Nissan 370Z Forum - JARblue's Album: Adams Metal Polish

I am quite happy with the results. This stuff definitely works better than any metal polishing products I tried previously. In fact, they never worked, which is probably the reason my exhaust tips got as dirty as they did.

Here is a close up after an initial clean with Windex


And here are the final results :tup:

Installation 3M Clear Bra Paint Protection Tampa, FL

this store, i think (but best to check), only sells xpel. but from one of the xpel sponcers of this site, i think he mentioned that the self-heal ones end with a part number with -U.

so if you're into that stuff, you can try ordering from autopaintguard. :)

one thing to note though, the last xpel i did on my Z's rockers yellowed within 2yrs. it couldve been old stock, not sure. the xpel i did on a dark blue car in the past had no visible yellowing even after 6yrs. :tup:

oh, and one thing to note about clearbra install... it's normal to pull and stretch the bra a tad when doing the bumper. they will be pre-cut a tad shorter on purpose and you pull on it to reach the ends.

after a while, it's easier to just get a generic roll and cut as one applies it, and tuck the ends into the nooks or over the fender or bottom panels. just a fuller, cleaner install that way.

Nothing wrong with enjoying car modding. Investment in happiness!



It's always an interesting topic to see what people would have done differently.

Sometime I wonder that the thing I do today, will I think back in 10,20,30 years and think I could have done it differently ,better even.

i want an s15 spec r sylvia and r33/34 gtr in my dream garage


yah, my '12 honda fit is (if i can count correctly) is the 21 or 22nd car... in the last 10-11yrs.

I've "had" (first two my parents bought/helped pay for) three cars in 12yrs.

I need to up my game.

ive owned 4 cars at a time so i kept rotating the older dd and kept my hobby car maybe 3-4yrs. it was fun and all, but wouldve been much better had i bought a car that was a tad over my budget, yet kept it longer.
