Any good or bad experience of servicing with Inchcape?

Yeah right £105 for a thimble full 
Reminded me of something I saw a while ago for the modern gentleman !!

Read the Reviews and Q&A's

    

That brought tears (of laughter) to my eyes.  Brought tears of a different kind to the eyes of the users

I'm not even gonna ask why you were looking at this stuff, but presumably the reviews have made you reconsider

I was being sarcastic    It's good stuff though and my occasional treat.

Being the nosey git/Inquisitive type (delete as appropriate) I had to look to see said feminine product and came across a section of desperate justification type reviews from users and my twisted mind then thought of the above which had been brought to my attention a while ago on Bookface.
I still can't believe that Amazon have not removed them yet !!

Boots No7 is supposed to be excellent.

Getting my R from JCB Medway and don't know what the car wash set up is there but, even though my car is months away from delivery, my dealer has already been told I don't want it washing, just the stickers removing.

I've supplied them with the strongest TFR in the UK (if not the world) before now.

Would not put that on my car watered down 10 parts to 1! It would still be stronger than the stuff from the likes of Euros.

Good to know.

I only meant them peeling off the stickers, nothing more than that, no TFR applied..  I'll have to make that crystal clear, maybe I'll just do it all myself to avoid any misunderstanding.

Getting the valeters to prep the car or getting them not to touch it at all are pretty straight forward demands - getting them to do part of the job is risky - so yes, asking them not to do anything (apart from fix the number plates on) is best. I used JCB and they did just that (although making sure they remove the transport pucks is a good idea too - they left them in!)

[Booth11]

Yeah that's sound advice Mark.  Guess the level of dealer prep (or lack of in this case) depends how particular you are about your car.  I'm pretty fussy so best not to take any chances, as extreme as it may sound to others 

I've already got the transport pucks thing on my checklist, knowing their past incompetence on this issue.

I think its to some extent a colour dependent thing - most dealers will not make too bad a job of a white or silver car - but Pearl Black and Carbon Grey need specialist preparation...

I drove my car for three weeks untouched as I could not get in to the detailer any sooner - but it was worth it :-)

Agree, silver and white are more forgiving.  Dealer inflicted swirls might still be there though 

I'll be giving it the full detailing works myself when I get it.  Will want to get it sorted asap and probably have to book some leave to get it all done, otherwise I might be driving it around untouched like you.

I've had lots of black cars and to be fair in the cases where the dealer has prepped the car in the past, they've not done too bad a job.  But I've got much, much picker over time so now I'd rather they leave well alone.
