Mine got a bath: Reset and some reload spray by Car pro...

Car was garaged for 7 years, now parked outside the past year.

The ceramic coating from carpro has truly been a wonderful investment of time/effort.

Question: has anyone here done just a very basic engine clean on their 370z? I've never cleaned mine since I bought new, but I think it's time to spray it down. I've only used simple green in the past. Any suggestions? Any areas to avoid?

In Arches National Park (I've done about 120+ trips to Arches in the past 14 months...) - That's the "Three gossips" and "Sheeprock" in the backround

I bought 2 of these garden sprayers. One has Simple Green in it and the other has water. They work great because you can control the spray and keep the Simple Green and water away from area's you don't want/need it

I spray down some cleaner like carpro multix, then cover that with a blast from the foam cannon.
Then scrub with my wheel brushes.
Finish the Koch Chemie motorplast
Haven't had a problem yet.

The vibration is present under throttle and cruising. Braking makes it go away once the speed decreases below 50 mph.

I generally don't have a problem with brake pad deposits. I brake hard all the time and I don't stand on them at rest.
