What’s everyone’s experience here? Is there a hard and fast policy across different dealerships?
My experience
BYD. Accompanied. Described as policy. Decent length test.
Tesla. Go yourself. Easy.
Geely. Go yourself.
Zeekr. 15 minutes on a couple of streets. Felt like my first learner drive. Half of that 15 was the salesperson driving.
Deck maintenance advice - oil vs water-based coating / sanding?
I have a timber deck that was new about 4 years ago. It was oiled about 1 year ago, but I am not completely sure what was used originally. It may have been oil, or possibly some kind of water-based Intergrain-type finish.
It is now looking pretty grey/weathered in places, with some reddish areas still showing through. The timber seems structurally fine, just faded and worn.
Questions:
I’d prefer to oil if I can.
Mainly trying to avoid making it patchy or creating a much bigger job than necessary.
Photos attached.
Currently in a fixed-term corporate/professional role and curious how these usually play out in practice.
When do companies typically decide whether to:
renew, convert to perm or let the contract end?
In reality, when do you normally start getting signals either way? Months out or right near the end?
