I totally understand Gaz, not having a garage and having to leave the old girl out in the rain, especially through the winter months grates on me no end, the constant cleaning really sucks. You feel like getting rid so you don't have the problem, less work = less stress type of thing.

Your ZT Gaz is pristine, looks in far better condition than mine. My old girl is suffering from old paint now, this solar red paint is awful to look after. The roof and boot is fading to pink, and the passenger side front and rear doors have paint blisters smack-bang in the centre (this is the side that always gets full sun).

The bonnet has what looks like small chickenpox (dimples) within the paint, every time I clean the old girl I see more and more paint defects popping up, we are fighting a losing battle it seems Gaz.
