its not gonna melt, it gets wet washing it

Sorry man... but all my toy cars have never gotten one drop of rain (or snow for that matter) on them... been doing it for 10 years. I am very particular, and an avid detailer, and OCD, as you can prolly now tell ;)

If the weather shows precipitation chances of greater than 20%, the daily driver beater comes out...

mine only gets rained on once or twice a week

That is hardcore.

:tup:

Yeah... been that way ever since highschool. I think it's because I was around rich kids who had mommy and daddy buy them brand new cars, while I was driving a POS ford escort with rusty doors and multi-colored panels. And these kids were treating their cars lik a$$. Every since then, I swore that when I became successful and could afford cars (and other things) on my own, I would always take care of them, never taking things I worked so hard for, for granted.

Anyways... I rant... sorry. Long story short, I HATE dirt, scratches, swirls, dings, food in the car, etc etc... You should have seen my 7 year old G35c when I traded her in for the Z. I want them to remain looking and driving like new, fresh off the showroom floor. I guess it benefits the person who buys/gets the cars after me :(

Here's my G the day I traded her in :( I miss Gina too... wish I could have them both.

Pronounced Geena or Gina?

PS - I need somebody to teach me how to properly detail

FromGtoZ- that's a nice looking G. :p i still have mine (orignal owner since 2004) and intend to keep until she's 10...(?) :D mine looks like new as well.

Pronounced Gina, like Gina Gershon ;)

Detailing is like cooking. Some people find that microwaving or making spaghetti out of the box, and microwaving a bottle of Ragu is good enough. Some people want to to take their time cooking, sauteeing, grilling, baking, etc... and prepare more elaborate dinners.... I'm more the elaborate type ;)

Go to Autogeek.net... that's my favorite detailing site. I learned A LOT by just reading. I think Kenchan on here is also ad avid detailer. He's mostly Griots though (BOOOOOO... hehe kidding Kenchan). I'm mostly Optimum and Pinnacle and Chemical Guys...

That's a beuatiful car man. I also liked those colors. Had the G since new as well. Looks like you have the brembo package too?!?!!? Had I kept her, I would have SC'd her I think. Nevertheless, I wouldn't trade Zena for Gina (hehe). But I just WISH I could have kept them both. My wife just doesn't want to own 4 cars... boo.

FromG2Z - LOL@ boo Griot's. :D hahahaha. ive tried a lot of different products but Griot's seems to be the right solution for me. :p it's real easy to use and cost effective.

thanks! yah mine's a 04 so it's the last gen with the brembo's. im running Endless pads right now... bites hard and no noise. :p i dont plan on doing any more mods on the car, just going to do maintenance work and enjoy her (she's shy 27K miles).
