Waxed my 370Z today

[AK370Z]

Since I'm getting tint tomorrow, I thought it will be a good idea to give the Z a good wash and put some wax on. I used the Mcguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0. I was very surprised how easy it was to work with. Shine wasn't too bad either. I bought an applicator pad with handle to make my job easier.

Upon washing my car I made a very frustrating discovery. I am not sure if it's just Monterey blue or all colors, but there were two small (1" x 1") area on my hood and right rear fender where paint lost it's clearcoat and I can visibly see some cracked paint . I am going to wait and see if that happens in any other spots. I'll take some pictures in daylight tomorrow.

Here are some pictures

First some evening pictures with sun out (from sony camera, regular shutter speed)






Reflection


Not too bad for a quick wax.










Some nighttime pictures with various shutter speed (1.5 sec to 7 seconds). NO enhancement was done. I just uploaded them as is.













I'm starving now! I am going to get some KFC and then install the LED license plate bulbs!
