Hi all, I've now picked up the Z32 and had a very enjoyable drive back home. A much more comfortable experience than the drive up in my 370!

No big rush as it had a good clean before I picked it up, but just looking for any recommendations on products that you all enjoy. I've seen some very shiny Zeds during my scrolling on the forums and I'm hoping to get mine looking just as good

Glad to hear you're enjoying 300zx ownership...... You have to post some pictures, it's pretty much mandatory on here 😁

As for cleaning products, I am a big fan of Chemical Guys and Auto Finesse products. Both are now available in Halfords, albeit they are often cheaper on Ebay etc. And as for the every day brands, you can't go wrong with Autoglym - they may not be the best available, but at least most of their stuff does what it should.

I have also been using Gtechniq of late and am very impressed.

So my go-to products:

Shampoo - either Simoniz with carnauba wax or, if I don't want to add wax, Chemical Guys Maxi Suds. Or Autoglym Bodywork Conditioner in winter, when the car is really dirty...
Compound - Meguairs Ultimate
Polish - can't go wrong with the old staple, Autoglym SRP
Paint sealant - Chemical Guys Jet Seal
Wax - varies; sometimes Graphene, sometimes Valet Pro Beading Marvelous. Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax is good too.
Detailing spray - can't go wrong with Autoglym Rapid Detailer
Quick spray wax - Auto Finesse Glisten or Chemical Guys Blazing Banana (wear gloves with that, or your hands will turn yellow LOL)
Rapid ceramic spray - Gtechniq C2 (this stuff is awesome, quick to apply after washing, and it enhances your paint protection leaving an amazing shine!)
Glass - Gtechniq Perfect Glass
Interior (dash) - Megiaurs Kwik Interior Detailer
Interior (carpets and fabric) - Ambersil Groom or Autoglym Interior Shampoo
Leather - Autoglym Leather cleaner for a rapid wipe down; or Gliptone for a proper conditioning treatment once a year
Wheels (cleaner) - Wonder WHeels Colour Active
Wheels (protector) - Supaguard Alloy Protector
Tyres - Autoglym Bumper & Trim gel or Turtle Wax Wet-N-Black

Hope that helps.....!!
