Happy Saturday!!

I haven't been very forthcoming with this information, but anyone whose seen my car would have no trouble believing that I have not detailed the Z in full since last Fall. I was even asked if I painted the wheels bronze because they were so dirty

So I started the process yesterday using mostly an array of Adam's products. The interior is vacuumed and all panels have been wiped and treated - the only thing left is to treat the seats. I removed the wheels so I could wash the barrels and easily access the calipers and fender liners for cleaning. I treated the fender liners with an Adam's Undercarriage Wash (smells delicious but annoyingly slippery to work with). I also detailed the engine bay, including removing all cowls for cleaning and Super VRT treatment, wiping down all visible lines and hoses, strut bar and engine cover removal and cleaning, wiping down intake piping and air box, and Super VRT treatment for all rubber weatherstripping and gaskets on the hood and in the engine compartment.

Today on the docket is wash, clay, polish 1, polish 2, glaze, sealant wax, buttery wax. Whee!

Admitting you have a problem is the first step. It is one day at a time brother.

...speaking of which, I am off to a meeting -- it's a good way to start a Saturday, with fellowship and complaining...
