The ZT-T 400 isn’t too shabby underneath too

- Wax as needed.

Before the hand wash, I'd recommend Iron fall-out remover is applied to the wheels and bottom half of the body, this will remove the bonded contaminants that a clay bar is unable to remove. After claying I then re-wash the car.

Hi Cliff,

The V6 engine was recently out of its bay and a toothbrush would have come in handy detailing and scrubbing it up. Unfortunately I wasn’t there at the time. I wanted to ask you how you keep your alternator casing looking so gleaming?

That looks scary Phil. Glad it all came good in the end though .

Alternator is just metal polish, wire wool, and a little bit of patience. Easy compared to what you have jus had done .
