Washed and Waxed the 370Z today! (Monterey Blue + pics inside :) )

AK370Z

Well, last few days, the weather has been GREAT here in Jersey. Today, I had few hours of FREE time. So, I decided to wash and wax the Z. Please note, I wax EVERY TIME I wash meaning, I will do this (wash+wash) sometime next month again.

As I'm saving up for the nice adam's kit, I'm using NXT 2.0 (+ Meguiars microfiber cloth) for the time being. It's pretty good. Does a good job. But I eventually want to get the Adams Detailing kit as well as perfect interior kit (I actually tried to place order for the int kit last week but their website was acting up that night . I'll probably order it next week).

I always use two bucket to wash the car. Thanks to alefcole who taught me this trick. It's amazing how much dirt you'll see in that clear water bucket after the wash. Take a look

Well, here are some BEFORE pictures. Oh btw, did I mention I HATE pollen!

I also put RAINX on the windshield. I love RAINX .

Outstanding!!

I always found NXT to leave an oily sheen the next day on my paint, and I quit using it. That was on a Black car. Don't know why it would do that.

She looks GREAT!

Car looks really good.

AK, you seriously need a garage to store that baby. I'm spoiled...or at least my Z is spoiled. I usually wash mine inside the garage.

I just want to let you guys know, as a professional detailer, the Adam's kit is great but it's a rape on the price. There are products out there that literally does the same if not better job then Adam's but for a lot cheaper.

Looks great! I love Monty Blue!

Amazing job! I'm doing the same this weekend - my babies first bath and wax. I plan to do the 2 bucket wash, then a Meguire's claybar treatment, then the NXT 2.0 finish. The Adam's stuff looks nice.

The Body Shop at the dealer actually gave me a large bottle of 3M Perfect-It Ultrafine Swirl Remover - said it was slighly more abbrasive than clay but works really well for fine touch up - watched him use it right in front of my eyes and it was pretty impressive.

And go figure, there's a Mustang in the background - can't drive a mile without seeing one on the road these days and this picture proves it.

AK, how does it look today?

brakedrift12

u said u use NXT 2.0? what about the wax? or does it go "wash+wax in one"? BTW, nice clean wash

Ak, the Adams Detailing kit looks like a great set up, how did you learn of it? Or in other words, what made you choose Adams over another? I always felt that an overall reliable fall-back was the Meguires products, but know there are better out there, just have to find them.

Isnt the Clay bar for older paint jobs? not for a brand new car since the clay bar kinda hides some old blemishes.
