If anyone's interested, I've uploaded two short videos from the driver recorder showing Lady Mary (her long bonnet at least) driving along Tokyo expressways, along surface streets through Shinjuku and other parts of Tokyo, and at night on the Wangan Expressway made famous by computer games and films.

Interesting and great videos, thanks for sharing

 

Hi Someday

Amazing Video!

Watching that was quite Scary (lol)

But what did you polish 'Lady Mary' with as She 'Shines like a Star'

 

Thanks! I've only used normal, mid-range polishes on her. Assuming the garage didn't polish her (they did wash her, I think, as she was a bit damp when I came to pick her up), then it would have been several months since her last polish. She was holding up well, I thought. Though the shininess can be annoying when you're driving into the setting sun and it reflects off the bonnet right into your eyes....

I usually use a product called X-MAL 1 (Link in Japanese only sorry: ????????? | ????????). That's what a friend uses on his BMW Z3. But I read some reviews and as a result, bought some Wakos Various Coat (don't blame me, I didn't name it: VAC ??????? - ?????????? | WAKO'S - ??????????), but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

One of these days I'd like to get her a full proper "glass coat" deal. Not so much for the shine, as I generally polish her too much anyway, but for the paint protection.

EDIT: No idea why those URLs went funny. Probably as they're links to Japanese-language sites. They still work, though.

 

I wish I could edit old posts rather than have to reply to it.

Anyway....
My wife made me replace the first video, as you can hear her getting amazed at the size of the buildings in Shinjuku and telling me off for trying to park somewhere too small, so here's the new, re-edited video link:
