thanks FromG2Z. i use to spend A LOT of time detailing but i too have only limited time so only do full details once a year and just maintain it by not getting the car too dirty (driving in caked up salt road, mud, etc). lol

im also a trained PDR tech so i fix my own dings using dedicated tools.

a little salt i dont mind, but i cant stand the caked on salt and crap that gets in the nooks and pretty much permanently discolor the bits.

That is too cool, it must be awesome dealing with dings as they occur rather! Would you say it is a hard trade to learn?

ahhh its finally sun season, so its time for the z's first detail. my friend used to do it with her army of orbitals, but i figured its time to get my own and im loving the 6" RO with that awesome handle. just deciding on what pads i need (not a total noob to detailing mind you, just used to have the pleasure of having a friend do it hehehe)

kenchan · 03-30-2011, 06:22 PM

haha, yah, polishing is a test of patience.

StealthZ · 03-30-2011, 06:57 PM

today I went sideways in the rain... was a different experiance lol

TheGreatOne · 03-31-2011, 08:48 AM

Parked it right infront of work downtown so co-workers could drool over it

On my way to work though, I accelerated really fast at one point to get around some car that decided to double park...back got really loose more than I anticpated but still awesome lol

As I got to the next light someone who was behind me pulled up to me and went

then

Gotta love those moments

I'm just praying my car doesn't get damaged. We are under a tornado watch until 1pm. There has already been report of a tornado yesterday and today and hail confirmed...lucky, the worst of the storms have dodged me so far...but it looks like the strongest storm is about to hit in like 10 minutes. You should see outside my office...there's a greenish haze. That's NEVER good!

Yup, pretty fun feeling out of control but you're not.

Oh man, keep your baby sheltered!!

1k miles in a 16 months? damn. I'm at like 80 miles driven in about a month of having my Z and I'm already going crazy!??!

washed her then pulled her back in the garage cause it started to rain. Machine Waxed the hood, roof, and hatch. Will be finishing later.

kenchan · 03-31-2011, 12:56 PM

i only had a few seconds to look at my Z this am before leaving for work. but it was a nice experience... you know, need to remind ourselves why the f- you're working so hard sometimes other than for just being a dad and some mean dood at work.
