Water-less takes me about 30 minutes. I've always averaged around 45 minutes from the time I drag out the hose to the time I reel it back-up. Plus with water-less, no drips to re-dry from the mirrors and other crevices after pulling the car back in the garage.

That all being said, a true-uber cleaning requires a bucket of suds and a hose.

How much tint are you doing?

smokejr · 11-19-2011, 09:31 AM

Have spent the last three weeks installing my stereo system, Kenwood DNX5160,
PG TI600.2, JL60.1, JL13 shallow sub, MB Quart QSM218, front stage only, the front
sounds awesome but I think I need a line driver for the sub, not much volume.

I picked up a good bit of vinyl. You'll have to wait and see what I do with it.

It's nothing weird or perverted is it? I have a couple of friends into vinyl and they do really odd stuff with it.

I use my shop vac in blower mode to get the water out of the nooks. Makes drying very quick.

Motored my Z this am.

was a tad misty but car did not get too dirty. QD'ed the front of the car and cleaned the glass. Hope to motor her again tomorrow.

Drove it to work today (day 2 of a ten day vacation).

Looks like day 5 will get "interrupted" too.

Well, at least it pays for the mods!

Did my first couple small mods to my 40th that I picked up a couple weeks ago.

1) Replaced the clutch helper spring with a softer spring. The engagement is noticably better.

2) Installed the GT-R start button. During the process I went ahead and painted the silver trim peice flat black. The fusion ultra flat camo paint is what I used and it happens to be a perfect color match to dash peice. It looks so much better than the "Target" circle within circle look.

Then I took it for a drive and finished off with a washing.

I will get pics up within a few days of the painted trim around the GT-R start button as I left my camera at the office.
