So whilst Arsenal are hopefully getting outplayed once again , I thought id update the journal with some more new arrivals for the blue beast. Gradually ever since all the silver parts on the Z have dissapeared the one thing thats stood out and annoyed me was the door handles, decided i wanted them gloss black to match everything else. I have to say a big thank you to Matt (Mattross) as he lent me his spare set so i could get mine sprayed and still use the car daily, thats why this forum is great when people are prepared to help one another and not just give advice/opinions
Fitted the handles last night and cleaned the car today as it needed it badly since that smog layed a thick layer of sand on it.
Cleaning process as follows:
Rinse car first then apply snow foam (with a cap of DJ BTBM),
Wash wheels/calipers and tyres with Envy wheel cleaner and 1" brush,
Rinse car then wash with 2BM and Envy shampoo,
Use Envy APC with 1" brush in petrol cap enclosure, door handles, wing badges and repeaters, window seals and all nooks and crannies,
Rinse car then apply Megs last touch detailer as drying aid,
Dry car using CG wooly mammoth,
Dry wheels then apply Poorboys wheel sealant,
Buff Poorboys off and apply Autosmart highstyle dress to tyres,
Apply Zaino Z8 sealant to car and buff off,
Polish headlights with Megs metal polish,
Megs metal polish on backbox and tips
Stand back and admire a nice shiny clean car
Gloss black door handles and a nice polished lock barrell (Yes anal i know but whilst its out )
Also managed to finally get hold of an oil catch can that ive been after for a while, i wanted a proper baffled one so it actually served a purpose as opposed to engine bay bling, Vlad was selling his so i snapped it up, found suitable blue vacuum hose to go with it. Will be fitted next weekend
Then off to the Zed shed for the oil cooler fitting and stereo mod, then go to Abbey to get the Uprev tweaked. All before Japfest and another Nurburgring trip in June
Thanks for continuing to read folks, stay tuned
Cheers
Arran
