Are you OCD about a clean Z?
 
I am just checking to see how many folks are a little over the top on a clean Z car? I have been known to be a little over the top. LOL

Have you ever washed your car in the rain?
Yes, I have several times.

Have you ask your wife/girlfriend to beat their feet off before getting in?
Yeap, I am guilty as charged.

Have your girlfriends ever had a name for you that pertains to your clean
issues?

Yes, My nickname was Mr. Clean for a while and I am not bald. :)


Post up some of the crazy things that you have done due to your cleanliness issues. It's all in good fun.

I used to be like that in my 350z but, I really don't have the time to wash and detail the 370z every weekend like I used to.

My cars dirty as hell cause I'm not washing it till I buff the paint out. So no I'm not to ocd about mine.

Mine is pearl white so it gets dirty quite easy. Rains everyday here in FL. Spend atleast three hours a week on my day off to wash and clean it. Always tell EVERYONE to watch their feet. They also make door handles for a reason. Don't even think about shutting my door with the glass. :) List goes on and on.

The wife woke up at 3am calling me to ask where the "f" are you and what the "f" are you doing... My reply... Honey I'm down stairs cleaning my car. Lol. I have cleaned my car in the rain. I clean it every day. Sometimes twice a day. I bought over 300$ worth of cleaning supplies the first week I had the car. You won't find so much as a water spot or dust not even in the engine bay. It's called pride of ownership! When you have the kind of money we spend on our cars invested it's a must. Hey its a Z thing some people just don't get it!

LOL, I was waxing mine until 3:00am the Saturday I got it. I was out of buffing compound to polish it. I will get to that later. I have had to park some of my craziness so folks can deal with me.....

Wife doesn't complain, her car is almost always immaculate and she doesn't lift a finger.

falconfixer 07-20-2014 01:22 PM

I had a black Camry before my PW z. Black is a little worse to keep clean. I feel your struggle.

Last time I washed my Z with a hose was 3-4yrs ago after doing tire comparisons in the rain.

The trick is not to get the car dirty and qd often.

milko002 07-20-2014 04:30 PM

I wash my Z every other day. My wife has to come into the garage sometimes at 3 am when I using my orbital buffer to tell me to shut the F*** up and go to sleep. I look at her a say WHAT ? I cant hear you as I'm still buffing away. But I can read her lips . Also, my wife has to put her purse in the trunk so the interior wont get scuffed or scratched up. No eating or drinking in the car. She cant roll down the window because I don't want dust getting in . I have mats on top of my mats. I have a paint brush in my glove box so I can get the dust out of certain areas.


I know. I really need help.

You and me both sir, i too am guilty of purse in the trunk, no eating/drinking, and no rolling down windows in the Z.

Never thought about the paint brush though... :stirthepot:
