Let up e know how you get on with it. Is it call bubbly jubbley?? Lol Working from home today so cracked out the pressure washer It is indeed called Bubbly Jubbly and was £19 for 5 litres, which I think is decent value. I followed the instructions (not in a proper ilogikal1 "use a 10ml syringe" way) and measured the advised qualities with my eyeball Here she is about 1 minute after I finished foaming. Not full on shaving foam thickness but thicker than Avalanche's paltry efforts. Around the 7 minute mark. Around 10 minutes. I find that anything that clings to my paint that long without drying out, is doing well, unless she's particularly heavily soiled in traffic film. On a warmer day I would've started to pressure wash it off before 10 minutes. I was totally happy with it up to this point, smelled nice easy to work with. It's slightly runnier than I expected from a snowfoam, which meant it was a bit quicker getting it in the lance/ I don't expect snowfoam to eliminate dirt (it's not a touchless wash after all), but I do expect it to soften said filth up. The foam I rinsed off the side steps was discoloured with road grime (obvisouly this is good) and left them in good order (the foam you can see underneath is run off from the rear of the car, not the darker stuff I rinsed off the skirts). Some bird gifts remained, albeit reduced. I could have shifted more off the wheels by getting the pressure washer in tighter but I don't like to get too close with it. You can see where I have used my finger to test rub some of the muck away. I should say I did't have any proper wheel cleaner applied before this point and it's been many months since they were sealed. I was going to get the woolies on them anyway so again, this is purely softening work. By the time I was done with the foam stage I was pleased with the Envy offering. Sadly I forgot to take a photo pre-three-bucket-wash, but if I was really pushed for time it would have been plenty clean enough for me to just open hose the car all over and leave it there. It wouldn't have been clean enough for me to be happy towel drying it at that stage. Only a first use of this so I'll dabble with ratios the next few times and maybe try to thicken it up a little. My first impression is that I like this product enough for it to become my go to. Snowfoaming is more a luxury then a necessity so I don;t want to spend loads on foam. I'm yet to try the citrus based pre-wash cleansers, as I enjoy foaming everything with 30 feet of the house, so they could well offer better cleaning, however I always TBM after a foam so it makes little difference so long as the dirt is reduced and softened by the snowfoam I'm happy. It also does't live forever on your drive if that is a concern, plenty do I'd urge you to give it a try, they do a 1 litre bottle so even if you don;t like it, you won't be stuck with it forever like I am with half a gallon of Megs hyper wash!

Found this today I don't know how it got there but it's either something high reversing into me at work, or someone hitting her with something hard. I thought shopping trolley to start with, but I always park miles away from the norms. Any ideas on putting it right? It's deep enough that it can't simply be left alone. Absolutely fuming.

Once you get the analogue g-force meters in you'll be done.

They look sweet Thought you were going for orange

back. I didn't know you could remove that, I thought it was paint, good to know.

I save that for special occasions when I want a deep, deep, deep clean.

OI! Leave 50cal alone, I have a garage full of the stuff They have just dropped their prices by about 30%, though and yes, they are nicely packaged and customers do pay a premium for it, but, damn do their products smell amazing I'm not against 50cal!!! None of their products I've bought have been less than good, they just know how to charge. 30% off might tempt me back on a few (but not the snow foam!).

I got mine working after some effort but I found it's seriously underwhelming. Try the "AppRadio Live" app if you want to have a play, the execution is a bit better though entirely US centric the last time I plugged it in. Using the basic bluetooth takes less effort and engages automatically.

I must say the Envy products I've used so far (shampoo, APC, wheel cleaner) are properly brilliant. They may not have the sexiest boutique packaging of some manufacturers (or the price tags that go hand in hand with that ) but they shift muck for fun. You could put it in a flasher bottle with a hipster name, charge double (I'm looking at you 50cal) and people would jizz off over them galore. Funnily enough I've recently taken shipment of a gallon of Envy snow foam and am genuinely excited about giving it a whirl, possibly tomorrow

How filthy was your air filter that came out? Also was it a different brand that went in? Might make a bit more noise no?

Had my eye on this job for ages but got the fear I wouldn't be able to put them back on! Not quite 'refurbished' as I'm a bit too lazy but rubbed down, watery bits masked off and a few coats of hammerite applied. Looks way better than they did and they've stopped irritating me when I'm sat in traffic now I also installed a finger print too, you know, to give it that personal touch? Might rub the finger print out in future depending on how I feel about it.

I've been looking at discs for a while becuase the 'hats' on mine are corroded. I bookmarked these for when the time comes: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88812-special-package-price-dba-t2-discs-and-hawk-pad/ and also these rather nice looking black ones: http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7_3&products_id=115&zenid=02079adaf5ea052dd3f22626e4ab8f87 There was also some chat on here about discs too: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69165-decent-discs-and-pads-not-too-much-money/page__st__20

Love these moody artistic blue shots, very futuristic.

Some valid points there. Except the one about someone else's car. Seems the perfect choice for doing really stupid things!

Who leaves bags in the car when they drop it off at a garage? If they just had the brains to top up the used fuel, he wouldn't have noticed.

Are you still in Essex? Can you tell? I don't even have any hair that needs a cut to try any of them! Surely not there's no mention of a tanning salon or a nail bar?

Hasn't Wasso got a spare V6? I reckon the Zed Shed boys could drop it straight into that. V6 + Solid Carbon Fibre FTW!

Currently planning road trip Scandinavia for April. Thinking one or two weeks, trying to get up to the arctic circle and Atlantic road and that I'll probably not take the Zed - think they get snow from time to time up there. I noticed Hertz have some Porsche Macans knocking about...

Due to cyberbullying by Matt and Granville I fitted a plate minus extraneous white bits today. Radiator efficiency is up 9%, so it's good for 15bhp at least this mod

This ^^^^^^^ Even when I've worked for the smallest financial institutions they've had call recording. I'd write to them with the approx time and date of the call and demand a response. If they tell you one thing and do another, and it's recorded, you're well positioned to demand they AT LEAST look into it.

You guys get rubbish ones, I much prefer mine: Tiffani Cota left you a private message on QuickDate:

The systems are married to the car's ECU, so you need to bear that in mind if you want to put another Zed's into yours. I think it requires Nissan assistance. Just out of interest, why would you not just go for something aftermarket and better?

Mine came out as part of the clutch change. Didn't look especially tricky for my techs to get in and out at all.

You really should, it was part of the attraction of the car just to say I'd owned one Surely a V8 has to be american before you can properly tick it off? :stir: Don't agree with that and I'm pretty sure Dan will agree with me on this that it doesn't have to be an American V8 to be ticked off the list, ...especially as both us will no doubt want to go round corners at some point. Of course mate, V8 magic is V8 magic, whatever the origin.

Very succinctly put, I'd never actually made that connection before, though it seems obvious now Now I know that, I actually need two cars, plus a track toy!
