The Curse of Amazon.

Post by Pabby1980 » Sun May 23, 2021 4:28 pm

I only went on Amazon to buy some decent car wax to get the zed looking good for when she gets taxed on 1st June, and 2 weeks later I'm at least £300 worse off.

I managed to go down some detailing rabbit hole and convinced myself I needed everything the reviews were suggesting. Never even knew there was such a thing as detailing clay until last week! Gotta have some of that! :headbang:

I think lockdown has sent me a bit loopy, I don't even like cleaning the car! :rofl:

Damn you're good Amazon! Touché.

I've just renewed the insurance on the Z and I used one of the comparison sites to get going, they gave me a £20 Halfords voucher. Halfords have a 3 for 2 offer on Autoglym products, using the voucher I got £72's worth of Autogylm products for £29.99 + free delivery :thumbsup:

You do know for the $$$ spent you probably could have paid someone to detail it for you? I mean you did say you don't like to clean? But then again were would the satisfaction be for you if you did not clean it yourself.

Looks like you just got yourself a new hobby! I probably spend more time cleaning the Z than I do driving it...
There's plenty of help on Youtube but a small piece of advice - dont park under trees.
