It's just I had some bad experience with regular wax before so I look for something different this time to try out.

Regarding the streaks, I use a clean microfiber cloth and make sure just use very gentle force to wipe off the wax, so far it works out fine.

Those streaks you mention, somehow, they'd be easily noticed when you're in the gas station.

How has everyones day been?

Kenchan, what will you be using the"jdm" tape for?
Mr.kenchan, that's my question too. Are you using those masking tapes to mask the plastic part during waxing your Z??

note: waxing-- I mean car waxing, not those hair-removal-waxing.

What products do you use?
My fiancee bought me a bunch of cans of FW1 Cleaning Wax a while back because they were selling it by where she works...I have never used the stuff on my paint, I use NXT Tech Wax for that, but for the wheels, plastic and engine bay this stuff works wonders! I just spray it on a microfiber and use it to wipe down all plastic, rubber and metal...takes up all the dirt and brings everything to a nice new looking shine. They usually sell the stuff outside of gas stations and mall kiosks.

She bought it from the mall where she used to work...they had a temporary kiosk setup selling the stuff.

Check out their site, they sell it there too: Waterless Products : FW1 Racing Formula, HIGH PERFORMANCE CLEANING WAX IN AN AEROSOL CAN

I think you nailed this one with a cross-court shot! Taping off the during polishing/waxing was my guess too!

Good morning Z Crew!
