I finally got my Megane back from Renault on Friday afternoon, following a failed starter motor. The final bill was £1300, but Renault UK paid the majority, so I was left with a bill of £250.
On Saturday, I took my car to get its tyres checked, and it turned out that my front pair had MASSIVE bulges on the inner tyre walls. So, I needed two new tyres. I decided to go for a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 3's, which cost me a whopping £175 each!
Whilst at Renault, it had also turned out that for whatever reason my exhaust wasn't on properly and so I was losing power (?). How right they were. Since having the car back, and on these new tyres, I am astounded by the performance. I always wondered why it received the reviews it did, and now I know!
So, with a bit of love for my car, I decided to give it a very quick winter protection details today.
Process was:
- Wheels hand washed with Optimum Car Shampoo and Dodo Captain Crevice
- Tyres and arches scrubbed with G101 @ 4:1
- Car washed with Optimum Car Shampoo
- Paintwork cleansed with Carlack 68 NSC
- 1 layer of Carlack LLS
- 3 layers of Werkstat Jett Trigger
- Pinnacle Black Onyx on the tyres
- Carlack LLS and 1 layer of Jett Trigger on the wheels
- Exhaust with Optimum Metal Polish
- Glass with Jett Trigger (it has Xtravue from Elite on it)
The aim is to get 10 layers of Jett on in total - should last quite well![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
