Hi all
Just curious about the following:
1. How often do you wash your datsun?
2. Is your Datsun a daily,weekender,racer or rally car?
3. What car shampoo do you use?

Mine is as follows:
1. Once a month depending on dust and
windy conditions.Or under good
conditions once every two months.
2. Weekender.No driving in wet conditions.
3. I use a south african car product called
Rally car shampoo. Also use the Rally car
wax.
Wanna try Meguiars sometime in the future.

I wash my car before every race meeting, if it's lucky it may get some polish too.
The scrutineers tend to look at grubby cars a little closer, not that they'd find anything wrong

Yea, mine was also a daily until I saw how it got new marks and small scratches onto the paintjob every month or so. So I decided to make it a weekender. Managed to remove most of the scratches with car polish as they were only surface scratches.
I try and wash as little as possible. Rather drive with a layer of dust than wash because I noticed some rust spots appearing.
Not big, very small.
Example the following places:
When opening the boot, all around the outside where the seams are welded together there are little bit of rust appearing.
The seams that are on each side between the bootlid and the back window. They fill them up as I understand with liquid lead.
Well, mine is make hairline rust here.
And then hairline rust marks in the water channel that are running on each side of the roof.
That's about it that I can remember.
It is mostly on the seams. Polish them often to prevent them from growing bigger.Looks like it helps.
