Any recommendations on detailing carts? Worth buying the Griots or Adams ones? Not that they are more expensive than a plain, heavy duty plastic cart - I think they just aren't heavy duty.

Let me know what you get. I got a cheap three tier metal cart from HF and its OK. Not great but OK.

Quite a bit. It’s off the road in the garage. Roof doesn’t close properly and now refuses to do anything with the warning light on. Can’t open the trunk because the roof isn’t fully closed.

May have something to do with Nissan lying about you can raise the roof while moving slowly.... you can’t.

But it is clean.

I clipped a curb which caused the Side airbag curtain to deploy and ended up in the panic of hitting a crash barrier at around 5 -10 mph that caused the pop up bonnet to deploy. Have you ever experienced airbags going off? Insurance company wanted to right it off, but I’ve consulted a body shop and they said it is easily repaired if I get the parts. Expensive parts are the airbag ECUs bit you can have them reprogrammed for £90 instead of spending something like 2K.

Airbags are £40 ish so passenger seat needs repairing which I’ll do with a complete retrim. Adrian Muirhead Black Leather and vented Alcantara.

It’s a 2010 Roadster so carpets weren’t great, but now look showroom. Steam Cleaned Interior, VAX carpet cleaner and a carpet brush attachment on Dual action polisher.
