What did you do with your Z today

kenchan · 05-03-2011, 10:45 PM

in my G and Z i keep a BCE kit... (bird crap emergency)

1. disposable gloves (dont want to touch that salmonella)
2. paper towels.... just get the softest ones you can find.
3. polymer based QD* (carry a small spray bottle)
4. trash bag
5. clean plush MF towel.

*i carry Prima Slick, but you can get Meguair's NXT spray. it needs to be polymer as you might need to use it in the sun. natural wax based can boil up on the hot panel and stain your finish making more work...

how to:
1. put on your disposable gloves.
2. spray the crap with QD and let it moisten.
3. spray the paper towel to soften and minimize swirls on the paint.
4. apply wet towel onto the crap as if you are picking it up, do not rub the towel.
5. trash into trashbag.
6. QD some more onto the panel and wipe dry with your plush MF towel
7. disposable glove into trashbag.

done.

^^^ LMAO.. Nicely done.

Amazingz03 · 05-04-2011, 01:26 AM

I finished my LEDs today.

happytheman · 05-04-2011, 06:07 AM

Pics at night please! I like where you've got em located much better than the landing strip!

FromG2Z · 05-04-2011, 08:35 AM

Rule #1. Never park underneath or even partially underneath any part of any tree. Why? Birds perch on the branches. When they perch, they POOP. Of course you can still get doodoo from parking out in the open, but chances are significantly less than under a tree.

Rule #2. As stated above, carrying QD, water, and several MF's are ALWAYS a must. I just use water first to soften/remove the doo, then follow up with MF + QD. So far, no doo on Zena yet. Now that I've said it, I probably just jinxed myself :'(

Fire · 05-04-2011, 09:04 AM

OMG walked into my garage and almost got hit by a Robin. Sh!t scared the crap out of me. LOL No poo on the car though

I went out there to get my rear wing to take in to be painted. Last part of my aero pieces. Will be done Fri so it will go on this weekend. Yes pics to follow.

I had originally intended for the guy to install all my pieces and paint the wing but I installed everything else myself with my fathers "help" LOL

kenchan · 05-04-2011, 09:43 AM

hahaha, yah, there's quite a bit of FAT robins right now... im making sure they dont make any nests near my garage.

i hate non-edible birds (except penguins.

)

Fire · 05-04-2011, 10:27 AM

LOL

Drex · 05-04-2011, 10:33 AM

my reserved spot in my neighborhood is right under a big tree. so much poop.

although ive found the birds dont crap on my black z as much as they did on my old blue rsx. every morning there was crap on my rsx, not so much on the z.

ive read that blue actually attracts bird crap like a bullseye (its like water?), but probably bs.

kenchan · 05-04-2011, 11:02 AM

interesting... i thought they just crap randomly cause they have no muscle to control their buttholes.

one place i will never park under is light poles with utility lines... pigeons.

wish there were like dog whistles for birds. i'd keep it on 24/7 around the house at full blast.

Davey · 05-04-2011, 11:21 AM

Oh, man, I hate bird poop. I do a walk-around whenever I get home and I use some quick detailer to clean off anything like that. At least for the first year or so, I will hand wash my car when I have time and the weather is decent, which is somewhere between every couple of weeks and never, so I can't let that stuff sit on there!

sheeps · 05-04-2011, 11:27 AM

I had a lab class today this morning at the orange county sanitation district in fountain valley. I leaned up against one of the rails that had some sludge on it. I took no risks. I drove home damn near naked on the road. Then cleaned the interior.

LOL.... I thought I was the only one who did this. Yes, before I get into my car, and after I get out of my car, I do a walkaround ALL the time. I check for doo doo that could have happened during the drive or the time I have parked, and also for door dings that "may" have happened (I would probably go to jail if the car that dinged me was right next to me).

Oh also, after any drive, I whip out my QD and MF to remove bugs on the front bumper and mirrors. Bugs on windshield I wait till I get home. Bugs on bumper/paint are acidic and will eat away clear coat just as well as doo doo will.

Good to know about the dead bugs. I think I'll start to check my front bumper often. Mostly for any debris (rocks) that hit it.

I don't have a flamethrower. LMAO! I don't want to burn the tree down since it's close to the house and that will certainly catch fire.

I might need a CBE kit myself. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the info!

I swear, those damn birds dropped bombs on my Z. Huge massive splats. My Z was like a target.

i drove mine to work, got stuck in traffic and saw 2 other 370's stuck with me! twas a cool sight.

i forgot to share that last week i got gas at the local 76 (which also happens to be one of the few that sell 100 octane unleaded). got out of the car and a porsche pulls in on the opp side of my pump. i start pumping and walk behind his car to take a look at it. debadged so i asked what it was...Turbo? GT3? the guy grins and says, "no, GT2." truly marvelous car...996 GT2 with 750whp. he was putting in pure 100 octane @ $8/gallon. nice guy who complimented my Z as well
