That's the truth. I just had a small sample size (7 oz I think) and it's more than half gone after one use on the Z. Still, If I get a full size bottle, it should last about a year since I won't be using it during the full wash, clay, and wax sessions.

So I don't think the wrap is sticking very well.

Mr. JAR - now that my work schedule is lightening up, I'd be more than happy to bring my Griot's stash to casa JAR for a wax "Tech Day". I've got both the 3" and 6" random orbital buffers and enough products to even make ms. pint happy (whose car we can work on too!). Might ask for a corner of a room to unroll a sleeping bag on, for the night, but happy to help.

You are awesome, Mike!

Thanks very much for the offer, and I would be happy to host you any time you're ever in town. The spare bedroom is a mess right now, so give me a heads up so we can clean it up for you

I need to do an oil change myself, so I'd be happy for you and Ms. Pint to come over and wash her car in the driveway, while I work on mine in the garage

I actually just restocked all my car detailing products. I stepped up from the Meguiar's Gold Class paste wax to the Meguiar's Ultimate paste wax. I also have the 3" pads (only a hand applicator tho) for fixing up some light scratches. I have access to a 6" random orbital, too, but I've never taken him up on the offer.

mr.jar-

yah, the 3" orbital i cool to have. i use it for the side sill (skirts) area, side mirrors, a-pillar, any small area that needs polishing/waxing including stove tops, lol. it's well worth the $90 or watever they cost.

No worries. Looks like early May may be a good time. If not, June/July is wide open.

I would just like to take this time to say that my MIL is the worst dishwasher-loader I have ever seen. I just noticed the dishes were done so I thought I would be nice and unload it. This is what I find. FML.

No, the owner wasn't sure the wrap wwould stick so he tested it with just this one side. I'm texting him now to see if there is a better way to go about it or if this is it. If this is it, I'm getting in touch with a bodyshop to get it painted.

Here are the results of my first experience with Adam's Metal Polish 1 and 2:

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

Yup!

There's a little bit of elbow grease involved, but the results were impressive enough, I didn't even get all OCD about it
