So after moving earlier in the year life afforded me the luxury of a garage. I don’t really drive my coupe in the winter months anyway so I decided to sorn it a do a winter detail on the car.
Sadly I didn’t get pics of everything, but here is a little write up on what I done.

So firstly up an import part of any detail. The 2 bucket wash. I used garage therapy decon soap.

Next I polished the headlights with scholl s20 on a an 3 inch pad with a mini da polisher. You may notice the bumper is off the car as 2 headlight jets packed up, they was surprisingly expensive.

Top work, car looks great

I've seen some of these products on Paul Dolden Detailing and Forensic Detailing YouTube channels. Intrigued by the Tac Systems Moonlight, very expensive. Is it any good ?

Moonlight is great stuff a bottle will last you years and it’s also very easy to use. I rate it highly

After washing the underneath of your stunning Zed, did you take it out for a spin to dry out the brake calipers. Worth doing if the car is being layed up for some time as they do like to seize up if left wet.
Ask me how I know...
