I use 3M Finesse - it to prepare the paintwork, Greased Lightning Showroom shine to polish and Harley Wax to finish.

Just heard the sad news today about Caralot. I wish Jamie, Nick & staff all the very best for the future.

No way I would let a potential customer do this. If the car was not displaying the engine warning light in the first place then there is very little the obd scanner would show up anyway. The problem is: people buy cheap scanners off the likes of eBay and have no idea how to use them or what the actual fault codes mean! I would be of the opinion a customer who comes armed with a fault code reader is going to be nothing but trouble further down the line! If they want a diagnostic report on the car then all they have to do is ask the dealer to provide one.

When an auction sells a car to a private buyer they have effectively carried out the same deal as a car dealer, so I see no reason why they should be exempt from standing over any problems that should arise. If a dealer has to abide by the sale of goods act then surely it's only fair that an auction house that retails a car to a private seller should be bound by the same law.
