What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Pintsize725 · 04-01-2013, 02:34 PM

So I went to pick up my undone lip from the wrap place this morning. The owner is already dodging my calls and texts so I was worried he would try to keep the lip since I tried to open a claim against him for previous work. My paint isn't cured yet so I can't do what I want anyway. This wrap job looks like ****. I'll post pics later but now I'm on the fence as to which way to go for it.

Also, received my Nissan fan pack this afternoon.

Actually I bought it yesterday. I also included a picture of the Maxima I got my wife last month.

I washed the pollen off the Z and applied some Meguiar's Quik Wax spray. It was super easy, and gives a nice shine I don't usually get with a normal wash. It took less than 10 minutes to apply, which means it will likely become part of my standard routine when I'm not doing a full wash, clay, and wax

I also had my first experience with Adam's Metal Polish 1 and 2, with which I am quite pleased. This stuff definitely works better than any metal polishing products I tried previously. In fact, they never worked, which is probably the reason my exhaust tips got as dirty as they did.

2nd wash in 4 days. The good news is I think the last rain storm washed away all of the salt that the state of MD sees fit to cake onto the roadways. Hopefully dual halos go in this weekend.

That is the parking lot at work and I'm trying to get it in as far as possible so someone with a work truck doesn't take the front end off.

I did the same yesterday. I used Turtle Wax chrome polish though. It cut through the soot like butter. Looks much better.

Bad bad things.

Hosed off the dust and wiped her down yesterday so I looked good when cruising downtown and going to Opening Day.
