This is my son's car..video shows the swirls removed.. VID_20210305_123522.mp4

....it took 7hrs for a full recon and a single pass with the DA, and as for costs .. hard to quantify, zaino say you use 1oz per car but the Lexus is big..but I'd say around £40-£60.. the turtle Wax done in one is £30 for 500ml. Zanio is not cheap but a little goes a long way...and can be used in full sun . Costs a bit to buy the products initially but they last

Lots of info here... A little goes a long way.. Prep is key with detailing.. https://www.zainostore.com/beginners.html

A quality detailer would be able to fill, wet sand and polish the repair..👍

just gave my son in laws is250 the once over.. full clay and decon, used turtle wax precision platelet done in 1 for the first time, easy on and off with good results, topped with Zaino Z2, Z6, Z8.( as it can be used in full sun) the leather interior had a refresh with zaino Leather conditioner..

To add to this my son in law bought a Lexus recently.. the garage gave 30 day warranty.. the wheel bearing is now humming.. he is within the 30 day period but the garage says a wheel bearing only needs replacement when the wheel will not rotate...he wants the dealer to pay the £580 for the repair as he loves the car,but they are only offering a refund, which is ok but since purchase he's had 4 brand new tyres fitted.. ...

We bought a Focus during lockdown in January.. from Trustford.. the car was at up north and was trailer transported down to Tamworth Trustford our nearest dealership.. we basically did a deal over the phone all pending viewing the car.. and drove it away within the hour..it had the 14 day return policy( money back guarantee) if we didn't like it.. we had no issues...alot of dealers are doing similar..

We have a similar fault.. it's pointing towards the amp but with it. Being intermittent.. fault findinging is a pain.. the amp getting cold , damp seems to be the issue.. there is a video in YouTube that says reroute the cables and place the amp in the boot... Or get another working amp and replace.. -
We'll today turned into a farce ... Picked up an amp from the scrappers yesterday.. having gone through 247spares.co.uk gave the details reg etc of the car and collected.. today the auto electrician arrives and the original amp is working.....so he cannot fault find.. on top of that the part from the scrappers is a different amp.. original amp p/n ends 150.. the one from the scrappers ends 110.. completely different connections.... One of those days... So back to the scrappers for a refund ...🤬🤬🤬

Well... The audio was hit n miss yesterday.. disconnected the amp ... gave it a blow dry with the hairdryer, disconnected the Battery and checked all fuses.. reconnect everything and it worked.. then didn't... Left it over night and today it's worked every time we have tried it...so see how long it lasts.. Has anyone done a mod to stop the amp from condensating/ cutting out.. I've seen in YouTube someone repositioning the amp in the boot above the plastic tray.. didn't know if anyone had insulated the area...? We don't know why it's started working again.. we removed and checked fuses. And disconnect the amp.. but we have not had the amp out . Tbh it's really clean and dry in the compartment.. the car has only 16k miles on the clock..

Well, we went for the car,( son in law's car) but found a fault on the way home, the audio is faulty, the garage have been informed and are willing to pay for the fix, as per my other thread the fault is no sound, disconnected the battery and refitted, the sound works,, but only for a short period..so looking at damp issues as per the web.. the car is one owner, flsh, with only 16k miles ( warranted / confirmed by main dealer)
