My brother-in-law and I gave the Zed some much needed love with the upcoming show season...I must admit I was really pleased with the results. Products consisted of: Carbon Collective Satsuma Snow Foam Carbon Collective Lusso Shampoo Carbon Collective Mammoth Wash Mitt Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner Raceglaze Super Size Detailing Brush Carbon Collective Clay Mitt Dodo Juice Basics of Bling Clay Bar Dodo Juice Born Slippy (Lube for Clay Bar & Mitt) Poorboys Waffle Weave Towel Carbon Collective Panel Prep Surface Cleaner Silverline Silverstorm Rotary Polisher (1500W) Autoglym Paint Pro System (Two-Stage Polishing Kit) Carbon Collective Platinum Paint Coating Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels Coating Carbon Collective Platinum Glass Copious amounts of Microfibre Towels I won't go into too much detail about every step, I'll let the pictures do the talking. However, the steps were as follows: Whole car was snowfoamed to begin with using CC satsuma snow foam. The body was then washed using two bucket method and CC lusso shampoo. Wheels were washed using VP Bilberry wheel cleaner and Detailing brush. Shampoo then rinsed off and not dried (kept the water on the car for use of the clay mitt). Bit of Dodo Juice Born Slippy applied whilst using the clay mitt also helped. I used the clay mitt to do one panel at a time and was rinsing each panel as I went along. I started off with using the clay mitt with a fair bit of pressure on the windows to 'break it in' before using it on the bodywork. For the wheels, exhaust and smaller, more intricate areas I used some good old fashioned clay bar. Then the car was washed again after it had all been done with the clay mitt/bar. Car was completely dried and rolled up into the garage ready to begin polishing. Door handles, badges, rear diffuser, black rubbers and plastics were all taped up in blue 3M tape to avoid being damaged. First of all tried out the Stage 2 'Refine' polish and pad on a front wing to see if it provided enough 'cut' to get out the scratches and blemishes. It didn't quite provide enough in this case so we decided to use the Stage 1 'Renovate', which was then followed with Stage 2 afterwards. This method was adopted around the whole of the car, with many areas also having to be polished by hand. The bulk of the car was machine polished though. This left an amazing finish on the paintwork, but also a lot of excess polish, so the car was rolled back outside to be washed again. Whilst my brother-in-law took the reigns on the polishing I applied a coat of CC Platinum Wheels to each of the powdercoated rays and also to the cobra backbox and tailpipes. Following this wash, after the car had been dried, all the surfaces were 'cleaned' using CC panel prep to provide the base for applying the sealants. Every piece of glass had a coating of CC Platinum Glass applied to the exterior faces. The bodywork was then covered in CC Platinum Paint, one panel at a time. Leaving a beautiful finish and protected Zed. As some of you may know, I then took the Zed to Shelsley Walsh meet on Sunday and it ended up absolutely filthy! However, I didn't have to use my wiper blades once due to all the water just shooting off the windscreen courtesy of the glass sealant. I will be washing the car this weekend as I won't have chance during the week and am sure it will be returned to it's former glory. For now, please enjoy the pictures! Thanks for looking!

Thanks for clarifying! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok no problem, will do some research. Thank you anyway

Yeah it was Wiggy I was on about! Are you in one of the blue 350's then?

Do these fit OEM Rays? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had the exact same problem with Admiral myself (at the age of 23 as well). It's currently with the financial ombudsman! Their services are shocking.

About a year ago I had the rims powdercoated so maybe it could've been back then when it was on original Rays? Haha! Yeah that'd be quality, I know the guy with the light blue 370z too, he's on 1st floor of B017! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that's the one buddy! I was in the leamington with the little man yesterday. Why thank you means a lot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yet another smooth and easy transaction from Ewen. I'd ordered a 350z coupe boot mat as I couldn't source them from any dealers as they don't seem to make them anymore. Clark Motorsport had them on their website so I made an order and also a little black clip I'd lost for my battery cover. Ewen contacted me to say they'd tried all dealers around them and couldn't source a mat, so they refunded me the whole order and still sent the black clip out free of charge. Thanks again!
