That's not a bad quote.

I need to look soon as well. Doubt I'll be able to stay with Greenlight as I can't afford the lump sum and they dont do monthly. GUTTED!! They've easily been the best insurer ever. :(

Yeah, Greenlight are ace but couldn't beat Sky this year for me. I've chosen monthly payments! ;)

Greenlight and Sky are on the cards too and will be giving them a call too on Friday. As alzak said above I dont know how younger drivers with less exp and NCB get way cheaper quotes on higher performance cars. I understand the older owners though. That quote from admiral is with having my dad as 2nd driver too

@Lee I understand the Birmingham thing but my postcode/area is on the outskirts of the city compared to the B11 etc which I know is all High risk

Brilliant!!
Is that proper monthly or via a credit company that adds 50000% interest? That's what I got offered and my yearly quote would have been about 200 more including interest. In other words; is it just your quote / 12?

No it's a little bit more, alot less then every quote on got on comparison sites think. Think mine was £812 and first month was £150 and the other 9 @ £91.

So yeah it's bound to be more, they have to make some money on it but I couldn't afford to by it out right. And it was £400 cheaper than any other quote.

Might as well just wash, clay and seal it.
Wax is a natural product. Needs to breathe.
Try glaze and sealant, if you then want a deeper shine, try some wax

Just seen your ultimate shield done pics Benzy and it looks well done but i would have gone with a deep clean with claybar n detox shampoo then used your products and would defo look great. But good job neway.

@gmc1991, that job looks well too lovely car :D

Going to finish waxing mine on friday with AG HD wax ready for Inters :)
