What did you do with your Z today

Waiz

Alright, well here she is with just the front removed.



I might get the front redone in a lighter shade after the ticket gets signed off by the CHP tomorrow.

you got a ticket for your tint? by CHP?!?! wth they stopped you on the freeway just for tint?

Waiz

I got a fix-it ticket like 4 blocks from the ocean in Manhattan Beach by the MBPD so I removed the front tint to get it signed off.

I have been told that if you take it to the CHP they won't charge you to sign it off so that's why I am taking it there.

gotcha

Hummmmm...yah that's quite a contrast. I too would either get the rear done ina lighter shade or get the front tinted just a tad.

G2Z- that looks good! And the civic's paint looks phenominal.
I think your CF wrap is a tad more glossy than DiNoc and the recessed area appears more silver too. Looks good regardless. I kinda like the DiNoc's matte dry carbon finish for my interior bits. Exterior I'm using real CF and glossy.

Just got done swapping my G's spacers to add another 5mm's. Its very flush now and drives super frikken nice. I luv my new tires. (19x9 ET15 & 19x10 ET15)

Dude your paint looks SO good. It's something that bothers me about my Z every time I pull it out the garage - under the sun all you can see is a mess of swirls. I bought it at 5000 miles and it was already like that. I do my best to take care of it but the swirls drive me crazy. So do you always wash ONR? Which product? I really need to fix my sh!t.

As for me today; DIY CF vinyl wrapped b-pillars.

Door handles next.

hahaha, yah, i needz to get DSLR first...

happytheman

Tanooki, Those CF B-Pillars look really good. What brand vinyl did you go with?

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! Your B-pilllars look awesome!!! Did you use DiNoc? I think my 1080 is a little more glossy. I will use that on my PW Z. Anyone have a pic of the b-pillars in CF on a white Z???

Yeah swirls are a big no-no To properly deswirl, you'll need to polish. To polish, you will need a buffer (DA or rotary...I use DA's, as they are safer...my Flex is a DA, but with power of a rotary), pads, and polishes. After that, you can glaze it if you like, then seal, then wax.

Proper washing and QD'ing techniques are a MUST to maintain a swirl-free finish. It's all in the technique. It's too lengthy to go over here, but let's just say I take 2 hours to wash using several buckets, mitts, a foam gun, a leaf blower and lots of QD :P

ONR is short for Optimum No Rinse... look it up. It's revolutionary (if used properly). I use ONR only when I have heavy dust. If it got rained on, it must be a 2 or 3 bucket wash for sure.
