Should be okay, the SRP might need a bit more elbow grease than usual to break it down but it shouldn't be too bad. Shouldn't affect anything else too much either. Apply in small, overlapping circles, buff off in straight lines. With the wax, you can do two coats (I usually do) or just the one, it's up to you. Regardless of if you're doing one or two coats, you always want to aim for thin, even layers so if you're just doing the one coat don't just slap on "loads" - the second coat is usually (there's a bit of contention about this) to ensure that you get any bits that you missed with the first coat (some think you can layer waxes, others disagree).

I went the other way (oo-er!) started with the PIAA stuff, tried Rainx and went back to PIAA. Duxback looks good though so this may be in contention when (or if) my PIAA stuff ever runs out.

This might be of interest to you; http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/new-products-22ple-vx1-pro-signature-glass-coat.html. I'm not sure it'd eliminate stone chips but it would almost certainly reduce them. Polished Bliss are based in Kintore, if you wanted them to apply it (or detail the car for you) too.

Out of curiosity, does a SAC appear on your license as a conviction just without points? Realistically how would they legally find out if you'd been on an SAC? Attending a SAC is an alternative to the conviction rather than an alternative punishment once convicted. If you are eligable and opt for a SAC, you are never convicted of that (alleged) offence. This means that technically the crime isn't the same as technically the police take no action for the (alleged) offence as you are assumed innocent until proven guilty. Therefore no conviction = innocent as far as any third party (insurer infor example) is concerned from a legal persepective. However, insurance doesn't work in the same way as the law and is based on statistical risk assesment. A history of speeding (perceived/proven/whatever) will no doubt increase the perceived risk, hence higher premiums. Whether an insurer has the right to ask you, I'm not sure. You certainly have the right not to answer (but lying will ultimately invalidate your policy regardless of the question), they then have the right not to offer you a quote. Consider this though, if they have the right to ask you if you have attended a SAC, which is not a conviction, where does that end? Does that mean they can ask you if you've ever exceeded the speed limit but not being caught? It's effectively the same question afterall.

I used those when I had them (as they were free I thought I might as well try them out ), since running out of them I just used a QD and microfiber.

That. But I use my own packets, not those that came with Dblock's sofa.

II have nothing new to add, I just wanted to use this;

Did you try running the 452's in the right sizes to see if made any difference?

One word; insurance. As with an import, generally speaking it'll cost more to insure a cat. C or cat. D car over a straight, UK car. The "worth" of such cars are therefore offset to make that car more appealing to buyers. If I had the option to buy one of two identical cars, one a straight, UK and one an import/cat. c/cat. d, all else being equal. The UK car is going to cost £300 to insure and the other £400, I would always choose the UK car. If the latter car is cheaper though, it then becomes more appealing.

That right there is quite clearly a photograph. Case closed.

Compressed air. The tins you can get for cleaning keyboards and the like should be enough. Disconnect the tubes first though.

Urr, I didn't say it was a good excuse, nor one to be used in defence. More of a reality rather than an excuse. I understood that, I was just saying that in case anyone thought it would be a good idea to use that as a defence.

The only excuse I can think of is you're not paying attention to anything, including your speed. Although if you attempt to use that as a defence to speeding, you're just incriminating yourself for a careless driving charge instead...

No problem

Not done this myself, but there's some advice here and here for you.

I used Japtech in Hull for my last service, I have nothing to compare it to but they seemed fairly clued up on the Z. The last owner used Brian Leighton in Howden and there's a couple of stamps in the book from there. They had a 350Z on the forecourt when I was looking for one (and a couple of 370Z's inside), I can't comment on the servicing department specifically but a couple of guys there seemed to know their 350's and 370's.

Ah, but will Alex let him drive a GT-R?

Thanks, i will give that a try seeing as you have the same colour and year as me Can you only buy the black hole glaze online, as i haven't seen it in shops? http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/poorboys-black-hole-glaze-cat9.html. Free delivery too

I've found that Blackfire products have always brought out the best of black paint, personally.

That. Rinsing the car first just encourages the foam to run off more quickly, if anything.

Snow foam isn't a replacement for actually washing the car. Foaming will remove an amount of dirt in a touchless manner thus reducing the likelihood of causing scratches/marring to the paintwork when it is washed with a mitt afterwards. It does also make the washing easier and quicker too, I find.

He wouldn't have liked it, it's got rear parking sensors so it's not standard enough...

That second picture alone would cast enough doubt in my mind to avoid that dealer altogether. They've not just gone to the effort of reversing the image and then photoshopping the number plate back on so it reads correctly but they've also swapped the rear wiper blade over to the other side. This suggests to me a blatant and intentional attempt to mislead. All IMHO, of course.

My first thought was import. Possibly had the rear bumper replaced for any one of a million reasons. Regarding the wheels, the Rays were an optional extra pre-facelift (I think, may have been up to the HR though), so not all early GT's came with them (later they became standard as part of the GT package though). Could also be that the owner's swapped out the seats, of course, and it's not a GT at all...
