Who pimped out the ride today!

texmedic · 11-17-2009, 03:35 PM

Well I got a new wax this morning and well 3 hours later.....

Very black, very nice

Just a thought, if your trying to show off how nice your polish job is, wouldn't it be better to not have it sitting in the shade??

Absolutely! but I was pressed for time and it was more of a whim to take the pics. I wanted to do some cool back drop with the ride pics but I think I need some time and work on finding a good place. I got a new black Turtle wax kit today that I gave a shot and it came out pretty nice! It was only gonna be a quick clean and then I got all into the detail. You know how it is!

LoL Yeah, it usually takes me all sunday to get my car all primped, with the Washing, Drying, Waxing, Interior and polishing... Fun stuff..

I Use the ICE product line for the wash/wax/detailing myself...

that ice wax, in paste form at least, sucks for light colored colors. If that sh*t gets in the creases of your car and you miss it when getting the wax off it stains that part blue...I had it happen to me. I stay away from that form of "Ice" wax...there other stuff is pretty good though.

I have been using the ice but I saw this special kit for black cars from Turtle wax. It was a two step waxing thing but then I get all crazy with clay bar and then I'm in too deep! Only thing that sucks is I get to intimate with the car and see a few new F@#cking rock chips on the nose. I swear this Z is a magnet for rocks! I gotta get out the touch up paint tomorrow and finish the new rock chips!

OMFG, Don't tell me you really use that shitty foam wax **** on the Z...

Use normal wax and take care your ride especially cause it's black! I hope I don't hear that you wash your ride in a circular motion...

Meguiers NXT Generation wash, clay, and tech wax puts a nice finish on the PW. Speed detailer for clay lube. Not a super hi-gloss look, but wet enough and very classy. Highly recommended.

I'm not sure what you mean. I would probably understand better if one of you fine gentlemens would come out and detail my ride for me and I will watch and learn!!! I'll buy the beer!

Crickets? damn it I can never talk anyone into anything!

I use them on my Black Sand Pearl (Black) tC and let me tell you, it looks goregous when it's done. And I make sure to go through every seam inspecting for polish buildup... but that's what I would do with any polishing.

I hear you on that, front bumper, hood, and both doors all have rock chips. They wouldn't stand out if it was a lighter color car, but yeah on black, its a serious eyesore. I need to get some touch up paint myself. A kit specially for Black cars... I will have to look into this

Ok to clarify, NO I DO NOT USE THE FOAM WASH. Please give me some credit here

It was just the only good pic I could find that had Most of the products I use... And yes don't worry I do take very good care of my baby. (However not a Z yet, just a few more months of saving to go.

)

I used to use that until I saw the ICE come out and everyone said that was the sh!t. LoL On another note the ICE has a very distinctive smell to it lol.
