ShortPaul Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Hi in the process of buying a new nismo 370z i have opted for for guard x protection on bodywork and interior any feed back would be good, thanks in advance Quote
ilogikal1 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Bit late now if you’ve already opted for it. It’s not the worst stuff in the world, but dealers tend not to prepare or apply such protection properly and subsequently they tend not to last more than two or three months at best. Hopefully you got it thrown into the deal for free?!? Generally speaking, you’re far off better taking the car to a detailer and spending similar money or less on getting something professionally applied rather than paying dealer prices for the apprentice valeter to throw some products in the direction of an unprepared car.

ShortPaul Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Ok buddy trying now to contact them to cancel guardx they aren't doing it for free they are charging 300 quid, but have no joy yet, its bit like trying to do a deal in a snake pitthanks for advice Quote
parello9 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Cost price is £30 but the salesman gets paid off it and the dealership obviously, they have monthly targets for it so you they do try force it go on ebay its all on there too Quote

ilogikal1 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 If you’re confident enough, get a decent coating, polish and protect it yourself. It’ll almost certainly need a good polish first, and will benefit from a decent decontamination and prep first too. Otherwise start researching local detailers. 1 Quote

ilogikal1 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 White Diamond is a glaze, so.itll need topping with a wax or sealant too. Poorboys Natty's Paste Wax is decent (and cheap) for a couple of.moths protection and will sit on top of WD nicely. I prefer Blue but they're much of a muchness between the colours really. Quote
ShortPaul Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Ok mate thanks, just a regular Maguires gold class for decontamination? Quote
ShortPaul Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Hi buddy this is a mine field is any good Quote
ilogikal1 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 For Devon, you’ll want an iron remover like Car Chem Revolt. Jet Seal is a reasonable sealant, it should be okay with White Diamond but Poorboys EXP would be better and the Poorboys equivalent to Jet Seal. Quote
ShortPaul Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Do you have links for this products and applicators and drying towels extra that i would be best using not to worry about the price, sorry to keep firing loads of questions at you buddy, your detailing information is much appreciated i will go with what your saying to use many thanks Paul Quote
ilogikal1 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Sure. EX-P or Natty's Blue (or Jet Seal) and White Diamond. Personally, I would forgo the White Diamond and get AF Tripple instead which does the same job but a bit more, and then go for a wax on top - Natty's would work with this. Fallout remover - Korrosol as the next best thing to Car Chem Revolt from CYC (to save on postage). Consider chucking in one of these too for better prep. Applicators. A couple of these. And a couple of these. Drying towel. Or, all the cloths you'll need for a while in one bundle. Extras; Everything you'll need for the glass. That should keep you going for a while. 1 Quote

ShortPaul Posted July 5, 2020 Author Posted July 5, 2020 Thanks for your enquiry. Here's your very own personal video; https://video.citnow.com/vxSTKRL8dMW i have bought this its being delivered next week Quote
Payco Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Thought that was Steve Cram on the video . Not sure if they have since fixed the boot release since I had my 2016 Nismo but if they haven't its a pain in the arse so don't think yours is broken. You have to click to release and then click again to lift so its impossible to open with shopping in your hand. Great car though so have fun when she arrives Wednesday Paul. You wont sleep much Tues night I bet. Martin 1 Quote
