BUT looks like you did yourself a good job. pat yourself on the back and get a nice cold one
Very true. Now that I think about it I wouldn't. Never let them(or anyone) work on my cars so I wouldn't let them detail my car. But thanks I'll have a few

Thanks! It was a little bit of both. I was hoping just to use a polish but it didn't cut it on my test spot so I used a compound then polish to get ~98% of the imperfections out.

Speaking of doing things right, I recently purchased a NISMO rear diff cover and figured in for a penny, in for a pound. I just ordered the Whiteline rear diff bushing kit and two bottles of Redline. I considered swapping to solid bushings, but don't think I could live with the resulting noise.

So do people here use their Zed as the daily driver?

Over here in Australia it seems many ppl only have it as a weekend car.

I have been driving mine everyday as my daily car and racked up 6000kms in less than 5 months.

Mine is a weekend car. It's just not practical as a daily for me.
