Thanks Ken. Right now, I really don't have a choice.

I did notice that the spray is, for lack of a better description, oilier and more viscous than a detailer. You can see how it's made to suspend the dirt off the surface of the car.

Waterless is actually faster than soap and water when you factor in dragging out the hose, filling the soap bucket, drying the car. and then picking everything up.

I can see it as a great way to go up north at winter time. I actually did the car in the garage today.

I guess I'm old school, because I miss the "old way". Maybe I'm just old!

I have used Optimum No Rinse on my cars for the past 3 years. I have yet to use a hose with the Z, if you work in small sections and make sure your wash media is good, you will not have to worry about marring the paint and it is much much faster and easier.

I personally am not sure why many people are so worried about no rinse wash solutions. When used appropriately, they are just as effective and safe as a hose and regular car wash solution.

On another note, I washed the Z today like usual. I took a girl out last night to dinner through the canyons, but on the way back I was going 60 through one turn and there was a stream of water running across the road and once I hit it, the back end immediately stepped out. The back got so far out I had to turn the wheel a full rotation just to correct. Drifting on a two lane road with the cliff or the wall next to you was not the best feeling haha, but she loved it for whatever reason.

You park your Z at a theater? Very brave. I drove to Fry's off Northgate yesterday and knowing my Z was in that parking lot with its narrow spaces made for a distracted shopping experience.

ZForce · 10-23-2011, 11:24 AM

The parking spaces are pretty large at my theatre and I find an end spot or park in the next lot. Yeh.... the Fry's on Norhtgate is scarry just parking in that neck of the hood. Zville Fry's is alot safer and spaces are large...dunno Fry's in Natomas is set up wierd not to mention it's too close to the freeway onramp, makes for thieves on a car shopping spree.

RandyD · 10-23-2011, 12:40 PM

took a 5 huor road scouting run - all around... and made 33 vid clips ... now to process them all.

Yep, it is kinda oily but its like a protective coating over my polymer so I think its good. I too use it all the time on my Z when I go over puddles. I think starting next month I'm going to use my SprayOn CarWash full time on my G. I will run the car through undercarriage wash when I can but between washes the no rinse should do very well.

Motored my Z this am and had a good time opening her up.

. QD'ed afterwards. I luvs this car!
