Afternoon all

 

Recently joined the forum. And inextricably linked to that i also recently ordered a new mk3 octavia vrs in rallye green. Got a little carried away with the options. From the tracking website it looks like it's getting built this week so starting to get excited. 

 

I've had a quick look on the forums already. Particularly interested in thoughts on getting my new car detailed - had a quote for £500, trying to weigh up whether it's an investment or not. 

 

In any case looking forward to taking part in the discussions.

500 big ones....wowser what were they going to do to it for that kind of money ? 

BTW,welcome to Briskoda,best car forum,best people on the web.

Hi there...

i know...£500 when you've just stumped up to buy a new car seems a little beyond me. They were going to use a wash, clay, machine polish followed by gtechniq to protect interior, windows, wheels. I believe it's a lot of work but not sure my budget will stretch to that. 

I'd shop around as £500 seems very high to me. My view is that £200 would be a more realistic amount to pay for a full external detail and internal protection. What were they going to put on the outside?

Edit:forgot to add post a thread in the styling and care section about the cost to see what the experienced detailers on here think

Thanks for the advice. I'll put a post on the styling section.

In terms of what they were going to use on the outside, aside from the gtechniq protection plan was to use a menzerna power Lock sealant followed by the color lock wax. Doesn't mean a lot to me tbh.
