What did you do with your Z today

ProfessorDave · 09-19-2011, 11:47 AM

I washed both the Z and the Mazda last night. Both will remain shiny for another 12 hours or so (more rain forecast here, too). But it did mean I drove a clean Z to work this morning!

Gave both the Z and the Altima a bath. Then I broke out the porter cable and put two coats of wax on each.

Got out of a speeding ticket. No lights on top of the cop car, but the antennas and type of car gave it away. He pulled me over because I slowed down really fast right next to his car on the highway. He didn't have the chance to clock me so he gave me a warning. Was going 80 in 65.

Raining here, so she is a garage queen today. Hood hold up thingies arrived today and I hope there is enough daylight when i get home to paint them.

Bought a windshield mount to hold my camera at the track this weekend. Hope it works good. Also got a new fold out chair for all the activities this weekend at Z Nats. Can't wait.

Cool beans.

Finally live in a house [rental] that has a hose! Was able to simply hose off the car, do the water sheeting method afterwards, and lightly dry off. It's not detailed clean, but it looks 95% clean. A little tire shine later and it looks great for just 20 minutes time! Vacuumed the car, too. 20 mins and it looks nice... for another day until it rains

By the way... when it gets to be freezing temps.. does that mean I can't use the outside hose anymore?

If the water comes out of the hose (i.e. it is not frozen inside) you are good to go.

You're welcome.

You should have the water shut off to prevent the pipes from freezing, right?
