Ask one of the lads here. I'm sure they would love to come and polish your body work. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

But seriously, when my car is clean.... I use Turtle Wax Emerald Finish. It does come up good, although I also hear some good things about Wonderwax.

The trick is to take your time, thoroughly clean your car and then only wax it when it's dry.

You could also try the Wax on Wax off technique. That way, at the same time you learn self defence. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif

Hi SuzyQ, and welcome http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

To keep your car shiny for ever (or thereabouts)
1. Never take it through a car wash
2. Wash it often (by hand, using car shampoo - not fairy liquid)
3. Wax it at least once a month
4. but tyre shine on the tyres - It really finishes it off

Hard work, but it does the job http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Welcome Suzy

first of all where u from
and what 200sx do u drive, S13 or S14

if thats confused u already, what reg is ur motor?

As for cleaning, I personally avoid the carwash and have not used it on my 200

Stick to a good ol' bucket of warm water, some simple Halford Car Shampoo and a good ol sponge and put ya back into it girl and give it a good scrub http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Welcome to the site!

how long u had your car?

Hi Suzy,
Welcome on this international Board!
Like sais Jackal, time is the important thing.
I will not be of much use to you, as we don't have here the same products as you...
But I can give you a tip for the alloys:
I use oven (owen? #"$@!!! don't remember the word!! - the cube in your kitchen where you put things to cook in!) ...
Well, oven cleaner do it very well on the alloys, and is way far cheaper than alloy-specific cleaner you can buy in specialized shops.
Don't forget to wash very well your alloys after that. The result is really impressive.

Hope it helps (and you understood my English!)

Cheers

Fabien

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'll stick to 'Muc Off', you can get it in bike shops ( I do a bit of mountain biking to keep my legs in trim).

Muc off is pink (very girlie really) and is fantastic and is NOT harmfull to you skin. Go and try it !

I always uses the autoglym, very good polish, though it does require some elbow greese to put on and take off. The results are well worth it though......

s13 and s14 are the 2 types of 200SX.
s13 is the "old shape 200sx"
It has pop-up lights (and is much more beautiful than s14s http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif), while s14 has "normal" lights (and is much less beautiful than a s13 http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif)
Of course, there are other discrepancies, like the engine, but nothing important for a bird http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Just joking s14 guys -keep smiling!-

Auto glym range - very good, if not a little expensive. Tend to use products by a company called auto smart personally.

Not tried the wheel repair stuff.

Hi SuzyQ

Good to hear from you, I'm not far away over in Farnborough. So along with similar cars and an interest in mountain bikes.....what else do you do ?

I don't suppose you like fast motorcycles to ?

You drive the later model S14a which has a more aggressive look at the front (which I think is better looking) , to be exact, its a face lift of the original S14.

Earlier versions are known as S13, styled more like a coupe which have pop up headlights a bit like the Toyota MR2. I you know what they look like.

there's nothing wrong with the earlier S13.

Especially when its Bayside Blue (probably the best colour and only one on the board http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif)

Aren't I the lucky one ? In these days of equality shouldn't it be you who offers to take me to dinner ?

SuzyQ - Welcome to the board - Your response to the rear end action post has broken new ground for this board and will probably ensure you get plenty of responses!!!

I wish to pick your local knowledge (or that anyone else within the vicinity for that matter)

- Do you know of decent tyre supplier local to guilford as I now work in Cobham and need a new set of tyres V. soon and my weekends have been too busy to get it done back in Essex?

I've been enjoying rear end action of a different kind!

Hey Billy_Bob, I like to be treated like a lady, at least in public.

So, anyone else out there live close to me (Guildford area) and fancy treating me right ? and we can talk about car and bikes too, I love to ride hard !

Seems to be going off topic here. If you can't be bothered to polish it yourself - and with British weather like it is, I am sometimes one of them, a decent car valet service helps. Got mine valeted a fortnight ago and it came up a brilliant white.

Other tips, keep wax off the windows. You can get glass polish, but I always use Windowlene, or professional Glass cleaner (You can pick this up from any glass company) Clean glass always adds the finishing touch.

And yes, only an idiot would tyre slip his tread.

Believe it or not, I have done this once with a Compact Disc repair kit. It needs reapplying every now and then, but does the job.

[Johnny]

likewise Brasso does a great job on scratched CD's ..... doesnt work on windscreans though http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif

[JackaL]

Definitely right, not enough women here at all - which is odd because the Nissan salesman told me that most S14's are bought by middle age women http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/redface.gif

What does that make me?

I guess that's the cheapest group to be in for insurance - unlike me!

[SteveSadler]

You've obviously got taste SuzyQ, seeing as your driving a 200sx

Can I just ask, what made you choose a 200sx?

Why not the usual girlie car like a Punto or Clio etc etc? http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif Sorry if I sound sexist http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif. But I dont see many women drivin 200sx.

There only a few ladies on the board from what I can gather

Catherine
Louise
and now yourself?

sorry if I've missed any other females out!!

How could you forget Sal?

And isn't the 200 considered a hairdresser's car?

I bought the 200 off my 'ex' when we split up in the summer, simply really, I knew it from new, he wanted to sell it, I had got rid of my company car and needed some transport.

Currently not looking for boyfriend, I am having a whale of a time playing the field and being 'ladish' !!!

Spoofing IP addresses is not as difficult as it sounds, although I don't know how to do it, I saw it done when we had our Network penetration tested.

Nathan's IP was completely different, whereas Suzy's changed, but only the last byte, which rules out a proxy server.

DHCP! They may have the same ISP! Not trying to defend anyone, but every dicussion needs an answer for both sides.

B.T.W. I have a static I.P address configured on my laptop, but how many I.P addresses have you seen on the similar ones with the most posts. Don't want to give my subnet away.

[Richy_Boy]

Geeze its easy to play with IP addresses so no one ever spots ya! If only the last bit changed then something 'fishy; is going on, as this could be ANYWHERE in the world, but just so happens..

I think they are on a network running DHCP, no NAT (as this would make it look the same IP), and just logging off their network.. releasing the IP (unless specified to keep for X days).
