Well I'm 22 and the fact that I low-sided on a motorcycle(again) while my clavicle was still healing doesn't really help either, but don't tell my doctor.

Anyways, hopefully I'll be back in a couple days, though high on drugs.

I waxed the Z yesterday and thought I share some pictures. I did use RAINX on all the glasses (exterior). Well I was getting streaks with the RainX until someone here told me I wasn't using enough energy to buff the haze out. Well, he was right. This time NO streak, squeaky clean! Drove in the rain today in the morning and it was good! After the wax and rainX, my arm almost went numb!

NO special effect what so ever. Picture came out better than expected.

Uhm, yeah it is.

use the back of your hand and rub across the car while it's wet...if you feel anything, it's crap embedded in the paint that a claybar will take out.

Pictures came out great ak!

Wash to wax - 4 hours.

Find out how long the NXT wax lasts. Then keep on using it to keep your car protected.

Sounds dumb but its going to be a constant war trying to keep things off your clear coat. I had no idea gas could possible eat our clear coat, but i have only accidently let a drop hit once but i wiped it off quick for fear of staining the cars paint.

I do know if you have bug guts on your car and its big and yellow, i have found the yellow bug guts are the most acidic and eat threw every thing quick, remove those fast.

Great job, man. I've used Meguiar's products on all my cars (all have been Black; '05 IS 300 and now an 06 330xi), and there's nothing better. I'm a weekend warrior with my detailing, it's good to see it being well used on a 370z! I hope to use my Porter Cable + all my goodies on a new 370z soon, too!
