That is actually my normal routine also. I hate drying the car after just using the spray. I ended up using griots speed shine while I was drying it. Not ideal but turned out fine.

i just have two of those miracle towels from chemical guys i use on the gtr when drying. Z gets regular towels for now. i need to place a new order soon.chemical guys have beer scented soap. it'll go great with my stripper scented one i have already.

Adam's Polishes recommends using a cannon for pre-lube, a Mitt with soap/water, a rinse-off, then spray the whole car w detailer and finally wipe clean. I've had excellent results with that, no water spots and I can take my time drying as opposed to frantically wiping it down before it starts spotting.

I have the PSS tires in the garage and just need to be mounted. I keep saying I am going to do that one of these days. :icon17:

i'm still debating on where to take mine.

the shop i always used for the Z hurt them a bit last time. some wonderful employee let 2 fall over on their face which the corners of the sport wheel spoke stick out further than the tire sidewall and rest of the wheel. soooo not taking gloss black painted gtr wheels there.

was thinking nissan garage but idk if they will mount oversized tires.

i have another option someone told me about at cars and coffee over the weekend but it's like 40 min away and not like i can transport the tires in the car lol either would take them off whole leave it on jacks or have someone follow me in the pickup truck.

I am going to try and toss them into the Fit. The shop I use is about 25 minutes away from me but well worth the drive there and back, even if I have to make the trip twice. They take really good care of my stuff.

I'm a huuuuge fan of the Adam's Polishes products; bought the cart and everything. Tip: if you spray detailer all over the car when it's still wet you can just use a bunch of Maguires microfiber towels to dry it off. Works wonders. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6d708af979.jpg

**** that noise! The ***-tech at my local douche-stone used a screwdriver and a mallet to take my weights off, scratched the hell out of the wheels. I took all 4 off the car, drove em back, rolled em into the nearly-full waiting area, and said "fix what you did."

And that's the story of I got four brand-spanking new-looking wheels.

made it to the office. I am here only in case all hell breaks loose. Otherwise I am told I can nap, surf the web, and do whatever SFW activities that float my boat.
My work restrictions came in today and got them to employee health. I get to just sit here and answer the phones.
