Finished Zymoling it today with some Titanium Wax and took some photos.

Very nice looking motor,whats wrong with the build?

Might be worth entering Zymol's monthly "just waxed" comp

Looks great mate. A friend of mine said he has seen a red Tam in Bath. Is that you?

Looking great Stuart - time to head out and have some fun methinks.

How about you head on over my way and show me how the experts polish a car whilst I sit back and take notes

Rofl thanks guys :-)

I'm not in bath Im just outside London nearish Heathrow way but other side of M25....

It's when its all shiney you can ignore the ickle problems.

I am just about to put a second coat of titanium wax on the front half as Zymol do say that it protects it form stone chips...

Oh my God it's devastatingly gorgeous!

Utterly PERFECT colour combo. Bra-sodding-vo!!!

[Aside: Have read much about the Tam's preference for 16" rather than the (admittedly wonderful looking) 18s...any comments?]

Ok, back to some more slurping dribble...

Not a chance in hell im afraid to say,but the shine will look better/deeper and last a bit longer

See the thread below "Brad" works for Zymol

Hey Derestrictor - thanks for the compliments!!

I never tried in with 16 inch wheels, to be honest I find the 18 inch wheels look great and no probs with steering feedback, have to be careful kerbing them though - see my other thread!!

As for the color combo - am thinking of changing the interior to Cream . Red full hide as it needs to go back to the factory for a retrim as there is glue evrywhere.

Cheers

Looks awesome in the (nimbus?) grey already!

Btw, Stuart - there's no way you could get yourself to Bruntingthorpe on October 12th, is there? I'm ACHING to get Tamora'd!

Cheers

Various PHers will be convening for a day of v-max attainment (and a bit of wheel work too!); there's a good spread of high fat cheddar on offer, notable inclusions hopefully including a very black Diablo VT, the odd prancing donkey, one or two fire breathing Ultimaic devices and of course, Noble's very own PR guru, the inimtable Joust McTron himself, always happy to invoke an unseemly torrent of expletives from unwary punters!

Naturally, there will be a reasonable brace of overly salted pork meats to taste and this time with a possible 560 bhp's RUF AND lighterweight GT2 threatening to show up, 200 mph might be a radar verifiable possibility...

However, the prescence of some of Blackpool's finest should be mentioned also; Jeremy C's fabulous Cerbera needs some companionship and whilst it would be nice to see a Tuscan S mount a serious assault on the straight, something Tamoraic - especially something as sparkling as your own chariot - would be HUGELY welcome.

(But these are just platitudes: like I said, I'm just desperate to have a go - So bring it - PLEASE!)

Fantastic! E-mail CraigW - it's about £150 for the day and is worth every penny.

Really laid back atmosphere, plenty of opps for passenger rides out, photos and polite conversation with people demonstrating a dangerous propensity for rat burger.

Not to mention many, many opportunities to explore your own vehicle's throttle travel in an unpressured environment.
