Ceejay29 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 After reading a few detailing posts and the guide, I decided to ditch some of the basic products I have been using for years and invested in some recommended ones and I am over the moon. Again another big thumbs up to the guys who provide information and advice on this forum So I spent a few hours on the beast and here are the results and products used; Mer High Shine Shampoo Meguaris Clay Bar Kit Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite Dodo Juice Purple Haze Wax Afterwards I decided to remove the rear Nissan burger for a black Z burger, which funnily enough I now do not like, and have been left with copious amounts of glue and adhesive material. What can I use to remove it? I have tried hot soapy water, picking at it and credit cards etc, I presume white spirit will damage the body work? Also is it possible to buy the 'Z' badge alone as I will stick that on and go for a flusher look which should also cover the two holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Tar and Bug remover Car look great BTW Unless some one has a spare one, you will need to get the set. Have you thought about the liquid art ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Excellent work, well worth the effort... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks. I only held it up in place and immediately decided that I did not like it, the standard Nissan one looked much nicer IMO. Now I am unfortunately left with a thick glue/material mark where a badge once was and its proving to be a sod to remove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Tar and Bug remover That. Tardis is my preferred choice. Alternatively heat the glue (with a hair-drier or such) which will make it slightly easier to pick off Car look great BTW That too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Tar and Bug remover, thanks. Do you know if this is available from Halfrauds? Yeh, I cant justify spending around £40+ on a 350z set and throwing most of it away. Liquid art ones? Do you know of an example or trader who stocks them?

kris Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Dodo juice is good stuff, I've been using light fantastic for a long time and I love it. I've also started applying it bare hand and find it works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Bare hands? How come, for softer palms, fingertips and knuckles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceejay29 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think they are centre cap stickers. Potentially 19" BMW wheels as it has had a Nissan to BMW PCD adapters fitted (whatever that is - previous owners description). I have a feeling this could become confusing if and when I change the wheels. Spacers are fitted all around and its stanced on Eibach Pro Street Coliovers, so it is pretty hard to establish how low it is. It was a lot lower when I bought it, couldn't get over speed bumps or get it on our ramp at the garage! Looked sweet, but extremely unpractical and a pain in the arse to work on! Needless to say, we raised the ride height to what it is now. Will probably drop it again for japfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
