    My New Ride

    Yeah I know, the insurance we just too high, and my budget wouldn't stretch. Changing from a Z to a Mustang isn't a performance thing anyway

    My New Ride

    Still waiting to collect, DVLA hold up. Got this photo today, although it's meant to be getting prepared (detailed) tomorrow. Hopefully get some photos of it cleanup up tomorrow. Just the V6 I'm afraid
  11. Where are you based? You tried detailer/Clay?
  12. Yeah you're only going to sell a 2003 car at that price to a Z enthusiast, really needs a full write up with all the mods listed on the ad
  13. I'll PM you my number, feel free to give me a call if you have any questions
  14. No problem, maybe try using the machine on an unassuming area to see how you get on, and compare this to a section you've done by hand to see the difference. How do you apply SRP by hand You can apply SRP by hand using foam pads like Meguiar's Gold Class High Tech Applicator Pad, German Applicator, or any other foam applicator. Microfibre pads work too. Apply a few Skittle sized blobs on your applicator and spread it on the paint. Work on areas which have the size of about half a door. Then work it really well untill it becomes a little hazy or clear. Then buff off with a microfibre towel.
  15. Oh and if you're after wax then I'd recommend Autoglym High Definition Wax - http://goo.gl/4kO9f5 .While is it expensive, that tub will last you a long time and gives good finish and protection.
  16. The best they have is Autoglym Super Resin Polish - http://goo.gl/r1v45f . I have never applied this with a machine (only by hand) but by all accounts it is fairly decent. Found these instructions online for applying. How do you apply SRP by machine? Use a light polishing or polishing pad. Apply a few Skittle sized blobs on your applicator and spread it on the paint. Work on areas which have the size of about half a door. Then work it really well untill it becomes a little hazy or clear. Then buff off with a microfibre towel.
  17. I'll check their website and get back to you
  18. If you are following the basics on the guide, then machine polish in between the clay bar and the wax.
  19. No it's not the same I'm afraid. The stuff I mentioned is part of the Meguiars "Mirror Glaze" range, which is apparently their professional stuff. If you could order online then many shops sell it, including CleanYourCar.co.uk. Before doing a polish you need to make sure your car is completely clean; the best way to do this is by using a clay car (after you've washed the car). Again, the best place to get a good clay bar and detailer is on the internet. If you can order your products online then have a look at this basic guide I wrote, with links to products. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/74058-basic-car-detailing-guide/
  20. At Tiny My Car London yeah? For sure. Might aswell get ur bodykits fitted too You still coming to wrap my roof for free yeah?
  21. The consensus (from the advise I've read) is to use the least harsh polish and pad combination first; if this gives the desired effect then don't risk damaging your paint by using something too harsh. The Meguiars range is good as it gives you a number and graphic to show it's level of cut. In simplistic terms you are stripping a tiny layer of paint (lacquer) when polishing, if your paint is looking a bit dull then stripping the tiniest layer (using a low cut polish) off can really make a big difference to your paint, without the inherent risk of cutting too deep.
  22. If you're not sure what you're doing then DA Polisher is recommended. http://goo.gl/yztCW1 I've read a few guides and videos, this guy on youtube goes on a bit, but gives some in depth advise. http://www.youtube.c...kman2000/videos If your paint is already in good condition then I'd use Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze, or if you have some swirls or light scratches then use Meguiars #83 Cleaner/Polish first, then Speed Glaze after.
