and all the f-king numbers you have to remember in their system.. :shakes head:

this day and age, one spray wax or spray polymer is plenty imho. keep the car detailed more frequently.

which would you prefer:

3-4hrs each time to wax... lasts maybe one-2 months in real world.
5min each time to spray wax... lasts maybe 2-3wks in real world.

prefer the latter and just keep applying. i dont have 3-4hrs to wax.
my details usually take 16-20hrs each time.

:rofl2: yah, my dd is a hunk of salt :barf: right now. sooo dirty.

but yah, i completely agree. im totally happy that my Z and G are salt free and spotless in my garage. :p

that $19K cash was well spent. considering there is no way i would ever be able to find another G in my G's near new condition. :D

yah, i do use SprayOn wax over polymers and it can look fantastic. it depends on the finish you want. on my silver cars, very shiny is fine, but if you do that on darker colors your car will suddenly become invisible. :confused: (very reflective).

that's one reason why i say "No to Zaino." too plasticy shiny. :ugh:
:iagree: I'm planning to buy a brand new bumper and get it painted eventually. Then I'll just swap it out when I want the car to looks nice :icon17:

Yeah, shiny is good, but a mirror finish isn't what I want because it has no depth. I don't want to have to look really hard at the car to tell what color it is. A good wax should show off the color of the car in addition to providing a great shine.

:icon17: August 2017 is the official scheduled date for retirement. :D

so still plenty of time to :driving: but im not going to be driving my G that hard any more. i want her to be the dressup girl with them work wheels and all. :yum:

i might do a catback if the stocker wears before her retirement date. i really like the sound of the stock system so want to keep her that way.

kenchan 02-18-2014 02:32 PM
on the other hand, my Z will be my sport car. i will drive her spiritedly as designed. :D
