Modifying our new Suzuki Jimny - Part 2

Welcome back to the Late Brake Show, with a part 2 update on the modifying of the Smith family's project Suzuki Jimny SZ5 (JB74). This was the UK's first privately owned Jimny, purchased in December 2018. Finally, it gets new wheels, all-terrain tyres and some winter ready paint protection (ceramic coating). Plus, as a lot of you ask regularly, Jonny has gone to town on corrosion resistance on the floorpan and chassis of the Suzuki, an easy process that can prolong the lifespan and residual value of newer and classic cars. The underneath is often the forgotten part of a car. Ignore it and the rot will rear its fugly, expensive head...
If you haven't watched the previous installments of the Jimny project, have a watch at the below links:
In this episode the Jimny receives long-lasting ceramic coating paint treatment, rust resisting cavity waxing on the floorpan and chassis, and a long awaited set of fresh wheels and all-terrain tyres.
Purchased in December 2018 after a year of waiting (hounding Suzuki UK), the CarPervert family Jim has covered 17,500 miles and is shortly to require its first MoT test (mandatory every year in the UK for cars under 40 years old).
For the underbody protection Jonny used the following Bilt Hamber products (www.bilthamber.com): Dynax-UB (browny clear), Dynax-UC (clear), Dynax-S50 (for cavities and voids). 750ml aerosol - £14.95.
Wheels are American Racing 'Baja' AR172 in 16 x 8J (0mm offset) and 5 x 139.7. The wheels came from Wheel Pros - www.eu.wheelpros.com
Tyres are General Grabber AT3 in 215/70/16 (www.generaltire.co.uk)
White tyre lettering came from Mr Whitewalls (www.mrwhitewalls.com)

It's been a few years now and I can tell you the Jimny hype has not even slightly wavered. I still get excited every time I see it.

Agreed, and just check the price of second hand, particularly nearly new ones, the prices are eye watering. Demand>Supply = cha-ching.

The Jimny is so fun to drive and own. I know the new/used prices look high, because of demand, but I can still tell you that even paying over the RRP it’s great value if you can appreciate a characterful car like this. There are far worse cars you can spend that kind of money on 🙂

@@pnsp33 thanks, and also that they have sold it as a two seat commercial vehicle to get round that in some ways. Had Suzuki tried a bit harder to fully electrify their other cars this could have been their ICE money-making 'treat'. In a similar way to how the Taycan will prolog the 911 (don't @ me about synthetic fuels)

Thanks so much for entrusting us to work on your Jimny Jonny. It was a real pleasure detailing it for you! The results speak for themselves. We love the wheels and tyres too! So glad the cars protected throughout for the winter months now. We should do a recap video when it’s dirty again to show how easy it is to clean up with all the coatings on it? 😁👌

I concur: I'm a big fan of detail lettering and full on whitewalls... The only thing that could have improved these improvements would have been to have some small and subtle silver or grey pinstriping on the bonnet and tailgate. Maybe not to Chops's taste, though!

@@TheLateBrakeShow New rims certainly an improvement on the factory set, rustproofing the underside and chassis box sections I would say on the new Jimny is very important, looked underneath mine a few weeks ago and was horrified, rust everywhere, even inside the chassis, doesn't appear to be any cavity wax applied at the factory and quite a few areas just have primer on, no body colour topcoat, very poor if you ask me!!

As long time fans of your content we were excited to get involved in this project, it was a long 16-hour detail but the before and after transformation makes it all worthwhile, we love the look on the new wheels. We look forward to following the progress, we should do a re-cap video to show how the coatings work when it comes to repelling road grime, salt and mud.

If anyone finds themselves thinking about buying a new car, the best thing you can do is go have the shit detailed out of your old car first, and give it some fresh tires (or even just make sure they’re properly inflated lol)! If you don’t fall in love with it again (you probably will), it’ll look ace AF for the next owner and bring a good resale value. A few hundred (okay thousand if you go nuts with ceramic coating your wheels lol), is always a great investment - especially if it saves you thousands by not buying a new one!!

I took the plunge in the spring and decided to machine polish and ceramic coat my car. I used the carbon collective pro ceramic range in this vid and I have to say even for non professional, these products are a dream. Comes with plenty of cloths to apply the coating, sturdy bottles and easy to follow instructions on the packaging. I’d also recommend their hybrid shampoo as it helps to protect the coating and improves the already crazy beading/sheeting. Great stuff, really well portrayed in this vid 👍

I had the pleasure of driving one on a Greek island (Kefalonia) for work. I was a Holiday Health and safety advisor. So Knew I needed a four-wheel-drive and when I was presented with the Jimmy it was perfect. 1998 white and never serviced or looked after at all. it was the soft-top version and so basic, but it was invincible indestructible, and ideal. I drove it all over the island out to individual properties so access was a challenge six weeks of bliss ...
