https://www.amazon.co.uk/WINOMO-Polishing-Sponge-Buffing-Adapter/dp/B071LFWJ3Y Bought from here.

L Got these for £6 from Amazon. Used them today on my headlights. Picked the stiffest orange pad, stuck it on the cordless drill with the attachments supplied. Used some medium cut Menzera polish. Didn't tape up for a 50:50 as it was getting dark and I needed to press on but you can see where the haze is untouched on the right side The 3 inch pads are easy to use for a small job like this. The cordless drill isn't that fast so the pad is easy to control and doesn't run away. A pro machine and pads would probably be faster and better......but hey..... IT'S SIX QUID If I had a choice of this or hand power I'd forgoe a large kebab one day and get this bought In fact I mayy even use the really soft black pad to apply pre wax cleaner like SRP to the zed (apart from inaccessible areas like roof etc coz I'm only short!

New Member looking for a 350z
HEADPHONES replied to cs3ljw's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
Welcome to the OC. Happy zed hunting. You do know it is MANDATORY to post up pics once you get your zed -
It's a version 1 Nismo body kit comprising of a wing, side skirts, rear spats which attach to the bottom side of the rear bumper and a Nismo bumper. You can purchase an aftermarket front lip which will give you a very similar looking front for much less money, and there are plenty of different kits out there Tarmacsportz are a trusted source of such parts. https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?cat=44&q=350z+sidesteps

Welcome to the OC. Those wheels are the optional 18 inch forged lightweight Rays wheels. Probably one of the lightest and strongest wheels to have. They were an EXTRA £1000 if you ticked them on ordering the car new. For handling and keeping unsprung weight down they are pretty much the rims to have. 19 inch rims look the business but do add alot of weight, even if you go for the forged Nismo LMGT4 rims also made by Rays. Then there's also the increased cost of tyres for the 19 inch rims. Here's a pic of mine on standard suspension but with the 19 inch rims on which fill the arches perfectly imho. Very hard to obtain these wheels even 2nd hand now, but Rota do a very similar design for a reasonable price.

Valy's Zed build #Rocket Bunny >The Blackout<
HEADPHONES replied to valy's topic in Member Build Projects
Your zed must attract crazy attention everywhere you go! Hard to imagine how much else you could do to improve it once the spoiler is done as it looks pretty much perfect -
Wow...... that's alot of stereo for £250! I remember in the 90s paying similar for just a radio and cassette head unit

What a journey. Worth the wait to see the photographic evidence of their performance. You should get some freebies from Car Chem for the testing backing their products Also maybe a sticky somewhere with your recommended products ranking so that the non detailing OCD members have quick access to your findings

You can also message Zmanalex above. He has been helping zed owners source parts for many many years .......and welcome to the OC

Seeing as there is some interest regarding Fusso, I thought I'd post the YouTube videos that convinced me to buy a pot And this review is what triggered my interest many years ago, but an everlasting pot of Collinite wax meant it was years later before I bought Fusso http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=328751

Cheers for the extra information Ekona....... sometimes it's easy to forget to put the full message down

For about 6 months or so it has sat on the shelf while I switched to BSD and then started playing with Fusso.Dug it out last week and applied it to dry paint. Went on and off in a flash. Almost 10 X quicker than using Fusso.Beading not as good as Fusso or BSD but lovely slick finish and sooooo quick to use.Used it this evening as a drying aid after a quick wash before she goes for her service and MOT in the morning.Gleaming under my pir halogen security lighting.

Kids are watching these animations. Heard the engine roar. Came to see what they were watching. Now I'm hooked on this series of animated shorts

Parking Protection From Dings Inside Car Parks
HEADPHONES replied to hmale4yu's topic in 370z General
This thread brings back bas memories. One late evening I'm in a queue at Tesco discussing this very topic on the phone with a friend. I said he should hire a midget who stays in the boot. When he parks up, said midget jumps out with a stool and sits outside gaurding the car. You return, give him a tip, he gets his stool and jumps back in the boot. We were laughing away. Then I hang up Turn around. There in the flesh. A REAL LIFE MIDGET BEHIND ME IN THE QUEUE LOOKING WELL P!$$ED ! Spent the next month looking over (and below) my shoulder for a midget seeking revenge -
Welcome to the OC. Reflections in your paint look awesome

That's a great looking zed. What with the respray it must look stunning in the flesh. Hope it finds a good home -
Welcome to the OC. I'm really digging the blacked out centre portion of the bumper. Seen a few new members with this now.

Welcome to the OC. I still remember the first day I picked up my zed 13 years ago. Drove around ALL day with Misssy Elliott's then latest CD "the cookbook" on repeat.

SGS boot struts causing boot to sit proud, scraping
HEADPHONES replied to longsh07's topic in 350Z Modifications
This shows the correct fitting Yours is upside down. You're not the first to do this and I'm sure you'll see this errorade by other new members in future. -
Looks so much better with a black grille. Should have left the factory like that. The headlights, grille and lip go together so perfectly Joe Public would never know they were mods
