  1. I use that purple Autofinesse Tripple too. Here's a 50:50 against my swirled boot It's more a filler than correction but still good stuff.
  2. A hard wax may be old fashioned, but there's something special and intimate in applying one. Looking nice.
  3. I find using Flickr the easiest for uploading pics onto our OC. Once I've uploaded the pics from phone to Flickr, I go to Flickr. Click my image Click shared. Click copy URL Paste the link into my thread and it's done. All from my android phone. Other forums like detailing world are a pain as I need to be on a laptop to copy in Flickr images. But this OC is so user friendly. THANKS ADMIN
  4. I have had this for years to reset the occasional EML when my O2 sensors throw a wobbler every year or two Around a tenner on eBay. Not really had to test it for other codes. It was recommended to me by another forum member years ago who had a similar issue.
  5. I can foresee many more respraying and paint projects on your threads now you've had such success with this
  6. C1/4/5 are all the same so if there is an offer, I'll buy any of the 3. I occasionally use the C4 on the plastics that the wing mirrors attach to. Also got it on my headlights after correcting them last week.
  7. Found some old pics of a 300zx I saw a few years ago.
  8. Welcome to the OC Hope your problems are small ones. We need pics of new members cars though
  9. I always make sure I have a supply of Gtechniq C4/C1/C5. Never been brave enough to do the whole car but do the wheels yearly along with plastic trims and headlights. Your rims are so glossy I thought for a moment they had diamond cut faces!
  10. I'm a fan of Auto Finesse Tripple too. Used it with a rotary pad on a cordless drill here....
  11. My friend fell for something similar years back. Bought a limited edition light sabre on eBay for a bargain £25. Arrived and it was only 2 inches long
  12. Nah......just needs lowering and spacers
  13. A friend has had a go with some of this
  14. My zed has been left standing for 4 hours now, so nipped out to check oil level. On first removing the dipstick I get similar. Reverse side Main side First wiped and redipped. Pulled out 4-5 inches then held the dipstick by handle with one hand and 4-5 inches lower down with the other for a steadier withdrawal Reverse side Main side So sometimes the level is easier to read on the reverse side, sometimes the main side. Definitely improvement as you wipe excess away and repeat. Also I think my oil was still warm after 4 hours. This warm weather probably doesn't help to reduce oil temps after just a few hours. Road level is vital too. My brother had a brand new car Told him the importance of regularly checking oil levels. He was shocked it was at min. Topped up with 1 litre. Following day checks the oil....... it's wayyyyy over. He's however parked on the other side of the street and tells me it's on an incline Siphoned out 1 litre and checked on a level surface at his work and discovered all was well even before he started messing with oil at max from the factory
  15. I prefer the look of your current 370z with the silver wheels and minus the GT edition decals. I can see why you were smitten by the Temper Orange......it is a lovely looking Zed
  16. Wow......I can see what you mean about alot of oil smearing your dipstick. It does appear that you're half way between min and max there. So in 3 months you may have lost the 500ml from the max to midway level, plus the 300ml you added as a top up. What mileage have you done since your oil change? Also is it an old DE or rev up etc?
  17. Nice job there. Good to see another well cared for Zed. The blacked out center on the front lip makes it look so much more aggressive than standard
  18. Did you take the top film off? Like a plum I applied my clear film and it looked all cloudy/ripply so I took it straight off. Later got told it was because of the top protective layer that should be removed at the end
  19. Really hated the tyre sidewalls that originally came with our Mini. Lots of textured lines making the application of tyre dressing a really unsatisfying chore. The fact they are 65 profile made it even worse. Loving the smoothness of those Yokohama sidewalls above
  20. Engine bay clean with MF towels and APC. Dressed with Autoglym rubber and vinyl dressing. Only about 90% clean with today but improvement non the less.
  21. Did another touchless wash today using the same method as before. Seeing how long a touchless little but often approach can work in this dry dusty weather. Surface still looks and feels the same after.
  22. You mean there was a top film to remove What a plum That'll teach me to just watch a couple of YouTube videos and think I don't need to ask specifics
  23. Never seen vents so perfectly executed. You sir are a Don. And your zed is just evil
  24. If MacGyver or The A-Team ever needed a base....... it'd be The Zed Shed. Mad skills at work there
