  1. Was detailing my new Zed today and first machine polish to remove the spider webbing on the car. Had a full wash, Iron X and Clay beforehand - panel wiped it down, then broke out the DA. Tried my usual Menz combo but wasn't breaking down due to the cold Tried another carpro AIO polish but was 'sticky' on the paint Weather or normal Zed behaviour....? Ended up by hand using Amigo, then a layer of Supernatural Hybrid Looks lovely but still want to machine the car..
  2. Tyre fitter said mine was on original tyres with 2007 date stamp on them... 22k and 5 years
  3. First mod done - stubby aerial is on. Rock and Roll baby

  4. Great car those Clio's ... have fun!
  5. Politically correct modders?
  6. Don't tell me that now, lol. But you are a 120 mile round trip. That is probably the difference in cost gone I thought £850 fitted was good. I guess it was at my house, and Event were awesome Just need to a) remove tyre lacquer get used to RWD in wet
  7. You could try CarPro Fight Fog, available from Mat @ i4detailing. This stuff does work, but windscreen (or bathroom mirror I use it on too) needs to be ultra clean first. You will then struggle to fog up anything!
  8. New tyres fitted by Event Tyres... Who were brilliant. First experience of them? Dab of oppo on a greasy roundabout outside where I live. Got to love new tyre lacquer, lol
  9. Dodo stuff is good value I prefer Zaino personally. Once I've got a spare day the new Zed will be getting a thorough going over As soon as I got her home I fed the leather, washed it, Iron-X'd the wheels (amazing stuff this) and waxed it with Dodo Supernatural Hybrid wax (to get something on it as there was clearly no wax there at all) Full detail write up will be more comprehensive. Someone has used 'wiper blade' drying things on it and there are some nice long scratches in the clearcoat to get rid of
  10. I'm in Haywards Heath and happy to help anyone ...l
  11. A few months. You can get superguard on eBay for £5... Lots of better alternatives to it which will give a nice finish
  12. If he wants a ceramic coating he should get some Cquartz UK or Optiseal .... £40 ish, easy to apply, proven and enough for lots of cars. Reduces scratching to a degree, protects paint well, chipping will happen anyway due to the nature of them. Best solution, as always ... Machine polish paint so perfect and then get a decent protection film on there
  13. Loving the new Zed. Most exciting car I've had in ages. Now, tyres!

  14. ATS out of stock... so event tyres fitted Friday for same price. Factor in the £50 michelin fuel card and I'm happy
  15. So I find the standard system silent compared to my old car... So if the invidia is slightly louder then it won't bother me.
  16. Went OEM spec 245 45 18 and 225 45 18 respectively New car to me, so don't know the 'difference' in handling yet On 3 year old RE050's currently on the legal limit (ish)
  17. So, thought I'd try the supersports following review reading . Got 4 in oem sizes from ats for £850 fitted. 2% cash back through topcashback and a £50 fuel card through ats promotion too. Bargain
  18. Hey, can't blame a chap for trying?? Just spent £10800 today on a car so trying to economise, lol
  19. Haven't detailed the mofo yet... Big detailing geek here....
  20. Would you take £50? Would rather go genuine nismo carbon for more money....
  21. How about the annoying seatbelt? Cheers CS! And some picks after a quick clean / inspection - full detail in due course
  22. Drove my new zed home tentatively ... but loved every minute of it. 'Tis is beauty - fully loaded, well cared for and awesome. But tyres need doing and had a random question - is the drivers seatbelt supposed to be twisted? Annoyed me! Cheers Rob PS Will search tyre threads soon but any suggestions welcomed... FK452s, Michelin or OEM?
  23. Any update?
  24. New zed tomorrow
