I figured I would just freshen up the Z with a bit of polishing today, not that there were any swirls but it has been about a year since I last polished it. I went over everything below the windows including the roof (polished and sealed the roof, A pillars and hatch recently) with some Meguiar's 205 polish, a grey Lake Country CCS pad and my PC 7424 since using a rotary generates too much heat which doesn't play nicely with PG paint for some reason.

I love perfect paint, metallics really pop when the paint is properly prepped!

I had a TWM weighted knob and went back to stock -- I suppose I am just used to the feel.

hello mr.onzedge! the TWM's satin one does not get nearly as hot as polished knobs. seems to reject heat better. the stock knob is not bad at all. i liked it (past-tense cause mine got during removal )

yah, the nismo one is definitely good. but it's very slim so make sure you like that joystick-like feel. ive always been more of a ball/type-R knob guy but the nismo made the shift very solid and crisp for me so im keeping mine for a while.
