HEADPHONES

Just finished my 2 weeks Christmas holidays. For 2 weeks I've been spending time with the family and driving around in a Mini Cooper and a Kia Sportage. Today I was back to work. Just me and the Zed commuting. You don't realise how nice it is to drive until you do without it for a couple of weeks. Dare I say I even welcomed and missed the characteristic gearknob vibrations that people slated on the Zed's release. Let's me know the car is alive

Wow.....looks like it's come off the Titanic! Where's the pic of the new one?????

You got skills

Wow.....that practically looks brand new inside and out. So sad seeing unloved ones with interiors scratched to buggery and seat bolsters looking as if they were used by a dog as a chew toy!

Love the colour that Azure gives big juicy beads in the first 2 pics.. Like Christmas tree baubles

Welcome back to the OC We never tire of pics

Not seen those zed rims before I don't think. Look really good as does the rest of the Zed. Welcome to the OC

Like bubble wrap^

Gotta love a bit of Nismo action. Welcome to the OC

......jolly good fellow......and so say all of us. Thanks for all the hard work

Welcome to the OC Finding your way here is one of the biggest advantages you could have when looking to buy and owning a zed.

Cheers Just ordered a clear one from the same supplier. May have to wait for nicer weather to apply it though.

I have a dehumidifier in the cellar. I use the water it collects to rinse the cars sometimes as it's mineral free. I try not to dry the car if I wash at night in case I miss a bit of dirt. Don't fancy rubbing dirt into the zed with a drying towel! When I say wash at night I don't mean in thee dark though I do use lighting.

That's one hell of a haul for the money! If i managed to bag that lot, my family would be recieving detailing samples for Christmas for many a year to come

There was a thread on AvForums about this. I remember years back, if I wanted to convert friends to a home AV system I'd play them the lobby scene from The Matrix. I think the lobby scene from John Wick 3 Parabellum now takes the top spot. Even playing the 2 scenes back to back on the phone via headphones shows so much slam and spine tingling echoes bouncing off the walls! CECtu-lJNS0 What's your most memorable cinema/film piece of 2019?

Oooooo..... forgot about wrap! Just googled it. Is it really as easy as this? If so I may try this next as C4 never lasts more than a year or so with my car parked facing the sun. Be good if you could recommend a particular film

If you don't have a machine polisher, for the sake of £7.50 these will save alot of elbow grease if you have a cordless drill to attach them to https://www.amazon.co.uk/WINOMO-Polishing-Sponge-Buffing-Adapter/dp/B071LFWJ3Y Just remember to mask the surroundings and don't go too hard or fast which can create best and damage.

Try whatever polishers you have in your arsenal first. From T-cut to Megs Metal Polish they all will remove oxidation. Then something like Gtechniq C4 to seal it for a year or 2.

Finding that pristine example must be like finding a needle in a haystack! Glad it found a good home.

Damn......you got good eyes .

Finished washing the Zed. I got some streaking when using the Dry and Shine on the bodywork without drying afterwards. So ever since I only use it on the wheels after washing. The wheels haven't had a thorough decon for 1&1/2 years. Just washed with car shampoo weekly with Optimum Optiseal every few weeks. 100% converted to this Turtlewax Dry and Shine now for rims. Especially in the wet winter. Even get nice beading inside the wheels/barrels

I discussed motor legal cover with eSure asking about their clause where they reserve the right to not to provide legal cover for incidents where they think they may lose. Basically they said that was correct. If they feel the case is difficult and they may lose......they won't provide any legal assistance.

What a way to return to the OC....... with a 370z Nismo! Look forward to hearing about your exploits
