It does look a bit high. It could just be where it's parked, especially as s/he has turned the car around to take photos of the other side rather than just... you know, walking around it. The car doesn't look particularly level in any of the photos... although that could just as easily be the sellers camera skills though (or maybe even just my eyes!).

Congratulations on the new job, Rob, I'm really happy for you mate. Not so sure about the choice of transport though.

That's debatable.

At least I know why golf balls have dimples now.

Well they got that wrong, for a start. An F1 team (from memory it may have been B.A.R.) conducted several tests in their wind tunnel to determine if it was worth retaining a professional detailer to determine that if the paint was perfectly smooth and polished it'd be more or less aerodynamic. It made no measurable difference. If it doesn't make any difference to a car so reliant on aerodynamics, it's going to make even less difference on the road. If I can find the source again I'll post it up.

You just had to say it, didn't you?!

The button operates the headlight washers independently. The windscreen washer will also operate the headlight washers every third time when the headlights are on. Also check the washer bottle level, if it's too low the headlight washers stop drawing fluid before the windscreen washers do.

It's not really a QD though, is it? It's much more a spray wax, regardless of how it's marketed. However, I found it difficult to get streak-free finish with it on the Z without a lot of work. I did find it easier going on harder paint, but even then I wasn't exactly blown away by the finish (compared to what was underneath it). You seem to have got to grips with it a lot better than I have though, your Z looks great there.

Dodo Juice is just as good as it was last time you used it. As always I'll resort to the "it depends what you're after from the wax" as to if there's anything considered to be better. I'm not a fan of Sonax BSD though, I just didn't get on with it on Nissan paint and I didn't think the finish was anything spectacular. The water behaviour was impressive though.

Funny? No. Just wrong.

It's eBay. People will buy a bucket of fog if it's on eBay!

I use a VP Detailing Brush to apply any tyre dressing and I find it doesn't take any longer to apply to Megs (or any other gel type product) doing it this way. And there's no mess at all either. Don't blame me, it's all Downhuman's fault. All of it. ^^ Because of you last time I washed my car I ended up doing half with one product & half with another just to see the difference. Now tell me that's not your fault. Ah, but I only started doing that myself because of the vast array of Waxybox samples I have accrued. Downhuman introduced me to Waxybox, so technically...

Don't blame me, it's all Downhuman's fault. All of it. To the OP; Megs Endurance (not sure why no one's mentioned it yet... ), Blackfire Total Eclipse, Autosmart High Style Swissvax Pneu Glossy (there's two varieties of Pneu, so make sure you get the Glossy one) all give a wet look outright. There are others like Dr Beasley's or EcoTouch amongst others which get glossier when layered too. It's worth noting that some tyres are more receptive to dressings than others - certain tyre brands seem to absorb dressings more than others so it doesn't really matter what you use it's never going to look really glossy.

If I wanted to go fast in a straight line I can think of more appealing than anything with VX in the name, let alone the Z.

the first rule of the vx club is ............. ..... hang your head in shame?

Seems quite expensive, might try this: http://www.amazon.co...3SJC6BF7CG07J0F A little goes a loooong way with this stuff. And don't just do headlights, do any exposed plastic. Black plastic under wing mirrors, plastic sill plates, engine bay plastics, B-pillar plastics, etc. C4 is the same stuff as C1 and C5, so it will also do bodywork and wheels too. Basically every exterior surface on the car except glass.

I highly recommend Atkin Motor Engineers in Malton.

Supply and demand. A company will charge as much as people are willing to pay, basically. But I agree, on the face of it that seems overpriced to me too.

I'll have to start paying more attention seeing as I live round the corner from there but never spotted your Z. Which one to be fair been going in the misses car since before Christmas Either.

No worries, the reason I chose to share this was so people could make up their own minds on whether they want to pre-wash or not. I'm glad I've been of some use at times though. It makes a refreshing change.

Citrus Power comes in a spray bottle (unless you get 5 litre sizes) but works out to be quite expensive - although there are currently a few 3 for 2 offers on Auto Finesse products at the moment. A lot of people recommend Valet Pro Citrus Pre-Wash as an efficient, cost effective alternative to Citrus Power which is applied by spray bottle and you can adjust the concentration as required with that too. You'll still get the most benefit when used in conjunction with a pressure washer though.
