Odd thing...
 

Odd thing - generally when it's raining I don't drive my Z, because I hate cleaning it (Black Z, and I'm scratch-prone/OCD perfectionist)...however the other day, it'd been raining all day, and having had my Z sitting in the garage all winter and only driven it a few times so far this year, it'd collected quite a bit of dust....

Still rainy day + dusty Z = something to get me to clean my Z as I'd not want all those water spots...with me so far? (Yes, I'm odd like that...the rain spots would give me incentive to take care of it)

So I drove it quite a bit...it got quite wet of course...parked it in my garage. I opened the door this morning, and it's perfectly clean save for about 3-4 spots.

WTF.

Not that I'm complaining, but, I was not expecting that...so it's clean enough to where I'm not going to bother with it - lol...

Sounds like a win to me. Good wax?

Yep, I have not done my long day of cleaning on my car (wash/claybar/wax/etc.), but last year after doing a nice cleaning with wax it rained the next day and after the rain it was spotless. :)

Ya I've actually washed my car once, and the only the front bumper cause of bugs twice, just doesn't show the dirt and comes clean in rain

Definite win for a black Z, a good wax/sealant goes along way in paint upkeep.

j/k but wtf man cut loose :eekdance:

Must be some REALLY good wax, as it was put on July of last year. Griot's, I think is what the detailer used.

I've just washed it using Zaino car wash solution a couple times, and even that was pretty dilluted.

Sadly, I have about $300 worth of Zaino waiting to be used, but as I'm so lazy, I've not used any of it...and I won't until I get a DA Polisher...lol

i use Griot's and it does repel water very well. like water will just bounce off the panels pretty much.

OP I'm not a fan of you lol. I Hate Arizona. It rains here, and your car actually gets DIRTIER?!!!? :wtf:


:mad:

I'm in Oklahoma too. My car definitely gets dirtier in the rain :(

It was probably the acid rain of the midwest. You just resurfaced your car.

I'm not sure what the dealer put on the car but the stuffs bad ***

That was my thought, but I guess it'd rained enough that the dirt was already gone...it was also a light rain, not the Noah's Ark levels we sometimes get...

Haha, yeah.. We had a light drizzle all weekend which usually just leaves massive waters spots down the rear quarter-panels and everywhere else I suppose.. I just left her in the garage for the weekend :tup:

Finally settled down all that damn pollen too..

Got alot of pollen in Md right now and along rain makes a sad looking Z.

And I thought I was OCD-prone! Relax and enjoy your mean ride, dude! Greetings.
