So they can digest food.

They're actually one of the smartest birds, they know what they're doing. Evil

That is exactly my point.

indeed... my G's been crapped on consecutively for 3 work days in a row at the office. :icon14: ofcourse i have my QD and towels and disposable gloves in the trunk so no huge issue but such a pita to clean.

Hey quick question Ken. Im unfamiliar with QD's. Exactally when do you use them and what exactally is the purpose?? I figured I could search the net and find out but since youre such a detail freak I thought Id get the answer straight from the horses mouth.

Mine has the welded tips. What does yours have?

i use it to remove dust and light oils or contaminants on clean paint surfaces. for example if your car sat outside overnight with dew in the morning it's beyond QD's capacity to remove grime safely. you'd want to wash it or use the super-lube cleaner like water-less car wash sprays.

As for the QD i use, i have 3 different kinds.
1. cheezo :rofl2: Meguiar's maroon bottle sold locally for clay lube.
2. Griot's SpeedShine (natural wax based)
3. Prima Slick (polymer based)

for polymer based QD it can handle higher surface temperatures so i use it on cars parked out doors when i see bird crap. i usually just wash my dd's but if it hadn't been rained on all week, i use QD.

i also use polymer based QD on my wheels.

for my hobby car like my Z, i dont usually drive in the rain so i use SpeedShine...SpeedShine cause it has ability for liquids to bead instead of sheet/roll off the paint. i want the lube to be on the surface when i use my towel to remove the dust and light oils from motoring around town. :driving:

QD's are best on cool surfaces, max warm to the touch.

not exactly today - but last weekend... drove up and saw this guy...

^^ cool. ive never seen the president (or any presidents) in person. :)

On Saturday, George W and Clinton and Joe Biden were there - saw them - then Sunday Barack and Michelle.

Biden and Clinton are the most impressive in person.

I got attacked by my Z today. Tried to take my thumb when i shut the door. Must be mad for not having been washed in the last week.

Gotz the jnext. Opened up the package to ck content. Everything is in Japanese. Even the handwriting noting which bit goes where. :D. Quality is top notch, paint had two 0.5mm sink marks but other then that :tup:

So I packed it up and stored in my parts bin for when I might need it running aggressive offset. :p

Mine has welded as well. Looks like they went back to the welded design and let the tips stick out a little more after people first complained about it being too tucked and second complained the adjustable tips were too far out.

What pieces did you get Ken?

Today I took my Z for a 105 km round trip to the barber shop (I was testing the new Berk CBE and HFC). I really enjoy going to this barber shop. Just a couple of old Italian guys, both named Mario (no joke) who do things the old way. They still use the straight blades for shaving! that's my favourite. On the way home I got buzzed by the 370's big brother, a nice white GTR. First white one I've seen around here most are red.
