Cleaning Z for Japfest....what's the plan?

Hey Guys, just wondered what your plans for preping Zeds for this upcoming Saturday meet are?

 

I took advantage of the nice weather last weekend and gave mine a good clean. Have been driving it this week so most of the good work is undone already :doh: Was planing to take a sneaky bunk off work this Friday to clean again and then probably take a polishing cloth and shine for the stand but now worried about the 'rain' predicted for Saturday morning :scare: Then just took a quick look at some of the other car forums and it seems the Honda type Rs are planning to clean their cars again on the stand. Is that what the Zeds are doing? I don't really have the storage space for a full cleaning kit lol

Ha...don't believe you. Bet you're one of these guys that plays it cool but whips a lint-free cloth out of your pocket everytime someone touches your paintwork ;)

The Japfest routine:

  1. Thoroughly clean car with Megs 3 stage system
  2. Garage car overnight
  3. GF gets massively angry as it takes ages and then we cant use my car
  4. Get up early Saturday morning to find rain
  5. Drive to Combe
  6. Use quick detailer to add shine and some swirls to my nice paintwork ;)

My quick detail bottles arrived today :) (Thank you for the recommendation Payco)

 

Weathers pretty crappy, have the day off tomorrow to fit the final few touches to the car, give it a quick wash, then detail and wax at japfest.

What's the crack with that quick detailer , when do you use it after wash, wax,resin polish ?

It's just a quick wash in a bottle that you rub into the car

Ok, I have been using a really good quality wash/wax but don't have a detailer. Can anyone recommend a good detailer that I could get on the High street (i.e. Halfords)? don't have time to order online.

Megs quick detailer is good if you're in a rush and is available in Halfords
