I didn't bother do the rear and front bumper for the Polish and compound. Here's the post compound pre polish shot. Lol nice and shiny!

When I waxed it was around noon. Heat helped make the application easier but also made it harder to cure. Especially the hood since engine bay was still hot.

Floozy!

I started using Prima Hydro Max. It's a spray type sealant (not the usual mist and wipe after a wash type) and it goes on and off VERY easily. and u can re-apply to stack it once it fully cures in like a few minutes. highly recommend giving it a try next time. okay to use on glass and plastics, rubber, so no masking needed.

paste sealants are a thing of the past.

Man the residue on plastic you don't see sometimes until after it over cures on it. Fml pita to remove.

How is in sun application or hot days and warm surfaces?

Yep more the reason to make the switch.

U want to apply this on a coolish to warm surface away from the sun.

Okay, you've peaked my curiosity... just ordered this stuff. Claimed ease of application/removal combined with the durability they state is too good not to give it a try.

Plus, kenchan approved.

Interesting. How would you use Prima alongside waxing? Or do you still wax?

First time I've dropped a car off for alignment and picked it up and had been hand washed and dried. Can't complain about that.

In all fairness their shop had two ferraris, a lambo, 911 and my Z in it today

At least I got the same treatment even though my car cost what a set of their rims are worth! LOL

Did you get a chance to test it, to see if it works?

Yes it works fine, thanks.
Package showed up today from the Z store so have the other side now as well.
Glad to have the car back on the road today after the alignment and everything yesterday. Seems there is still s bit of settling so will out some miles on and see where it ends up, and if it needs further adjustment or not.

Lol, I'm always amazed at how much attention a Z will get. I have had people walk past a Ferrari to look at my car and when I gone to Nissan dealership I get way more attention than a GTR does by the employees and service personal.

I go play in the GTR in the showroom when I bring mine in for service

Quick and dirty of the stance now. Very pleased with the suspension and ride height. Think I'll tweak it a bit firmer though. Need to consider if I'll pick up some spacers or get some better offset rims. I'd prefer the rims but then need to decide if I go wider while I'm at it... but that means new tires and I just got new tires lol
