Thanks, the dealer told me about a clear "bra" the can put up front, is this wht you mean? I have the number for a guy for this.

I am trying to behave, but sometimes, just a bit too much throttle and "boom" it pops up to 7K. I know this isn't recommended, and I'm not trying to do it on purpose, but this has slipped away from me twice (only had it since Monday).

I gotta get back on a care regimin (washing, waxing, etc.) that I didn't get into with my civic daily driver. I am not rich enough to afford to make the Z a "garage queen." So this will be my daily driver as well. However, this car is BEAUTIFUL (the gun metal on the 2015's black rims is a great combo).

Thanks for the care advise. So, if I get this bra thing (or is it a bra?), then I shouldn't wax over that, obviously.

Haven't waxed since I had a Focus SVT, so I gotta get away from: do brushless wash every 2 months and dealer detail once per year. To its credit, the Honda held up well, and I passed it on to my wife, but I've gotta treat this Z like my SVT (or even better). So, I've gotta learn the "detailing and care" trade all over again.

Fortunately, the forum here for this seems great.

Thanks again.
