HEADPHONES

All these years I never thought of a brush Will give one a go when my gel arrives Don't think they'd be so good with a watery dressing like Autoglym instant tyre dressing

Agree Stan, the gun culture is SCARY. When the footage of large groups of armed militia taking over the streets was shown....I cringed in disbelief and terror. So glad it didn't kick off back then.

Use lengthways along the sidewall

Cons If used on fat SUV tyres in a sideways direction so the curve follows the contour of the tyre, the soft black foam delaminates from the yellow after just a few uses. Do not do this.

Seeing as I have noticed some discussion on this topic I thought I'd start a thread here for people to share their experiences. I bought a set of 5 off Amazon in 2018 https://www.amazon.co.uk/SODIAL-Professional-Automotive-Dressing-Applicator/dp/B076BCKWZB Gave 2 away. I'm on my second one. Even then it looks like it has plenty more use left. Below is the old next to a new one. Pros: Compared to the washing up sponges I was previously using they are less messy as they have a firm yellow foam handle. When used lengthways they're the perfect width for low profile tyres. The curved profile at the ends provides a nice sharp edge for detailed application where the tyre meets the rim. Less than a pound each.

+1 on Ricey He even recommended Buffalo products for a DIY job so I think you're on the right path

Looking forward to hearing and seeing your exploits with the alezan seats. You've done a top job on the black seats. I'm sure someone will post up regarding the dye and kit for alezan as I distinctly remember reading a couple of good alezan restoration threads this year.

Probably one of the fastest 350Zs on track?

Trump will never change.

Thought I'd post up a few from Seoul Tuner here where the Zed steals the limelight. Turn on subtitles for this one. It's got DOUBLE Brembos and increased steering angle....

£1.25 discount at the moment. Too good to miss........just ordered

I fou out way back that even using mineral free water to rinse away Dry and Shine, I'd get a bit of streaking left the next day when it dried naturally if I didn't towel dry after. So whenever I use it at night I use a blow dryer. Just finished a quick prewash, 2BM wash, rinse, Dry and Shine, rinse and blow dry. Tyres dressed with autoglym instant tyre dressing spray. Not the best, but tyres don't have to be bone dry to apply.

Sad to hear of your woes. Hope you get sorted soon.

Welcome to the OC That's a really impressive photo of you and your Zed

I've used Gtechniq C5 for years myself. I'm sure others may be able to recommend something newer and better/easier to use

Did you tell the detailer they are box fresh rims? I'd imagine the only prep they'd need is an IPA wipe down as there's no dirt, tar, fallout etc. Then wiping the ceramic coating on with a pad, gently wiping/buffing with a MF after, giving 24 hours to cure. Maybe have a go doing the barrels/backs first yourself and if it comes out nice then do the faces.

Those are works of art I'd have those in the lounge for a while......2 either side with a cushion between. I'd sit there resting my arms on em whilst watching TV caressing the Nismo'ness On a serious note, any thoughts on what you wanna coat them with while they're all fresh and "naked" before fitting them to your zed?

@Silverthorn If I owned your car, I'd be permanently be pumping this through the speakers

......and to think the 350z came with A CASSETTE TAPE PLAYER

Looks brand new

A friend just told me the theme tune is basically the theme tune to the TV program "The Gadget Show"

Wouldn't allow me inside the garage I'm afraid...... strict Covid-19 protocol For all I know they just welded some tips on and took £740 off me for the pleasure

I'm flattered, but I think THIS is one of the cleanest Zeds in the country...... Then there's members like ilogical and davey_83 who are in a next level of clean if you enjoy reading of detailing exploits. Many more that I haven't mentioned (not meaning to leave anyone out) that I can't remember off the top of my head

They're production is so sweet it you can't help but get a buzz watching their stuff .........I really need to go to sleep

One of the best 350z short films I've seen in a while. Definitely deserves headphones to appreciate the audio quality they put in. My favourite part is the sound editing at the roundabout........the exhaust and music coordinated with perfect timing
