I'll get back to you on the stonechip protection - I don't think its ventureshield - because its on my home pc. 

Would appreciate it re the stone chip stuff.

I decided to let VW do my lifeshine to get my bag of goodies and I'm told if the stuff is not applied properly you don't get a good finish. Maybe thats just the banter. Plus when i get it I'm off driving!!!

What  you've been told about the Autoglym is true, but then you don't get a good finish if you don't wax a car properly.  So really your dealer is talking out of his rear-end - like most of them do - to earn some more money.  :grin:  I would say however, that if you don't feel up to it, then let the dealer do it.

Illyun, did a bit more stone chip protection research. Seems Autofend takes a bit of stick from the TVR boys but they rate Paint Shield. What do you think?

I wouldn't trust what they say - rightly so but i'd imagine they would be pretty peeved with most things at the moment! :wink:

Hi fellas, been down to my dealer this afternoon and there she is in  :drool: the compound awaiting her PDI. YT 07 NNO will hit the streets :grin: next week Thursday to be precise  I have finally decided to order the Autoglym protection ( it has a 10 year warranty + Scotchguard interior + the thingy pack) retail price £300. Also taken out the GAP package, 3 years cover up to full retail cost of car, if stolen written off etc, retail price £300. My dealer at Doncaster who has always been excellent, has done the whole thing for £300 so its on offer too good to refuse I think. Taken Insurance in for VEL, also have had the USB lead fitted so just 9 days left to blast off :smiley:, roll on :smug:.PS I dont mind the number plate at the moment cos me and the wife enjoy  :laugh: the Vicar of Dibley.

Hi Guys

With regard to Autoglym it is a rip of from the dealer and would not recomend it at all! There are far better products out there for your car for far less money! Autoglym is just a name!

Like you tho illyun I will be watching my dealer every step of the way with regards to delivery and how they prep the car. He has been told not wash it with a power washer and not to wash it with any sort of detergent! The swearl marks and light scratches dealers leave after simply washing you car is a joke and when any of my cars go in for a service I make sure they know not to wash it!

I to would be interested in Paint Protection, I had it on my exige when I got it and that was Amourfend, I have heard they are similer quality product out there for less.

Thanks

Nathan

Went drop the insurance off at the dealers. Went for a wander and there she was all clean and ready to go. I knew the car was in the country (last weeks) and ready for transport. So, it was like hold on............What a feeling. :smiley:

Oooh - the above looks like mine! I'd get the dealer to remove that cheeky sticker - not unless they are willing to pay you an annual fee for free advertisement that is!

As far as Autoglym life shine is concerned, £300 is a rip off - i managed to get the full lifeshine kit from e-bay for £39.99. Quite a mark up there by the dealer for a bit of elbow grease - apart from which you'll be missing out on that 'intimate'  :wink: period of knowing what you got during the application!
