cmr1991 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) So, I recently swapped my 350z in + money for my Porsche Cayman S - 3.4 I used to own a Cayman S over a year ago, sold that and got my 350z as a run around car for a bit, The zed served me well but I decided to go back to porsche. EDIT: by run around, I mean toy that used to get abused! Very good car, would 100% one day own another. and here it is : - I spent the day detailing it... drove it out the workshop into a slurry of mud and snow... brilliant :/ Edited February 13, 2014 by cmr1991 3 Quote
GMballistic Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Very nice. Any more pictures? engine bay/interior etc. Quote
cmr1991 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 Engine bay pics, no- as its a ball ache to get to with it being mid engined. But I have plenty of other photos from the the detail, before and after. I will post them up later tonight Quote
Suits Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Nice man, rather jealous. That looks like some proper detailing too !!! Quote
cmr1991 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 This is what I done/used with the detailing. : Autoglym shampoo, Then I dryed the car and used my buffing machine with Maguires cutting compound, we took all the cutting compound off by hand, We then went over the more deeper scratches with t cut both with buffing machine then by hand. Then we used Autoglym super resin polish, again on the machine and took it off by hand, finally we applied Autoglym gloss wax by hand and took it off with a finishing pad on the machine. We used Autoglym glass polish on the all the glass and went around all the plastics taking overspray from the polish off. That was everything, wet blacked the wheels etc but was pointless as I had to drive back through a mud pit haha Quote
14N Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 .....got my 350z as a run around car for a bit, Mines my pride and joy that I (try) keep for best! Porker looks nice. Quote
Ekona Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Beautiful. What bumper is that? Doesn't look stock, but might be the light. Quote
sipar69 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Very shiny. Wish I had an indoor space for detailing. Quote
tomdotc Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Wow very nice, would love to own one in the near future Quote
cmr1991 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 It's a stock front bumper but has LED spar conversion for the stock fogs Quote
Ekona Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Ah okay, might be why I didn't recognise it at first. Get some better pics up! Quote
richmillions Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Ah okay, might be why I didn't recognise it at first. Get some better pics up! I thought the same thing. Nice car though Quote
Stutopia Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Wow, stunning. These and the 370 are the only other car I see and think I could possibly swap the Zed for one. Do you mind if I ask what the insurance costs were like in comparison? Quote
cmr1991 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Roughly the same as the Zed, Mine is up for renewal in april and had to pay £28 to change it over. At 21 I paid 1.2k for my old cayman S,and around 800 for my zed (I think can't really remember) I am 22 now with an extra 1year NCB so expect it to be around the £850-950 mark. Pretty much the same as the zed give or take a few quid. EDIT : JUST DONE A QUICK QUOTE: £700 with admiral that was if I was to take a new policy out today, counting that I have a total of 3 NCB which I don't until it renews in april Edited February 13, 2014 by cmr1991 Quote
