marzman Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, i took advantage of the nice weather like a few others this weekend and detailed my zed. Yesterday i washed, clayed, and waxed with Dodo Juice Purple Haze. I didnt polish as i was running out of time, and i didnt feel as though she needed it. I also worked on some of the stone chips with the touch up kit that i got from Paints4U. I've not clayed her in a while and i was really surprised to see so much dirt come off the first panel! Before the clay After 1 panel Then today i removed all 4 wheels and gave them a going over with the Megs NXT metal polish and my polishing drill bit attachment, followed by a coat of purple haze and and a coat of spray on wheel wax. Hopefully this should seal them for a while as i cant be bothered doing that every month! Lastly i used the NXT and the drill bit and had a go at my headlights. They weren't particularly bad anyway, but they do look noticeably better now. Before: During: After: I followed all this up with a few pics, and then the missus edited a few on her phone with instagram i believe... enjoy! Instagram! Edited April 7, 2013 by marzman 4 Quote

LRF4N Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I miss my azure..... Stop showing me pics of yours Quote
Stutopia Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Nice work, love the blue. I may have to wrap mine some sort of exotics blue, they just look so fit, What did you use on the headlamps? They look great, mine are a bit dull in comparison? Quote
marzman Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for the comments all. I love cleaning my zed and im actually looking forward to getting up and driving to work tomorrow just so i can see it again! What did you use on the headlamps? They look great, mine are a bit dull in comparison? Meguiars NXT Metal Polish, applied using a polishing drill bit attachment. Autosol also works if you have that. Worth doing if yours are clouded clouded as it only takes 5 mins per light and it can really freshen up the front end. Quote
marconorth Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Fabulous looking Zed. Your wheel choice is bang on the money...perfection Quote

marzman Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Any before and after shots of the stone chips? Touch up kit any good? No before pics sorry... just imagine a whole load of white spots on the bumper. The kit came with scratch cleaner, paint, lacquer and polish, but all i used was the paint, applied with a cotton bud. The colour match is great but up close you can obviously tell where it's been done - but ive achieved my aim which was to disguise all the white spots from 1 meter away. Quote
