this is the sealant, and a lot cheaper than the Zymol

Thanks Stu. You did know I was kidding of course .

Your cars are a credit to you, only wish I had the time and undercover space to get even a quarter of the finish you get.

Never tried wax over sealant (that I am aware of anyway). Current wax is the trusty Collinite 476s.

Love it Stu, absolutely love it... and to have owned it for 12 years is simply brilliant.

I so wish I had a garage Stu, I have the room for one, I just need planning.

I would love to garage my ZT and MGF, would love to keep them both safe and warm at nights. lol

Here's my MGF, you've obviously seen it already on the other thread, not as pristine as yours though.

That is looking 100% better already than when you first got it, and with time and patience that will be one stunning car. It is a credit to you, well done so far.

I am very fortunate to have the Man Cave, and count myself very lucky to have it, but when we purchased the house, (24 1/2 years ago) that was one of the proviso that I had, and SWMBO wanted a decent size kitchen, and a few other things.

I keep the MGF on one side, and the other side is occupied by the new XKR, so the soft tops cars live indoors, and the hardtop cars live outside, and they get cleaned regularly


Just keep up the work on the MGF, and you will get there, and it is nice to own two Red MGs

Thanks Stu

I do have a soft spot for red cars as you most probably have guest. It all stems from my Ford Capri days, and I have always wanted a red Ferrari 348.

There is just something about a red car with a cream/tan interior, I'm yet to find my cream/tan interior though...

Thanks appreciated. I did not get to the Durham MG Club meet last night, as we had the heating engineering in house, fitting new hot water tank, as old tank(3 years old) was leaking, and he started at 0830 hrs, and did not leave until around 2115 hrs last night, so couldn't really go to the club night, but have cleaned car ready for Castle Howard on Sunday, and will put some fuel in one day this week

Also seen a picture of your MG TF on facecloth from the show on Sunday and it looks stunning

Stu
