have a limit on BHP over stock) but because of all the extra bits I was adding.

I have to say so far been very happy with Adrian Flux, very good price for 450 bhp when nobody else was interested and they are not the insurance company just the agent. One other thing (which I am still thinking about) your car is legal but you are still only insured for the stock car value not for the value of replacing all the work you have dont to it, you have to pay extra for that.]

Anyway love the car and the map will bring you much happiness.

I am sure there is a name for that sort of habbit (OCD I think (over compensating detailer)) very impressive I will bring my car over later on.

All sound advice, I’m thinking ahead with the remap, my insurance renews on the 3rd of August but getting the remap done on the 8th of sept, may as well add the remap to the insurance so that I don’t have to pay for the change. I’ve added cosmetic paint as I’ve already done some and have more to do, beyond that I’m not planning anything for a while.

Hopefully you will give us a try. Unfortunately insurers who have large numbers of policyholders will always have a small percentage of customers who are unhappy for some reason.

I will warn you I don't drink tea or coffee so I wouldn't expect any decent drinks apart from water haha my other halfs Fiesta took me 6 hours for an external clean... How much time you got?

Cheers

I'm mildly OCD to say the least, also with that cider you won't be driving home after haha unless i'm a delivery service now as well as cleaning haha I think i'd really enjoy cleaning cars I just don't think my body would like it...

The other half said oooo shiny and that was pretty much it, we then got some rain with added sand so everything was a waste lol

Cheers

Hi Dan,

My problem is with the fact that Adrian Flux are simply a broker, I’d rather know as to who’s covering me in the event of an accident. I have heard numerous stories of the problems faced once having an accident and having gone through Adrian Flux as a broker.

Although true that you can always find negative comments, Adrian Flux seems to stand out as having gained plenty.

What do you make of the meguires over autoglym wax? I’m using some triple wax dismond wax at the moment and it’s ok but there’s better out there.

A mate of mine once took 28 hours detailing an Ibiza I once owned . He then took 7 hours just clay barring the front wing of his Fabia VRS. He’s very OCD!!

I need some applicator pads for my collection. I don’t have enough. Saying that some Microfibres wouldn’t go amiss too.

I have only used the Meguires Wax so far and it did pretty good (left some nice water beading), looking at getting some Collinite as that seems to do the trick but may take a little more work as it's a paste.

That's insane! You should order some cloths and pads now in case you forget haha

Ouch, I presume you are young. I am paying 30% less (granted me as the only driver) and I went from stage 1 to 3 with all the hardware that goes with it.

Try some Adams Buttery Wax. Awesome stuff imo. Easy to apply and great beading.

Think I just might just order some pads and microfibres. lol

I dunno, depends on what you consider young. 31 with 9 years no claims.

I'm on to my second year with Adrian Flux, got all my mods insured. Filter, exhaust, map, single mass, suspension, polybushes, anti roll bars etc and I've been happy so far. Also can get flexi Drive if over 25 so fully comp to drive your mates cars etc up to value if around £20k I'm sure.

I would defo give them a chance.
