When I got my Z, I drove about 5 miles straight to my house. I had no problems

Invest in a clear-bar asap. It's totally worth it.

Did you use any car bra to prevent stone chips?

Well I got my beautiful black 2015 Z few weeks back. Loving it to death.

Was wondering, what should I do to care for the paint and keep it looking spick all the time?

What products should I use, and what to do with it after a wash?

Look up junkmans threads in the paint section and his videos on you tube. He will teach you more than you ever imagined.

further to the above, technique > product

but you do need a quality random orbital. check out the detailing section, lots of stickies with lots of good information.


he'll give you a good idea what to and not to do to keep paint in good condition

You will be surprised how reliable and surprisingly comfortable these cars are for long driving. It was a long but fun drive.

You will not have any problems.
I bought my car in Dallas, too, and drove it over two days back to Delaware. 1200 or so miles. Took two days because of torrential downpour, bad alignment, and bald tires.

Well its been a little over 3 months with my Zed, and I love it more and more everyday. The ride is just so smooth aswell as the way it just stands out everywhere

Really nice car, so happy with it. I just wish it had 4 seats so I can pick up more girls in it lol.
