£200 Car Gets First Clean In Years!

In this video i am getting to grips with the £200 MG ZS!
I start by giving the car a good clean with snowfoam, brushes & a noodle mitt before moving under the bonnet and giving the engine a good clean and de-grease.

After that i get the car on the ramp and inspect the underside in order to tackle and corrosion or rust issues that may be lurking there as well as freeing off those rusty brakes!

Enjoy!

Great vid mate. My favourite part was your dog bringing his toy and patiently waiting for you to throw it, bless him 😂

This is the real meaning of green driving. Restoring and preserving absolutely fine examples of cars that are already existing, instead of scrapping them and contributing to the rapid excavation of cobalt in 3rd world countries, causing a huge impact on the environment. Well done sir!

Love your dog, never leaving his master👏 that’s a good car cleaned up well before prep, nice one mate

[tomwall]

Even today this car really stands out I think alloys mesh grill high spoiler circle headlights and fog lights still looks 👍

[Philljag]

I’ve had many ZR’s and TF’s and In my experience it’s better not to touch the head gasket if it’s still fine.

I love to see the attention to detail.

This Car has aged really well, going to be a great one for the next buyer to try and keep hold of as a bit of an investment

[k.n]

Appreciate the addition of product info in the videos. Keep up the good work 👍

I can already tell this car will come out fantastic

[petercollyer]

Johnny, worth giving the rear trailing arm bushes a look. Known mot issue and a bit of a nightmare job. Just done mine on a rover 214. Car had been driving like a boat 👍

Looking forward to the 12 noon final feature dropping on this MG... (January 14th 2024) has been brilliant to watch from start to finish!

Nice clean up, and great relief to see relatively little rusting underneath, professionally sorted as always. Ref the brakes if the disks are new but just rusted, I'd be tempted to put a few miles on the car then have another look. A change of brake fluid would probably be more in order, good luck with the bleed nipples, though, horrid little buggers 😅😅😅

I was service manager at a MG/Rover dealer for 9 years and re: head-gasket, leave well alone!!

[teaboyuk]

Nice to see jake "helping" again 😊🐶

Another good vlog Johnny, (i look forward to these on sunday now 👍🏻) again its amazing what a deep clean can do for a car. Came up well & as a few others have said it's a nice colour too without the moss & grime. Good luck with the next steps on the mg. Until the next vlog, all the best 👊🏻

Can you do a tool video where you show your current setup as far as tools are concerned. Even power washer setup detailing setup products you use etc! Would love to see it

Greetings from Holland, we watch your channel too!

[zimbabwayne]

[HypnotizinDetailz]

Can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out at the end! 🤩
