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

JARblue · 03-12-2014, 02:50 PM

Monday: I received my Junkman-approved The Rag Company towels. Four of the Eagle Edgeless microfibers along with some microfiber drying towels for my kitchen

Tuesday: I received the contents of the three Adam's mystery boxes I purchased last week. I got a bunch of new stuff to try out and calculated almost a 45% savings over their normal pricing.

Wednesday: heading outside right now to wash the Z. I'm thinking I'll try out the Invisible Undercarriage product on my wheel wells. It ought to be a good test, seeing as they have never been treated (~48K miles)

You know I've always felt that the plastic wheel wells look better treated and black. Really distracting when everything else looks good but the wheel wells. I also like "Back to Black" on my plastic bits elsewhere. Works really well if you get to the bits before they're dead/won't absorb the chemical.
I'll have to look into the "invisible undercarriage" stuff. Now i just use tire black/shiny stuff under there.

Adam's Super VRT is an amazing trim dressing IMO. It has a great finish that isn't glossy, and it's not greasy like a lot of products. I use it to treat everything from rubber trim to engine bay plastic to my tires

Let me know how you like those towels please. I am in need of a couple dozen polish/wax removal microfibers.

yah, i hate dirty wheelwells as well.

the undercarriage spray that griots sells is super super slick, so i recommend laying down some newspaper or something if doing it in your garage or driveway...or do it on a neighbhor-you-dont-like's driveway.

This stuff is the same. Super slippery and will stain some surfaces. I'm considering doing it on a neighbors driveway. If they don't leave soon, I have plenty of plastic I can put down

Superb driving day. Early and warm spring after ZERO winter! Love it! Dropped Z off.
Car is getting polished/paint corrected. Summer wheels are being refinished and PSS to be mounted. Should have it all together this week or early next! TIME TO DRIVE

Drove my Z for the first time since last Friday and went to the grocery store

Was a great mod!

What the hell is in that box?

JARblue · 03-13-2014, 08:12 AM

Yesterday I gave the Z a good washing

I also tried out the Adam's Invisible Undercarriage product. Unfortunately, I only had time for one wheel well

It took two applications of their All Purpose cleaner to prep the linings for treatment (almost 50K miles worth of dirt). It looks fantastic so far, but I am really hoping that it lasts a while. It makes it looks new again, very similar to my experience with their VRT on the plastic bits under the hood

I actually have some, but they're on the camera at home. I'll post up some pics when I get a chance

roy'sz · 03-13-2014, 09:33 AM

ordered some hood struts and clear lenses for the z from z1

Sh0velMan · 03-13-2014, 09:37 AM

JARblue, come wash my cars.

I got a neglected MS3 that needs your touch and my Z could use a good clay barring.

They are fantastic towels and priced exceptionally at The Rag Company. If they're good enough for the Junkman they are too good for any of us
