The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XI

Thank you mr. kenchan.

Up until two months ago, I had never used a glaze. It's amazing what a difference it makes. It makes the paint look much deeper, especially when I top it with a coat of Griot's Best of Show wax.

Hopefully, the sun will peek out a bit tomorrow. It's been so gloomy for weeks here. The sun can be out in Austin where ms. pint and mr. JAR live, and be dreary here.

I tried something today that I doubted would work. The Junk Man had a video on washing a car where he used the hose to "dry" his car. What he did was just let the water run out of the hose - no nozzle - and the water just sheeted off the car taking the water beads with it.

Your car has to be well waxed, but it worked knocking drying time way down. I just got a Master Blaster dryer for the car and love it. No more dragging a chamois over the car.

mr.gurney- i use PrimaAmigo (glaze) instead of polishing my Z. as you said, it flattens any minor hazing or imperfections for that nice deep base where you apply wax over.

yah, i use that water sheathing method during my final rinse on the car as well. i still use the firemen's nozzle, but in the flush mode with no sprayage. works great. i use my shopvac in blower mode for when i dry my G and Z, especially around the wheels, wheel wells and all the nooks. i dont use that on my dd's after the rinse.

all good techniques!
