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

kenchan · 09-26-2014, 08:47 AM

on my dd i use polymer sealant every 6months (griots one-step sealant) and for the most part let the rain clean the car. i just dress the tires, clean the wheels on occasion, and clean the dirty panels on the side and rear using the sprayon carwash..along with dirty glass. ive not touched the roof at all since April. still looks very clean for most people.

my cleaning session for my dd takes 10-15min tops. no hose to wind up, no bucket to rinse, no wet shoes, no wet clothes.

I have a nice touchless place near my house. I have used it a handful of times when I was short on time or just lazy and there is no ill effect. At worst I have to wax it again sooner. I have not had to polish out anything caused by the carwash.

Picked up my Z with a brand new Whiteline rear differential bushing

I had to do a little

first. But I now have her cooling on jack stands, so I can clean up the mess made by the silicone fluid from the OEM bushing

Hmmmm Griots one-step sealant huh? May have to investigate this.

The next question is... Did you replace it or just clean it? Either way looks good

Same here, I really want a macro lens. The pic above was taken with the kit 18-55 lens.
