I got really tired of seeing water spots and fingerprints on the door handles. So, I polished them today. Great turn out.

Also cleaned the tailpipe residue and polished the Exhaust tips

Some clean pics (wash + wax)

Florida_GATOR · 07-26-2009, 04:46 PM

Those exhaust tips look awesome AK!

2theextreme · 07-26-2009, 07:03 PM

Looking good!

WOW....nice job! What products (brand/type) did you use?

BTW.....my tint started curling on the one window as you said might happen. I even gave it a couple of extra days to cure before I rolled them down.

I called Ryan from SOG and he said not a problem....bring it in and they'll take care of it. He said that they have only done a handful of 370s so far and which he has had to redo 2 of them. It's that damn window mechanism...grrrr.....haha.

Nice touch on the door handles and tips. I'll definitely consider it.

MightyBobo · 07-27-2009, 11:07 AM

I always polish my tips every wash. Its far too easy

.

Personally, I use the Mothers Mag polish/shine stuff in the little white tin, and a microfiber cloth that will never ever touch the paint or anything else on the car for that matter. Works great, with minimal scrubbing. Its surprising how much of that exhaust likes to cake up on the bottom of the tips...

just a generic metal polisher from PepBoys. I have noticed the shine DOESN'T last too long but it's def better than leaving as is.

SOG is awesome. I think My Z is one of the two that had to be redone. VERY helpful and redid my windows WITHOUT asking a single question! They just got themselves a LIFETIME customer

I really wanted to but because of my dad being sick, I racked up some good mileage on the Z and crossed 10K already. I'll def come soon.
