What did you do with your Z today

Trips · 05-07-2011, 01:34 PM

Nothing! She's asleep

happytheman · 05-07-2011, 05:24 PM

Gave my Z a single bucket wash without rinsing her off first, dropped my natural sponge (only to pick it up thereafter to continue on without rinsing) on the driveway while rinsing each panel and since I was washing while in the sun....the darn soap kept getting dried before I could rinse.

After all was said and done I dried my Z off with some old t-shirt I found on the garage floor that I used to wear while mowing the lawn and laying on the driveway under my last car! I had to shake the dirt out first before rubbing it on my clean car (didn't want to scratch the paint you know)!!

All in all, a good day!!

Yup, I find that saliva really brings the shine out!

So that is an example of how NOT to wash your car?

Maybe I should make a How-To video?

c41006 · 05-07-2011, 06:10 PM

I think you should

happytheman · 05-07-2011, 06:13 PM

I believe it would be well received by the community. A real Public Service Announcement, if you will!

kenchan · 05-07-2011, 06:46 PM

G2Z- did your nismo knob come with that black base that fits between the knob and boot?

Happy... at first I was cringing after reading your posts about Z washing. Then as I got into it, I thought to myself... PLEASE PLEASE be a joke...

If it wasn't a joke, Ken would have to sell you on all his Griots stuff...

Ken, I responded to your pm

sorry took so long, was on road yesterday.

Yes, the black base o ring comes with it! It needs it... it serves as the transition (and barrier) between the knob itself and the boot. I think someone said to put the o ring UNDER the knob, but I don't think it looked right that way. The o ring has a taper to transition the smaller diameter knob to the larger diameter boot. You'll see what I mean when you put it on.

So THAAAAAAT's why you got the strap wrench?!?!?!

Go for the Ti knob Ken!!! I LOVEEEEEE it.
