Supagard not protecting

I now have an appointment with a Lexus body shop to see if it can be polished out, or have to have the whole bonnet re-sprayed and the wings to blended in. Supagard to pick up the bill. Next car £500 from a scrapyard then I don’t have to care about the car or the service I get (Good service from Supagard). 

I know what you mean about £500 car. Quite tempting to just buy an "old" car that you don't have to worry about.

Dammit, I just remembered I schedule my climate to warm my car up at 5.30am the other morning when it was cold for a day. 🤣

Just schedule a transfer to warmer location where the temperature is guaranteed to be over 25 every day. But bird**** can be from parrots eating the dates from the palms - got to avoid parking under them ;)!

Took the car to a Lexus body shop this morning and thankfully they have been able to polish out the last of the marks. Now I will wait and see how long the salesman takes to reply to my emails. Let’s hope he remembers what I told him about lack of service from other car dealerships and why I don’t now drive an Audi or jag. Anyway the car now looks as good as a four month old car so I am very happy.

I know it’s been mentioned a few times, Kevin, but now might be a good time to consider having the car professionally detailed with a good quality ceramic finish.

Mine was treated with Modesta products only three years ago, but I already feel it was a shrewd investment.

Thank you, but I think it’s a bit late for that. I should have done it when new.

Well, I didn’t Kevin!

I had my IS250 Detailed when it was about six years old.  Unless I am mistaken, your Lexus is rather newer than that.

Mind you, few Detailers are also bodywork repair specialists as well.  So they need to start with a reasonable finish!  But the results in terms of appearance and protection are far superior to anything the likes of Supagard can offer.

Now I’ve always thought that there a fewer easier things in Life than spending someone else’s money.  I’d never heard of detailing until I started looking for things to do to the car while we were all confined indoors due to the Covid lockdowns.

In case it might be helpful, here’s a link to my Detailer.  I expect he’s typical so might give you a better idea of the results to expect.
