Decent weather
 
So spent a couple of hours cleaning the Cat, and plan to do the ZT tomorrow

Not too bad for a couple of hours work, washed, clayed and it needed doing, polished and then a coat of wax to finish

Up to your usual standards I see :bowdown:.

It's nice to have a little bit of spring weather for a change. Finally managed to complete a light machine polish of my V6 today. Just got all the detailing to do now :}.

Just seen it, and Know what you mean, but I am disappointed, as wanted to do the Blue ZT today, but weather is constant rain, so will have to wait until the weekend,, and that will be the last detail of the car, before it goes to its new owner

then will have to do the newish car that I am getting towards the end of the Month, and will post up some pictures when I have given it the first clean

This weather is so frustrating. I started the machine polish on Saturday, and had to wait 'till today to finish. Looking at the forecast, I may have to wait until Thursday now before I can continue on with the rest.

Such a shame you had to sell the ZT, the new owner has got themselves a very special car. Having said that though, I've now doubt you'll enjoy the replacement just as much, and I look forward to seeing how it progresses once you get your hands on it :}.

Yesterday it was a lovely day and I managed to polish most of my project car then this morning it was back to the midst of winter weather so I got noth8ng done.
Roll on the end of the month then it should be nice.:cool:

Decent Wether
 
Since it was quiet dry, I took the Jag to my friendly mechanic, turbo Dave, and he fitted my new recently refurbished Callipers, disks and new EBC green stuff pads to the front and new disks and pads to the rear, and did it in about 3/4 hour, and very happy with the results, but the car got dirty, as it is a bit muddy having to go down to his place, so that means will have to give it a clean again tomorrow

Changed disks from the standard 326mm and upgraded to 355mm disks and the stopping power is considerably better

So tomorrow, need to clean the ZT and the Jag

Got the ZT Cleaned
 
Well spent a few hours cleaning Blue Moon, washed, dried, clayed, and then given a nice coat of Topaz Polish, and tomorrow will give it a coat of wax ready for the new owner to collect on Wednesday

Decent Weather
 
Well the ZT has had its last coat of wax that it will get from me, and hopefully new owner will cherish the car.

But onwards and upwards, as I am going down to Coventry early on Friday morning to collect the newer car that I am purchasing, and that will get the full detailing it deserves, once it is back on my drive, and in the Man Cave, and then over the next few weeks, will get a full and comprehensive detailing

If I get the chance post up some picture of the before and after treatment on the newer car

Stu

PS a small clue to the newer car is that it has the letter 'B' in it

It looks stunning Stuart, I'll bet the new owner will be well pleased.

I think the new car could be an MGB GT.
