Looks good I'm thinking of getting one myself

really good value for money and like i said,fitment and build quality are exellent.

just small update,sorry not been on here much lately,been flat out at work.

just removed the Motordyne shockwave dx  true duel system(will be up for sale soon).

just fitted and heat wrapped new 'y' pipe

japspeed silenced decats on order to replace test pipes(also for sale soon)

fitted full ISR performance(thank you boys at Torqen),single exit.

really pleased with the system,build quality exellent,the fitment spot on, and  the deep exhaust tone was just what i was after.

welcome to the club,car looking awsome.

Looks a great turn out,and nice to see it busy to pre-pandemic levels,will definitely try to make this next year.the club stand cars looking on point.

welcome to the club Danny,look forward to the photos.

welcome to the club,good luck with your search,plenty of clued up people on here for advise ect.

would be worth checking the fuse,as if motors have failed/jammed it could easily pop the fuse,nice easy cheap fix for as quick check.

good on you mate,keep going on it.the lad who does my window tinting uses johnson baby shampoo,not sure why maybe the lowish chemical content,maybe worth a try on a test piece.

hello mate yeah that was me at the lights,black one.there was the 4k detail show on at the race course,i didnt have a  ticket,was just out for a drive.

plenty of cars out in and around Newmarket,hopefully if it all went well they may make it a yearly event.excuse the state of my car,didnt get time for a valet this week.yours looked well nice mate.

sealey stripping tool

brake cleaner works well,pre soak the glue residue first it with a soaked cloth or pad then,wipe over or use plastic scraper

or the rubber headed  air tool that sealey make,that soon shifts it.

Hi all took my z out this evening and the clutch didnt retract fully after each gear. The gear change was ok but the pedal didnt fully come back up. Then when I got home there was rattling noise which went away when the I pressed the clutch back in but came back after releasing. Also moving the gear stick seemed to rattle also. Is this sounding like big expensive work?

morning,i had the same thing on my 06 plate 350z,i replaced the slave cylinder,new braided line and dot 5.1 clutch fluid and its sorted,i also made up a heat shield for the clutch line as it runs fairly close to the cat/test pipes,as i found after a hard drive in higher ambient temps ,the clutch pedal felt sloppy.

nice 350z with rota grids,spotted Newmarket high street ,gave thumbs up.sunday,possibly been to 4k detail car event at racecourse.

cheers for the info guys,i supposed worse case i can allways trim off the skirt underneath around the jack point,i just need it easy to be able to get on my lift as my Skyline was a nitemare.

the Nismo and Chargespeed are 2 ive been looking at.

thanks again

im looking into getting a set of sideskirts,just wondering what people recommend ,i need ones that still allow use of a two poster car ramp,ive not had chance to look at any aftermarket add ons fitted to a 350z,that still allow the original sill jack point to be used.

done this trick yesterday,hour job,brilliant fix.

spotted nice 350z in Blue,about 5pm saturday,rotor grids and rear nismo spoiler.

very nice car mate,welcome to the club

It depends entirely on your budget.

 

You can get fair results on tighter budget without a machine polish, if you're using the right products and a lot of effort to polish by hand (depending on how much correction the car needs).

 

Alternatively you can get incredible results if you empty your bank account and buy everything you'll ever need.

 

Or you can pay someone to do it for you.

 

As an example, Poorboys Natty's Blue Paste Wax for about £17 will give you a similar finish to Auto Finesse Desire for £120.

For the £100 difference, you could get a decent polish, hand polishing pad, clay, fallout remover, pre-wax cleaner and £43 change to go towards the wash stage (depending on what you already have) and/or upgrades.

Or, you could spend £200 on a pretty basic, and slightly incomplete, machine polishing kit that would be good enough to get you started;

 

I've chucked a coating (Can Coat) in there in place of the wax, because that'll give you far superior gloss (although less depth) at a reasonable price point.

 

I could happily spend hundreds of your pounds, as stated that kit is fairly basic. That's why it's important to have a budget in mind, because there's always something else.

It also depends on the time you have available, where you'll be working (indoors or outdoors - you don't want to be using Can Coat if you don't have a garage to store the car whilst it cures, for example), what you already have, etc, etc.

 

 

Dodo Juice waxes are pretty reasonable, don't get suckered into the colour charged marketing though - on a black car in particular it'll make absolutely zero difference. Once you get over that, the range is much of a muchness, there's no big differences between the waxes that you'll notice unless they're used side-by-side. That said Blue Velvet usually lasts longest for me.

 

Auto Finesse also produce good products, their pre-wax cleaners/AIO's in particular. Their waxes are okay, depending on what you're prepared to spend, but they've always been more of a boutique brand so you can find less flashy products that work just as well for a fraction of the price (Poorboys, for exmple). That said, if you're willing to pay, they're not bad products by any stretch of the imagination.

I would caveat that with saying that I don't think Desire is worth that price, good as it is, though.

Wow that’s amazing bud. Thanks so much for the information much appreciated.

Budget?

 

What prep are you doing?

The vast majority of your gloss will come from prep - i.e. a deep clean (clay, fallout, paint cleaner, the works) and proper machine polish. If you're just slapping wax on without much/any prep then you won't get much gloss outside of any SiO2 based coating.

 

That said, with answers to these two questions I can probably give you something useful to work with. Budget is important though.

been researching machine polishers,definitely makes sense to prep first,also been looking at do-do juice range and auto finesse polish/wax range aswell.
