Spent a few happy hours in the sunshine this morning
Cleaning some of the more "fiddley" parts of the '75
Waiting for some slightly cooler weather now so I can give the engine bay it's annual deep clean (battery box out etc). Cliff

WOW - that's dedication. I must try mine now I have seen yours. What do you use on the door latches? Chrome Polish?

Your 75 is looking as stunning as ever Cliff. I have another job to do as well now having seen the photo of the door catches.

Lovely job - I do clean those areas from time to time - albeit not to that standard - it takes ages and the neighbours start giving odd looks of sympathy as if I've 'lost it'.
Presumably you re-grease the bonnet catches after cleaning? (and the hinges) |

Oh, and yes, both areas regreased after cleaning. But not too much - don't want to attract any unwanted dirt. Cliff

A good improvement there Clyde. Your ZTT gets nicer each time I see it. :-)
