How many of you use your Zed daily

[japcarsbrett]

i hate it being dirty too but i have just done a hard t-cut last weekend and put 4 coats of wax on it since so the dirt and water just runs off and when i drive it all the water comes off and takes the dirt with it hehe, so it takes a few mins to get it spotless with the sponge and i clean it everyday when i get home from work

[japcarsbrett]

Yep, use it every day, 70 mile round trip to work and used for various work purposes, about 20,000 miles a year.

 

Damn that's a lot in my old car which was a supra i had it for 2 years and used it like my zed everyday and i only covered 15,000 miles in 2 years so 7,500 a year for me

I enjoy using it for work, even after a really long trips to Europe, I get out feeling fine, only trouble with doing my sort of miles a year is all the little marks, stone chips, etc it gets, so now I just given up cleaning it outside.

Off topic sorry but I would really bin that T-cut if I was you. Soft paint on our cars from what I've read and T-cut is just bad news.

 

I replaced mine with this Meguiars stuff which is much kinda to the paint work.

I drive mine every day. But then again, I'm not rich enough to afford two cars anyway. LOL

Daily as sold the rx-7

[Ceejay29]

My daily is a hanging Ford Focus, drove the zed for the first time in weeks tonight. Great start to the weekend....although first port of call was the petrol station

[WhackyWill]

My Zed and I are inseparable we go everywhere together.. ..

Used everyday, nothing beats walking out of work and climbing into the Zed for a blast home

True i heard they have soft paint but i only need to do it the once as the wax will keep the shine up and protect the paint, plus i don't go hard enough to go through the paint so it just takes the grime off and restores the shine

 

I will look into this product you have shown me though looks good thanks

[GMballistic]

^^ No probs Brett. Just a heads up really.

 

If you're into your car detailing then you can't beat the Meguiars 3 step system. Gives fantastic results but I digress.

[japcarsbrett]

I'm very much into it as i always try and get the best shine , Meguiars is new to me I have never used it, always heard going things about it though. Perhaps I should buy some and give it a go

[tomdotc]

Zed is my only car so yeah, daily it is all year round

[Zhorno]

If I'm lucky once a week

A bit more usage since I sold the Clio, now up to 2 or 3 days a week I guess . Caroline uses her Zed every day for work, 6 miles round journey....I use it at weekends .

My mrs uses hers everyday, she does a 25 mile commute so at least 50 miles per day, plus any social outings. She does sometimes take my 118d, but the zed is still used by me those days

Basically this is exactly our situation too

Use mine daily. Only 20 miles to work and back.

When the weathers really nice, I will be on the cbr instead!

 

[chirag1988]

Unfortunately not it's 0.8 miles from home to work so the baby 1.4tdi polo does the job. However, I work as an estate agent, and sometimes it's nice to pull up at a viewing in the zed just to see the look on the faces of the viewers

Love walking past all the boring cars in the car park to get into the Z. I'm going to take the scenic route home tonight.

Aye man and then the customary "how come you've used over a quarter tank if you've only been to work and back Phil?" When I only work 5 miles away from home!

Yeah you can...

 

 

 

 

Anyway, back on topic (briefly), I used to use the Z daily... right up until I started working from home. It's just not worth getting in the car for that commute any more.

I will still drive the Z any time I can I can think of an excuse to though.
