Jay is a detailing devil. The guy knows what he's doing. I always ask him for detailing advice.

Good to know. I'm still learning.

I used to be super anal about detailing and keeping my car perfect. Now I don't care as much. If it looks good from 10 feet away I'm happy.

That said, I do everything I can to avoid swirls. That means nothing touches the car when it is dirty unless it is soapy water for a wash. No spray detail or anything like that unless the surface is 100% clean.

I do the two bucket wash method, too, which is a must. Foam gun, good wash mitts, and two buckets.

This...usually.

Out of curiosity, what do you guys know about this stuff:

RejeX Paint Sealant Gallon, Rejex auto paint sealant, high release wax, Rejects

?

i have a friend with a ZR1 who swears by it and it does look like water after he's done. LONG process but apparently worth it.

dmhenderson · 05-24-2013, 11:37 AM

Hey. Your feelings on that Rejex stuff?

Most sealants for paint are pretty similar, so it's all personal preference. Some are pretty easy to apply (meaning you just let it air dry like the Zaino Z-CS) or some you need to buff off.

Never used it personally, but if they have a small bottle and have a testimonial from a close friend who's used it before... I say give it a shot and see if you like the results.

My car looks good from 10 feet away but close up it looks like 💩. It's my DD and I'm kinda worn after washing it every week 👎

I spotted a Z at the Dairy Queen in Odenton with the plates TSX370Z I think...

Just reminded me of cassette players and when they were all the rage in cars...

Fuk, now I just feel old...

Kirkster · 05-24-2013, 07:26 PM

Happy now Vicster.

I am so sick of you labeling us as "pre-2013's". You treat us as 2nd rate Z's and think you are so high and mighty with your fancy LED strips.

I'm just super jellly mine doesn't have LED strips.
