Ouch! :D I suppose if you wash it well you're fine. I use a few oz of this stuff called Microfiber Cleaner by you know who during each wash. I use detergent + this stuff.

Keeps the towels plush. I hang dry only.

Just found out the wife is pregnant with our 2nd little one...didn't happen in the Z though...:tiphat:

:icon18:

I think I'm still keeping the Z! :ughdance:

Congats! So happy to hear the great news!

So...you're NOT going to stretch the Z into a Maxima?:confused:

:iagree: congrats, fatalsports! and just pull at the bumpers. :tup:

Wife already has a Maxima! 2011 SV w/Premium package.

Me and my kiddo's washed the Z for the first time. Well all but one he got hot and went inside. My daughter will be the future Z owner. She's into cars like her daddy!!!

Too cute. :tup:

Congrats!!:tiphat::happydance:

Dzel- nice! :D :tup:

fatal- you're all set then! she can carry the kids all the time. (let's see how long that's gonna lasts. :D ;) )

Hey guys thanks for the rear set up tip, probably go with toe in at 0.08 degrees to start with, it's at the far end of factory toe specs.

Am I ok with leaving the fronts at zero toe?

yah as long as your steering wheel is straight (or close enough) and your thrust angle is fine no need to change the front. :)

but your car will probably feel tighter if you give it 0.03 to 0.05 per side as well.

Yes, no toe up front is how I run mine. Helps keep the turn in crisp.

Thanks for the input...and for the record, I just enjoy giving you shyte for the Griots references. Please continue to post the references/recommendations (sans the asterisks) because it's starting to wear me down to the point I'm ready to grab my wallet!:tup:

:tup: we all need a random orbital to start off. :D

Meguiars love for my 370 today.
Battery charge and start for my 240 today.
Scratch repair on the Mrs.' Echo.
Cabin fire in the F-150.

opened the garage door. Said hello to my Z. and then went about my day.

I will admit, that while I'm really interested in using a random orbital, I'm also a little wary. How often do you do a machine polish? Once per year? How much time does it take you? 4-6 hours?

:eekdance:

but the 240 start sounds like fun. :tup:


interval depends on how much swirls you have and how much you want to remove. :) typical hazing will only take a couple of hours to do as i would only use my one mild polish, but if you're doing deeper swirl removal chances are it will take an entire day cause you'd need to do 3-4 different polishes (steps).

it's a time consuming process but goes MUCH FASTER vs by hand. :tup:

yah, that's all i did too today. i only opened the door to the garage and just walked around checked out my cars. :p

im not feeling well today and yesterday... got a light case of stomach flu or something. :icon14: plus heavy fog and t-storms all day today so im not missing out on anything anyway. :tup:

Installed my reverse LEDS finally, and installed my subwoofer/amp to get a little beat in the car.

I changed Jillian's oil (Mobil 1 Special Blend 10/30) added Water Wetter then, my dog Bob and I went driving like a maniac to ensure of no leaks...etc... Washing her tomorrow.
:driving:

cleaned and waxed, then a nice 2 hr sunday drive

:tup:

Meguiars Love Fest on a Sunday

Holy crap! That a mean looking little thing!

onzedge- looking good! :tup: wow, that helper of yours has some serious teeth! :D

Got a ton of bug splats today after yesterday's wash n wax. Drove 150 miles. Yay Ultimate Quik Detailer. Also picked up some Rain-X wash and protect spray for glass. Any good?

yes, Rain-X is great if applied correctly. spray into paper towel and spread onto clean glass to a haze. then take distilled water in a water bottle, mist and wipe off using glass MF towel.

i use rain-x as a cleaner sometimes to rid water spots/stains on my windshield from the sprinklers. :)

Thanks guys. She is a neurotic rescue dog who worships me (there truly is no accouting for taste) and loves to bark when she hears a camera go off.

You're right..the 40th does look mean doesn't it?:tup:

Ha! :tup:

Went outside hungover to install my test pipes. Took one look at the bolts you need to access thru the engine bay and decided I already had a big enough headache, went back inside.

:roflpuke2:

good call. the demon bolts are bad enough without a hangover.

Man I went to polish the Z< and I noticed that the dealership didn't take off all the residue glue from the plastic they put over the cars during transport. I've tried wd-40, car brite, wax, brushing and nothing is taking it out! FML

FYI I called the dealership told them I want it fixed.

I couldnt even see the top inside bolt on each side, not looking forward to this install at all.

quick solution to a hangover....drink lots of water or gatorade, it's shown that hangovers are caused by alcohol dehydrating your body. As for the demon bolts...well all i can say is good luck with those man

Also, take a couple aspirin along with your Gatorade to alleviate the aches and pains. Hangovers are all about dehydration.

Oh trust me I have had way more than my share of hangovers, I know how to deal w em lol.

:tup:

I don't even drink but have had to babysit enough girls/friends to know the tricks. lol Hope you feel better, better enough to deal with the demon bolts!

I have my HFCs eyeballing me too. As soon as I get some hardware/gaskets in from Berk I'll be attempting it as well.
