Video debut for my white Z.

[madda]

This is just a sneaky peak of the full video promotion for my mates business which centered around the Z.

Not my music taste, but the filming is superb and there is still drone footage etc to build into the final cut.

Give him a follow, it will be appreciated; he looks after all my cars

Looks fantastic - we need some before and after shots!

Your car looks great but tbh I wouldn't want a pressure washer near my Z. I get nervous when I see rain coming

Tbh, I would hate to see the state of your paint. I have got another car that was 'treated' to dry washing only by the previous owner and it took a huge amount of correction to get the paint anywhere near right.

I do avoid salty months and try not to get caught out in the rain, but the Z remains one of the cleanest I have seen despite actually being used and washed regularly.

When you say 'dry washing' - what do you mean?

Just seen the video - what a great looking car! White really suits the shape I think.

When I saw the foam gun I was kinda hoping some girls would make an appearance so I'm feeling a little disappointed. Car does look good though.

In all honesty I'm not too sure. I guess he used the waterless wash / quick detailer to stop it getting wet. It looked ok on a full day but get it under good lighting and it was swirl heaven.

Here's a 50/50 of it.



Jake, what do you do to clean yours?

Nah, I use warm water & zymol, followed by Meguiar's deep crystal carnauba wax. I also always use new micro fibre cloths & a fresh sponge(applied very lightly). All water gets applied by sponge & never under pressure as it'll find it's way into any holes, gaps & such. Pressure washing is notorious for getting water into places you don't want it. Also if you've got a cheap or old paint job the is a chance it'll blow the paint off if the pressure is to high. I must admit I do sometimes use Turtle wax Waterless wash on the sills & behind the wheels(brake dust & such(not inside the arches)) if I'm away from home and It's got a bit mucky.
My paint job feels beautiful & smoother than a babies bottom
I'm also going to have a crystal glass coating applied to the paint in June. It protects the paint, stops dirt & grime sticking to the paint and makes it shine like a chrome

I should add I'm shooting a new video for mine very soon. I've written & recorded the track, it's called 'Straight Six' and have the locations sussed. Just waiting on some better weather so we can get the filming done, then I can crack on with the edit & production.

Nice!

...and up for a smooth off anytime!

My old Mustang had paint like glass (half the reason I sold it) and it never saw water except the kind that fell from the sky sometimes ...

I used the detailer and various cloths etc - and after five years the paint was still extremely good, ie it didn't need a machine polisher on it or anything ...

Now I have the Z with a so-so US respray (!) I find it effortless to live with and so much less stressful.

I used to do part-time detailing myself. Products that we found really useful were:

Clay mitt (something good Halfords sell!):

Citrus pre-wash (to degrease before waxing):

Snow Foam (PH neutral):

(TBH, most of the Valet Pro stuff is pretty good!)

Iron X (for wheels mostly)

If you need any pointers or kit, give me a shout, its sort of what I do for a living.

Same here been a gigging musician all my life & filling in the gaps by working as an audio & video engineer. These days I own and run an audio/video studio so I can cut back on the rock n roll life style on the road
Saying that if you did want to get involved in the project that's cool. I'm actually shooting 3 different videos of my Z based on 3 different styles of music. All original stuff.
