mr.jar- i would use it while wiping dry so that your spray wax can add lubricity and let your waffle glide. at least that's how i use prima hydro.
and you dont NEED to clay before wax. it's better you have no contaminants on the paint to maximize wax/polymer adhesion, but not necessary especially if spray wax as it's a quicky like mr.alcheng said. wheew, just got done inspecting my new HU for fit, re-position the gopro in my Z, and some other stuff for the house. ordered up another plate frame as the one i got today was kinda . hope the new one i ordered comes through.. griots stopped selling plate frames so i can't get the same ones ive been using with great success. |

That's the truth. I just had a small sample size (7 oz I think) and it's more than half gone after one use on the Z. Still, If I get a full size bottle, it should last about a year since I won't be using it during the full wash, clay, and wax sessions.

Use a microfiber cloth and you're fine.
I would just like to take this time to say that my MIL is the worst dishwasher-loader I have ever seen. I just noticed the dishes were done so I thought I would be nice and unload it. This is what I find. FML. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364864975.737693.jpg Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

No, the owner wasn't sure the wrap wwould stick so he tested it with just this one side. I'm texting him now to see if there is a better way to go about it or if this is it. If this is it, I'm getting in touch with a bodyshop to get it painted.

Mr. JAR - now that my work schedule is lightening up, I'd be more than happy to bring my Griot's stash to casa JAR for a wax "Tech Day". I've got both the 3" and 6" random orbital buffers and enough products to even make ms. pint happy (whose car we can work on too!). Might ask for a corner of a room to unroll a sleeping bag on, for the night, but happy to help.

Here are the results of my first experience with Adam's Metal Polish 1 and 2:
Nissan 370Z Forum - JARblue's Album: Adams Metal Polish I am quite happy with the results. This stuff definitely works better than any metal polishing products I tried previously. In fact, they never worked, which is probably the reason my exhaust tips got as dirty as they did. Here is a close up after an initial clean with Windex

And here are the final results
