And where does all this government support come from exactly?

Me? Certain people definitely, but I was largely being facetious. I don’t understand the principal of blaming Boris for anyone else being a moron. I blame Boris for my lack of understanding, naturally.

Regardless of whether you're paying for it or someone else is, you should always be happy with the end result. If you're not take it back and ask them to correct the issues. The only problem comes when you're not happy but they won't do anything further, it's then down to the insurance company to apply that pressure to the repairer but if they think the repair is adequate it's up to you to convince them otherwise before they'll do anything else about it; sometimes it's just not worth that battle but that's your call.

You're absolutely right. It's quite clearly entirely Boris' fault, and Boris' alone, that there are so many individuals in the country that are completely incapable of taking any responsibility for themselves, let alone for their actions. I think it was entirely wrong of Boris to allow anyone, even the remotely sensibile minority, to make any of their own decisions about how they act, even in light of all the available information. Boris threatening to imprison, or better still have the army patrolling the streets with instructions to beat or kill anyone that dared leave their own home, from day one. That's what was needed. After all, it's not like anyone bitched and moaned about infringements on their civili liberties when they were advised against washing their car in the street or anything. Yep, Boris failed us. Damn him.

Quite right, how dare anyone treat a nation like adults?! he should definitely know better than to do that...

Stock 350Z with a standard exhaust sounds gash. That’s why literally everyone changes it.

Whatever keeps you entertained I guess.

Even I actually like that!

So why does it matter so much to you that other people have their own opinions about about both past and potential future cars then???

Are you on commission there or something?!?

You have to consider other markets, not just the US.

"People" "wanted" a GT86/BRZ. Until it was an option to buy one. As one of plenty examples. What "people" "want" and what people actually buy are two different things and Nissan are only interested in the latter.

As Davey says, to keep it clean requires regular washing/polishing. Protecting it will make it easier though. Waxes like the one you've linked are better than nothing. Sealants like Britemax will last a bit longer than wax. Coatings (like this, or this) will last considerably longer, but you'll still need to wash regularly - for the inside, depending on how much you drive the car you might have to wash it as often as use it. Clean, polish, IPA wipedown then apply your LSP of choice for maximum protection (with the exception of the Britemax twins which are designed to be used in conjunction). Quick wipe-over every week should then keep it shiny for a good while.

Yeah, but it’s an ugly sidewall though so who cares which is more grippy, or longer lasting anyway. Don't get good tyres, get pretty ones instead.

So the professional agrees with Dan then. Glad we cleared that up.

Ah, that's okay then. I was disappointed in the downgrade for a moment there.

Didn't you go for the Mk1 wheels though??

The irony of that post is beyond incredible.

Either make him wait or get it noted, in writing, that you're taking it without inspection and will report any issues you have with the paintwork within 24 hours on the understanding that they are responsible for resolving. He'll choose to wait.

I do, but I get banned from the internet when I post those pictures...

No problem at all.

Sure. EX-P or Natty's Blue (or Jet Seal) and White Diamond. Personally, I would forgo the White Diamond and get AF Tripple instead which does the same job but a bit more, and then go for a wax on top - Natty's would work with this. Fallout remover - Korrosol as the next best thing to Car Chem Revolt from CYC (to save on postage). Consider chucking in one of these too for better prep. Applicators. A couple of these. And a couple of these. Drying towel. Or, all the cloths you'll need for a while in one bundle. Extras; Everything you'll need for the glass. That should keep you going for a while.

For Devon, you’ll want an iron remover like Car Chem Revolt. Jet Seal is a reasonable sealant, it should be okay with White Diamond but Poorboys EXP would be better and the Poorboys equivalent to Jet Seal.

White Diamond is a glaze, so.itll need topping with a wax or sealant too. Poorboys Natty's Paste Wax is decent (and cheap) for a couple of.moths protection and will sit on top of WD nicely. I prefer Blue but they're much of a muchness between the colours really.

If you’re confident enough, get a decent coating, polish and protect it yourself. It’ll almost certainly need a good polish first, and will benefit from a decent decontamination and prep first too. Otherwise start researching local detailers.
