The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XVI

Pintsize725 · 12-06-2014, 06:28 PM

After meeting the hubs for lunch, I decided to take the toll way bridge to south 183 and get a car wash. Coming around the corner on the highest point of the bridge, I see a cop and tow truck. I edge up a bit more and see a Porsche stopped sideways and the front end/side smashed up.

Guess he thought he could take the bridge at a higher speed.

Anywho, I cleaned up the exhaust ends after I got home and realized that no cats is turning my bumper brown. I might have to swap them out for HFCs or get some spats installed.

A little cleaner wax will fix up the stains easily

Now I don't feel so bad about how my garage has been treating my Miata.

Cleaner wax? Is that just regular wax?

I was going to get some clay and try that.

Googled and found this tidbit. Never knew this existed until now.

Is there a rule to using "CLEANER WAX"?

Here is just one example of thousands, pick your favorite brand.
http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...er-wax-liquid/

It's easy to apply, no scrubbing and easy on the paint.

Thanks for the info! reps for you!

I have another question though, if you think you could help. Can I use a clay bar on my exhaust tips? Nevr Dull isn't cutting through the build up on top.

I would think that clay wouldnt touch the build up if nevrdull isnt. I am not 100% sure though, I have never tried clay on anything but paint/glass.
cant hurt to rip off a small chunk of clay and give it a whirl.
