  1. Spotted - Black 350Z this morning about 7.15 popping out of Janes Lane, Wivelsfield Green end - "Morning!"
  2. Probably was - Missus probably wanted some chocolate or something lol - Will certainly pop round, I did give you a knock a while back but guess you has popped out - saw the Zed thoug - nice!
  3. Payco - I think we have a new one to the fold I've started seeing a fellow 350 (white) in Burgess Hill, that 370z I've seen a few times parked up in a residential road south of the burgess hill high street
  4. Noobie Question, but what do I need to remove to be able to run a cable from the Cubby, down past the head unit and out the side to the cigarette lighter in the passenger footwell, or alternatively to the the one behind the driver side..... want to fit a sat nav ion the but dont want cables all over the place. Thanks in advance
  5. Would appear its Zed day today in Haywards heath 5 spotted! Plus mine (the only orange one though!)
  6. No time for a picnic - Todays the day for Cleaning !

  7. Hey Martin & Downhuman - I'm Wivelsfield Green as well! @Martin you a Zed owner, not seen another one on our streets...?
  8. Prob one for the admin - looking to show my alliance, and wanted to get my hands on a 350z-uk.com windows sticker, seen a few people with them and they look great..... where can I get one?
  9. Anyone that is still interested - here's the link http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_925239_langId_-1_categoryId_265857
  10. Just Halfords are doing this for 149.99 tomorrow (one day deal) - I'm not a (filthy) iPhone user, I'm droid - afdter looking around it looks liek this model is iPony only
  11. Hey Guys, Opportunity to get one of these at a basement price anyone installed one or used one? I'm an Android user, so android friedn review welcome, just wanted to know. Also where is it fitted, does it replace the head unit or can it fit in the sat nav cubbie? Thanks
  12. I'm contending with a nasty gravel driveway - can anyone suggest a low cost solution to park my car on when cleaning, and general mud coverage, as there are patches of mud where the gravel has thinned, see pic here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/65667-first-time-detail/#entry973334
  13. Would love to support - but the URL is dead .... How about getting a hot bucket of water and just dipping the polish bottle in ever so often to keep the temp up?
  14. Nope its not that kind of comment - thanks for the tip :smile:
  15. Any tips you have for 'proper' application? So to be clear you could apply a Wax over the sealant?
  16. Thanks for the advice. Good to hear others experience. Will look into AutoGlyms polish. Would prefer to do by hand. I live in a farm so track in isn't great wonder wheels appear to eat the gunk off well. Will certainly invest in some tyre dressing though. Thanks
  17. Hey peeps, Looking to get my car looking spanking for winter, Been doing the normal wash routine lately then finishing off simply using Greased Monkeys' Showroom Shine, but now think its time to tuck into a bit of detailing as the car has a bit of road rash and want to ensure its nicely protected for winter. This is what I have planned so far..... please make any suggestions Wash - Soak with open hose, and pressure wash any stubbon skank off, then (Halfords) pressure washer bottle the car (already in the cupboard so may as well use). Lambswool mitt the car with 2 buckets. CarPlans' Wonder wheels (in cupboard) the [stock] alloys with a brush. Rinse the car with an open hose. Drip then dry with a microfibre or a shammy - yet to be decided. ClayBar - Dodo Juices' Born Slippy (Ordered) and 2x55g claybar (ordered) split into 4 bits soaking in hot water, spray BS onto 2x3ft area and claybar area lightly. Fold repeatedly and repeat on next area. Do I need to rinse car or towel down?? Polish - Completely undecided on what product to use and how to apply effectively Wax - Nothing bought yet, however have heard great thinks about Finish Kares' FK100P - Although not sure on application... Wheel dressing - Is it worth it? If so, what products? Note: All this work will be carried out on a gravel driveway so hardly ideal conditions, but the best I have. Picture below of todays 'basic' clean, you can see the surface I'm on. Any advice is extremely welcome. Thank in advance!
  18. Just make sure when you change direction with the can your not still spraying, make sure your overspray - yes its obvious but you would be amazed! One try we use for american football helmets is to hang on piece of string (then a piece of cotton in this case) twist the string up, so it spins when you release then start spraying up and down - just a nice tip, not sure if relevant on this one..... Also any actual tips on detagging the car to install these? Mine are in terrible condition and would love to replace!
  19. That's very reassuring to see. Mine would be a little more exposed but think i have some solutions to weigh it down. Please can you send me some pics of your additional struts as hadn't thought about snow weight. Thanks
  20. Thanks for the kind welcome. Don't think is been lowered. Doubt it as little other work has been done, so nice project for me :-)
  21. I've used this stuff, I think its fantastic for an easy good looking clean, great for day to day washes when you dont have a serious chance to detail. Great stuff!
  22. yes I had heard this, also making sure the sponge is damp and warm was anoth tip i picked up on my internet trawls
