My first wash..

I washed the 350Z before taking it in for the trade in...

Then when I brought the 370Z home on the same day, I washed it..

I could feel the different lines...The side windows, the roof lines, the hood lines, the sides of the car, ect...

Everything was different...Like I was massaging a super model..

The difference in the 350Z and the 370Z was quite obvious since i washed both on the same day...

Nothing's wrong with the brake discs; they are just really dirty and I want to see them shiny and new again. The dirt on the discs is much more stubborn to get off; any suggestions? What's the difference between a coat of wax and a coat of detailer?

I have a foam gun that I bought off Amazon for somewhere around $40 that works wonders.
Good luck and please wash it more than once a month like the rest of us maniacs... I do it every weekend.

Thanks for the tips and product recommendations! Pics will come soon, I keep promising the peeps, but I've been too lazy to resize my photos so that they're not HUGE. Washing every weekend....? Bravo, bro. I don't think I can be that dedicated. Took me 2 hours to wash last weekend, and I can see myself doing it once a month in the summer months and less often in the winter.

Didn't clay as the car had been in a warehouse for all of three days off a truck. Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class. Dried and waxed with Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Wax. Did the tires with ArmorAll, and cleaned the wheels with a soft brush and Dawn. Wasn't much brake dust to speak of.

Thank you too! I also noticed that there are a tonne of different products to choose from. I chose a soap and wax in one. How do you think it compares to using soap and wax separately? I guess it's like shampoo + conditioner in one, isn't it? LOL

It's all good. I think if a gal is serious about her Z and keeping connections with the car community, she'll keep active.

I'm not weirded out by the creepers!

I feel this way also, you can check my post history.

My first wash was at a car wash. I rinsed with the hose, felt the brush and said **** that and drove away.

Now I just wash at my house with an old fashioned hose and bucket. I do cheat on the drying though with the absorber towels.

I use mothers wheel and tire cleaner, seems to keep everything down there clean. Try that? I know some people use different products and have good results too, mothers just works for me so if it's not broke don't fix it.
