What did you do with your Z today

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 10:45 AM

I didn't mention this yesterday, but I came out of the house to see my wife washing her Xterra with my MF cloths (including the wheels and tires)! D'oh!

Time to get some new ones and keep 'em separated (insert obligatory Offspring tune here).

Ouch!

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...

I think I'm still keeping the Z!

Congats! So happy to hear the great news!

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

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!

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?

but the 240 start sounds like fun.

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.
