Hi all, I have spent the last 2 days cleaning the ZT, I did a 4 hour stint with a machine polisher to shine the paint and remove any imperfections and then another 3 hours with blackfire gloss enhancing polish topped with a wet look sealer, the car now looks almost showroom condition but being silver it does not have the wow factor of darker colours, when I do the Merc (midnight blue) it looks as though the paint is still wet. Now I really do want a dark coloured 2.5, Anyone want a mint, silver 1.8.

I have a Royal Blue zt, you're more than welcome to give that the full treatment. I'll even drive it up to you.

I wouldnt mate you only got to look at my car the wrong way and it will scratch I think the paint is to thin as its so easy to scratch, it does look good though when polished up but on close inspection is a diff matter..
