Thanks - not sure how true that is as the Land Rover website was updated with the new discovery service plan much before the cars were delivered to customers. At the moment no mention of this for the Velar:mge.92 said:
Considering the first batch of cars are not supposed to be delivered closer to September and with all the other issues going on with roof rails and not enough stock of wheels I wouldn't be surprised if they are delayed in releasing maintenance information. I would suspect that its about the same price as the F-Pace which the Velar is based on. Also the Discovery has been delivered and is already in owners hands and at dealerships.VelarMan said:

my car is actually at the dealers now but I can't pick it up until I have my valeter apply Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ceramic Coating and EXO and he is currently holidaying somewhere! So in effect I have already won LOL!VelarMan said:mth75 said:@Velarman I would like to beat you to it Velarman
... look at this post from 10 july ... ... i'm waiting till next Friday too, it just @%@@I would re-think that BLAM - a single service can cost up to £550 and you get free oil and AD Blue top ups too - in between services - I think the plan is great! Further more if there is one my dealer has promised to throw it in to the deal for freeBLAM said:
Aha! it was your post that I sent to my Dealer Principal as a reference in which he sent me the circular from JLR about the vista error in cars being called over when they should not have! I think you have been lucky but your dealer must have got a good bollocking from head office!mth75 said:VelarMan said:mth75 said:@Velarman I would like to beat you to it Velarman

I just googled the Gtechniq crystal serum and now considering having that done on my car as well... I take it you've had it on previous cars and it's worth the money?VelarMan said:mth75 said:@Velarman I would like to beat you to it Velarman
The Gtechniq stuff (Crystal Serum) is by far the best product on the market to help reduce swirls but only if the car is then maintained to a good standard using the 2 bucket wash method with the correct techniques. If the car is going to end up in your local car wash run by Eastern Europeans etc then there is no point spending the cash on a ceramic coat as the stuff they use in those car washes are so lethal and strong they will rip off the coating within 4-5 washesVelarSam said:I just googled the Gtechniq crystal serum and now considering having that done on my car as well...

My velar will be narvik black all over so whatever I can do to prevent those swirl marks...
Any other treatments you would all recommend? Wrapping?
If you intend going down this route you MUST tell your dealer not to WASH your car and if all the protective packaging on the sills etc can stay on that is even better! If they wash the car your price for the ceramic coat will increase substantially as the detailer will need to carry out paint correction and removal of swirls that the dealer will put in when they wash the car. Ceramic coat can't be applied unless the paint work is 100% swirl free.VelarSam said:
