Good morning all.

one of my pet hates is a dirty windscren and i spend allot of time trying to keep my daily 32 glass clear.
as with allot of older cars the glass is littered with marks, fine scratches and little nicks.

I have seen people removing these with 0000 steel wool and other polishing methods.
to the guys in the know, before i potentially damage my glass, whats the best method?

yeah i have claybared it before and that gets the usual shit off it. im more interested in removing the small scratches left by the wipers and just by general micro nicks and scratches that the sun picks up.

Did the "how to super clean your windshield" today as I was already detailing my 32/4door.

All glass is crystal clear. :thumbsup:

The steel wool does not remove scratches. I still have them on my rear door glass.

Previously I have bought a powder and liquid combo and used my polisher. Took some of the very very minor ones out but not most.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
