Had a nice trip up to Lancashire today through Bowland. First time venturing out there in the Zed and it was a lovely day, plenty of spots to open the taps, along with a few beautiful slow bits.

Started my summer prep today - a little late to the party I know...
Engine bay and wheel arches got a proper good seeing too with degreaser and then dressing.
The roof got treated with raggtopp.
The body got chemical guys clean slate shampoo, a polish with G techniq P1 compound with a white hex pad (by hand), then a quick layer of detail spray.
Next weekend the refurbed wheels arrive and I can clay polish and wax and sort the inside.
A few pics.

What did you use to dress the engine bay and wheel arches? I need some for both my cars and the product I've tried before ends up leaving streaky marks (autoglym engine cleaner).

I used chemical guys gear head degreaser, seems a lot better at removing grime from the metal parts than AG.
Dressing wise I used chemical guys hyper coat protective dressing. Great stuff, goes a long way too.
I’ve been using a mixture of Swissvax, chemical guys and g tecniq stuff recently.
I’m done for the day now though, started drinking beer whilst waiting for the roof protector to dry between coats it seems it only takes four bottles these days

We took the Z down to Hythe for the weekend. Was a pleasure to drive. Managed 44mpg at motorway speeds which I thought was good
