Car Wax

Yaminchi · 26-11-2007, 13:42

I was speaking to a mate who works for ford and he said that they now offer a wax protection that costs about £300 that lasts for at least 3 years?

Anyone heard of this? thats alot of car washes £300

Liverpool-Lad · 26-11-2007, 14:36

Sounds a load of ********.

andy2407 · 26-11-2007, 14:40

Sounds something like Supaguard - many dealers offer it.
There are a few on here who have paid for it and like the results - and many others who would buy the kit off Ebay for £30 and apply it themselves!
Or just give your car a bit of TLC and do it yourself using the two-bucket method. Car washes really aren't a good idea.

Liverpool-Lad · 26-11-2007, 15:46

No 'wax' will ever last 3 years, its blatently a con. You could buy a whole host of good kit for half of that price.

Yaminchi · 26-11-2007, 16:22

yeh i thought it might be some sort of guard you can get and i did think........hmmmm too good to be true!

I'd be interested to find out more though and see if they guarantee it, then if it is a con, get someone to tlc my car for free haha.

I give my car the TLC it deserves :-)

gotta look at the options!

Had my car treated with Permagard last June (exterior - interior - engine bay, they also done the windows, this bit was free) £297.00.

12 Month Continuity Guarantee. Take it back next year & they do the full job again for half price with a further 12 MCG.

Check them out Permagard - A Paint Protection System and* Durable Alternative to traditional Cleaning or Valet Services

Well impressed, had the boat done too.

Yaminchi · 26-11-2007, 17:22

thats an impressive site, any chance you could do us some pictures of your car Wayne? quite interested to see :-)

cheers for the link

Wayne Kerr · 26-11-2007, 17:26

I'll have a butchers mate,
I've got some, the question is where !!!

Yaminchi · 26-11-2007, 17:28

Diamondbright
Permaguard
Superguard

its all the same stuff which as mentioned can be bought for pennies from ebay.
the key with all these things in good preparation otherwise they will all look crap

dstev2000 · 26-11-2007, 18:28

SWMBO had the Diamondbrite stuff on her new car and it was crap TBH.

A good washing and waxing regime is the way forward.

Think about it, 2men x 8hrs + the product + the consumables’ + the workshop + the rates/electric/water costs + advertising.

Best we all do what we all do best mate.

briskoda valeting services

Wayne Kerr · 26-11-2007, 21:29

At a very reasonable price?

Liverpool-Lad · 26-11-2007, 21:33

So it took 2 men, 8 hours to apply 2 products to a car?

Are they paraplegic midgets who apply it with their noses?

Yaminchi · 30-11-2007, 16:19

I read on some other forums that if its done properly its mint.
