Not me.
I spoke with Dave about this and told him I would not be taking advantage of his situation.
It is bad enough one Supplier closing down in this country without driving what is left out of business.
If many, many people jumped on the bandwagon and ordered in the region of €10k worth of products,
He would have to let them go for €6.5k
How do you think this would affect his business?
Not for me I am afraid,
Totally uncalled for.
Utter nonsense. If a company makes a claim like that they should be capable and prepared to back it up. The betting on the game was Ireland minus 6 goals so it wasn't that much of a stretch to expect 7 goals, the talk all week was of breaking the 8 goal record....
That aside I'm sure Dave won't be going out of business, as a result, not making much money for sure but getting plenty extra customers and some very positive publicity. I personally wouldn't have seen it at all only that it was actually a sponsored post on Facebook. So to expect people not to take it up is rubbish.
I sent my own payment as a gift as to offset a tiny bit of the fees.
All in all I say 100% fair play, I sell detailing products myself but any extra bits I need for personal use in the future I will order from Dave, so no doubt it will have worked out better for himself in the long run.0 -

So you're telling me that you have never taken advantage of any offer?It didnt take much persuasion to get people to jump on the gravy train either did it?
Having only a day to put in an order generally makes you do it there and then without much persuasion
I've spent a LOT of money on stuff from Dave over the years but I didn't take advantage of this offer myself.0 -

Pipe down lads!
Should really have capped it at a certain %, but I didnt and couldnt go back on the offer that I said I'd do. Would have been worse for the business if I did; I reckon!
Thought Ireland would have scored 4, maybe 5....and that would have been ideal for us, to be at break even point!!
Yes, we lost out quite a bit on the offer....but sure look, it has gotten a few people taking, which hopefully will mean good exposure and as a result, we'll see the benefit down the line. It's just hard to see that now. One or two ranges that we were hoping to add, will have to wait a while longer, and will take us a bit of time to get stock levels back to ideal levels, so that we're no having Out of Stock issues!
We'll get through it though!
Hope everyone enjoys working on their cars, and post a few pictures when your done!

Oh yes I did indeed.
BUT
there is a difference in getting 5%, 10% or even 15% off with a big company.
But in fairness taking 35% off a small company trying to get by is similar to doing an Enda Kenny on the people of Ireland.MetzgerMeister wrote: »

Fair play to you for not jumping on it.
I respect you for that.0 -

Dont want to dwell on the matter, but I look at it this way.....if the folk who bought stuff, be it new or previous customers, were happy with the service, and they return to buy a few more bits, then eventually, it will have paid off.
Vectra was not the only one to contact me, voicing similar sentiments - all of whom were told to take advantage of the offer, but still declined. Perhaps personal experience in owning their own business came into play, or whatever, but either way, they'll all be looked after in some way down the line, when they do eventually order something....good Karma, and all that!

Throw out the sponge 1st;)
We don't like them on here
You need really a jet washer so start there if possible then some cleaning gear.
there are some great write ups on here and look up detailingshed.ie for some things you will need.
The car will need to be cleaned, de tarred, de ironed, clayed, washed again using 2 bucket method, Micro fibre mitt and cloths as less likely to scratch.
Need polish/wax and if unsure ask curran or vectra or metz for best tips. they are good at what they do.
Happy detailing and plenty of before during and after pics.0 -

Thanks, we already have a power washer alright that we use on the cars and Microfibres are top of my list, DetailingShed the best place for sorting everything?0 -

Since the recent car you picked up was an E39, Im surprised you didnt see this thread!
Any further questions, give me a shout! 0 -
You should have been informed that owning a black car means that you will never keep it looking clean Foxhole!! You can wash all you like but in the winter, dirt will spray up instantaneously and during the summer it will get covered in dust. I'd say if some of you detailing boys seen the state of the outside of my cars now, especially the focus, ye'd get heart failure 0
