First one done, have a look if you fancy it yourselves

I work on the railway, so i know abit about privitisation, i didn't go through it myself as i joined afterwards, but my old man did.

To start with i think it will do the hosipitals a world of good, as all the different companies that will be created by this will all be competing to offer the best services, which will mean increased cleanliness, treatment, lower waiting times etc,

Hopefully theres no cutbacks in years to come as we've all seen on the railway.

Sorry about the ammount of photos, the rain was a constant threat and i just needed to get on with it tbh,

First pic i got is me starting on the wheels:

Used autobrite wheel gel and a horsehairs brush:

once aggitated:

Then i rinsed the wheels, and cleaned the barrels using a long reach brush, and also cleaned the tyres and the brake calipers and inner arches, (no pics sorry)

The car was then given a quick coating of citrus degreaser and then snowfoamed:

(snow foam was coming off by time i took pic)

Then i went round with the Apc cleaning all the badges and door shuts etc etc

then i gave the car another layer of snow foam and cleaned the car using two bucket method, dodo wash mitt and dodo BTBM (no pics cus of rain)

then onto claying:

Car was clayed using dodo supernatural clay in places and megs clay in others

car wasn't too bad

Then i started on the engine bay

before pics:

Cleaned with citrus degreaser APC then dressed with lime prime lite

Car was then dried

i did the exhausts using #00 grade wire wool and megs metal polish

before

after

Then Hugh asked me to have a look at his headlights, which had a few scratches in them and was turning cloudy

Used a spot polishing pad and 3M extra fine polish to sort those out:

Dunno how well you can see the difference in those pics..

Anyway due to the big rain clouds that seemed to be circling above, i decided to put the camera down and just get on with it,

The car paint was cleansed and enhanced with Dodo lime prime on a 3M finishing pad, to good effect,

Caught a few pics of the finish:

then was given two layers of dodo juice supernatural, the wheels where sealed with poor boys wheel sealant, tyres and trim dressed with megs endurance gel,

then the whole car given a wipe down with zaino Z8.

Enjoy the finished Pics:

Thanks for looking

Biggy

It doesn't really matter what colour wax on what colour car you use, it depends on how much you want to spend really, Get your self a few panel pots and decide what works for you.

Yeah thanks dude, ive had a search and found out the info

Hi sorry to bring this back up, did you sell the Subframes and convertors in the end?

Probably a 2 hour radius of Stafford, sadley Leeds would be a bit far for me and the battered KA

Any more takers before i shut this down at the end of july?

Maybe, i aint got the car yet?

Well i have got some red and black carbon fibre cobra misanos out of the focus i could put in, then just sell the alzean ones.. Anyone put a set of cobras in a zed before?

That looks a nice ZED and I can't remember seeing a Kuro Nismo one before. With the level of kit on it and the condition in the photos that does look a good buy. All it really needs is the Nismo wheels

 

And I had many compliments about the Alezan in my previous (black) Zed - a colour combination that I think is the most successful, IMO.

I agree with Colin Rich ... give it a test drive to my house on Saturday

I wish ! I think im gonna have to use the girlfriends ka for the trip, and the things falling apart!! Lol

Yeah i know my postcode is in there, but oh well

Does this look like a decent Z?

I'll probably tell him to keep all the audio stuff, and i'm not a fan of the tan leather, how likely would it be that someone would want to swap for black leather?

Nah i know i wouldnt be bothered to comb a supernatural

I've just brought a new Dodo Juice one, gonna see how it lasts.

what a beaut

I was unconvinced at first, but it does make using the washmitt so much easier to use after you've snowfoamed

Get a nilfisk, cheaper and better quality then karcher, you can get them from argos

wow, awesome!

shouldnt really be alarmed by that, by double checking on here you can find out from peoples past experiances and see if they know what there on about, also they have been honest with you and not just told you that they can do it.

go to a scrappy, get a spare panel, and practice, best way to learn!

I learnt on my girlfriends KA

Biggy - Jager's so cute...she looks a right wee menace

Menace is an understatement, i've had to go to the neighbours house once to try and get her out of one of there cupboards!

i dont think there the same cars, theres too many differences between them
