shire350Z Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Seeing my car like this!!! As most off you know i love nothing more than to be detailing my car and havent been able to do anything with it let alone clean it since before new year now. Luckily iv got another car to drive so as soon as snow starts to fall the Zed stays put but seeing it covered in the snow and the nismo's mind at least this shows its not kept in the garage and is driven all through winter with the nismo's on when possible and left to mother nature when its not possible to drive!!! But i can gurantee it'll be gleaming for the first shows of the year especially that engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Mine is exactly the same, mate. Stuck on the drive with a snowy afro. Bought a little run around this week so the Zed can stay there without risk of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 mine has its scuff but is warm and snow free hidden tightly under a tree in the drive its nice to look after her and not leave her cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon Coops Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My 350 is all cosy and warm and dry in my heated garage It was washed polished and waxed before it was put in, although it has no passenger door, no front bumper, no wings, no steering wheel, no bonnet, no b-pillars, no interior and most of the covers in the engine bay removed Coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 i have no option!!! but all you guys know how shiney and well presented she is come spring Well, apart from the engine bay. That'll probably still be covered in old oil, dust, grime and lubricants again like in was in Wales in Oct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Shire if you're not driving your Z every day, given the rather white weather you're currently experiencing, what about a car cover for the poor thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Sorry to Hijack your thread shire, but this is my zed as it stands right now and I feel your pain! (behind the grey celica on the right). You think you've got it bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 i've found that clean snow like that works wonders for cleaning the car. it tends to take the dirt with it when it melts off in large chunks. my long drive up to york with all the slush i found that the whole car was filthy apart from the rear wheels which looked pristinly clean as the slush had cleaned them as i'd gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Don't worry mate, by the time the snow and salt and cold have eaten your Nismos, you can look for some nice new shiny wheels for the show season!! Mine is in the garage. Not perfect, but clean and dry..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zStephen Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm getting really fed up with the ice/snow and grit. I'm dying to get out and wash my zed, and get all the nasty grit off it! I've even had to result to using the bus this week to get back and forth to work due to the treacherous roads There has been snow on the ground for nearly 3 weeks now, and it doesn't look like its going any time soon. It was -11 on my commute to work this morning, and its supposed to be -20 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kObi Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i know exactly how you all feel. im dying to wash/drive mine too. on the plus side, the snows melting very fast today so hopefully i'll get out sometime this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I know how you feel mate, i cant fit my car in the garage and didnt have time to get a cover made before christmas so its just sitting on my drive looking sorry for itself. I cant wait to get my hands on cleaning it once the snow has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 with a garage that narrow you almost have to ask the question "whats the point" new builds take the pi$$ sometimes. i can get my car in my garage but its not easy to get the door open, have to pull to one side once in without hitting the wall; its very annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alessandro Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 If it makes you feel any better, yesterday I got rid of the snow on my car, turned the engine on for about 20 min so she was all nice and warm, took her for a drive around town couple of times and now.............. she's all brown and dirty she looked better covered with snow!!
