Motored my Z again this am and gave her a nice QD wipe down afterwards. Looks great. Was a fun drive too.

Too gritty for any sort of quick detailer or "in-between wash" techniques. It's been weeks since she's had a bath, and that includes a run up the mountains in coal country.
I soaped her up and wiped her down with a mitt, used one of those spot-free rinses and called it a day. Nothing fancy today.

Sadly, not a damn thing. But I did give the XTerra a little love. First good bath since last fall.

Drove her 3 times today. Went to the drug store for some errands, I come out, and I see 2 ladies (in their 30's?) hovering around my car and trying to figure out what it is. They see me coming out, they stop and smile and scurry back to their cars.

I've never had that happen to me... even in my RX7.

Anyways, I continued on to enjoy some driving, then stopped downtown for a nice photoshoot which I posted here on this forum.
