    Try one of the local print shops , the ones who print mugs and clothing etc , but check to see if they have a minimum order limit , my local one will print 100 a time but the prices are good , I paid £10 for 100 external laminated stickers measuring 100mm x 25mm

    only way is to rub them down with 1200 them 2000 then buff with an electric wheel and compound

    for long term you could then mask up and lacquer the lenses

    Like stated above , they do need coating for longer term protection , I've used Concept Vista on them before , Autosmart do one similar or those expensive lil bottles of Si02

    Seems a few are getting crazy renewal quotes recently , while we've been struggling they've still had their coin , only be loyal if they're being loyal , I went over to Road Runner / Aston Lark can't fault their service so far hopefully I will feel the same next year , they went out their way to help out .

    Looking for LWB Highline Panel van DSG with a tailgate. And a second LWB Highline PV for customers. And I'm looking for two SWB Highlines for myself. Prices and demand has gone silly

    Saw a Transit custom went for £4500 over at bca , only knows what extra VW's will go for then

    unless your policy is cheap shoparound then

    be careful the cover you get is comprehensive

    ie social domestic

    your own cars

    etc

    I'm not naming names, but theres some bloody big sharks out there

    Years ago I was with a company and relocated from Derby to Haywards Heath and the insurer decided to increase my premium by 80% , when renewal came I was surprised that a certain company halfed my original Derby premium with better cover , why I shop around now

    Hi - Anyone else had their insurance due while we've been in lockdown ? Currently with Staveley Head and the new owners One Sure have decided to double it and then add a bit extra to the premium . Since the end of March I have only driven my personal car for about 10 miles to take a parcel to the drop off bin and everything else is locked up gathering dust and bird poo :angry:

    You get customers checking the Auto Trader values , which on some cars are shocking compared to CAP and HPI , checked a value last week and couldn't believe how much lower the Auto Trader had dropped due to COVID , doesn't help when they put their value on the advert stating your price is too high when your price is inline with CAP etc .

    Some public just look for the lowest price they can find and don't look at the quality of the vehicle just the price and will have the cheek to tell you that your vehicle is say £350 more with a warranty , fully valeted , serviced and with history , instead they will go with the cheapest

    Too right even the local gin maker stopped gin production and now makes hand sanitiser . One local valeting procduct or should I say detailing , added hand sanitiser to their range recently and got slated for it , did ask if they cleaned their band wagon with it but declined to answer

    Mate, if fucking B&Q can open so can we.

    The only reason I'm not is I'm waiting on the auctions

    Fair point that , it's a shame they can't provide us all with a clear playing field of whats essential and whats not , to some a vehicle is essential to get to their essential job and to other having a clean vehicle is essential for their essential work , personally I think Boris needs a barber :D

    Find it strange they're not delivering new cars yet delivering used ones , personally I would have said they wouldn't have staff in to prepare the new cars , but that would also be the same as used cars unless all their stock is prepped and ready to go so the customer can drive away within the hour .

    I know it's a change of subject from the auctions , noticed a few hand carwash buinesses are operating with one claiming to had approval to do so from trading standards and even selling cars from the forcourt which they've been doing for a few weeks now
