I wouldn't. It's pretty much a recipe for a sandblaster.

Why do you say this?

water spots
 

Do not wash a section at a time. Soap the whole car, its ok if some areas dry. Then rinse and dry. This reduces water spots drying on earlier areas. This from Adams Products DVD.

Awesome! Thanks.. Never knew of such a thing.:tiphat:

I have been detailing Black cars since the early 1980's...

Never in the Sun and with Cool paint, do what Roadster says..

No circular motions..Side to side...

And i have used a pre cleaner #7 to get rid of smog and grease haze on older black cars..Then lay the #26 carnuba on...I do it to my older car, but may not use the pre cleaner on the 370Z..

Once you can detail black cars to have no grease or swirls in the paint with the sun beating down on it, any other color is easy..

IMHO, once you let soap dry on the car, you are in trouble...Sure you can #7 and then wax it out, but I would never ever wash the whole car at once....

You take the chance of soap drying on paint, chrome, windows..


Not in 35 years plus..IMHO:tiphat:

The Z/28 has 28 year old paint...

Huh? Never do what? Wash a car, keep it wet throughout the process and dry it with a leaf blower?

That '71 Z/28 is gorgeous would love to see more pics. Was always one of my favorite cars.

Sorry...:rofl2:

Never wash it in the sun...Yes on the keeping it wet through out the process, and yes on using the leaf blower to get most of the water off..

Thanks. I will post more when I detail it soon. I just got it out of the Muscle car shop, and I am getting it ready for a local Car show..

Gotta say....I love the 370Z..Inside and Out...Loved my 350Z, but the 370Z ? Oh Yea...

Who said to wash it in the sun :icon17:

I disagree. Ive tried what Adams how to DVD said and it works. Its ok to let soap dry, it wont cause spots like water will. I wonder whos more correct?

Your car looks Killer, so what ever you are doing is working fine..

I just thought I would throw my .02 cents in, that's all..I sure don't have the magic way, I just do what I do and it works...

We all have ideas, and each person reading can decide for themselves.. I plan to steal some of the ideas you guys have on Detailing , modding, ect...

That is why it is cool to share ideas..But again, your car is Black, and looking Sweet, so there is the proof right there..

Excellent choice by the way.

I have one of these:

How well does that work? Anyone have any experience say comparing a leaf blower compared to one of those metro air blaster units? Are they really that much better?
