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

enkei2k · 04-16-2015, 12:01 AM

got an alignment done finally...after 3 years of driving.\

I don't like how they did it though as it's not quite even. left rear is at -1.5 and right rear is at -1.9. I would have prefer them both to be at the same reading, but since they are both within range, it's ok I guess

Washed and waxed the Z on weds. Went for a drive and out to dinner with the wife. Come back out and covered in pollen.

black car problems...

The struggle is real. This time of year, the Z is either black or green.

Mine has yellow spots all over. It's a cheetah I guess. Sometimes I do wish I had a lighter colorbut after a wash and wax, I'm in love with black again. Endless cycle because 4 hours later it's dirty lol

Drove 1431 out to Marble Falls earlier this week. The drive back was almost empty and included a detour on Lime Creek

I think I hit 65K miles (or just about to).

Fluid changes on a couple of local Z's scheduled for this morning

Visited with my autocross buddy yesterday...his 300zx with Harry

Moved the Z from one garage to the other, spring cleaning time! Garage was filthy after winter.

Engine oil change for Morbid370Z and engine and transmission oil change for enrique_370 at JARblue's friendly neighborhood garage this morning

That was followed by lunch with Mr. Morbid and Ms. Pint

Lunch also included an interesting crappy parker encounter that is documented in the crappy parking thread.

I have already heard back that Mr. Enrique is very pleased with the Redline upgrade in his MT :driving

I started the junkmans and paint correction/protection on the drivers side.

Yeah it's a 2015 but it's has some apparent micro scratches in the clear coat on some of the panels. Dirt seems to get in them and really shows up on the pearl white paint.

I clayed it, used the Meguiars 105 ultra cut compound and then Meguiars 205 ultra polish both with The Porter Cable 7424XP. Once done with the whole car I will use Hi Temp Terminator sealant. It came out nice. Shines better than the untreated panels which is good considering the car is basically brand new and should shine pretty good already.

Also dressed the tires with Optibond tire gel. I like that stuff.

I might have to look into this Optibond

CoralZ · 04-19-2015, 08:38 AM

It's good stuff. Doesn't make the tires look wet but just makes them look black like they should.

Louise and I went on a four hour cruise (back roads) from home to the Catoctin Mountains (hills) and Hunting Creek Lake. Did not take the path to Cunningham Falls though. Just walked around. Stopped for dinner in Old Town Fredrick at Olives for dinner.
