Ha, some people will never understand. Detailing is kind of therapeutic and relaxing to me, plus I always enjoy knowing that I have the cleanest car in any area I go.

My neighbors used to car me car boy since the first month I had the Z, I had the garage door up and the car on jack stands doing something every week haha.
haha Thanks Christian... yes, I knew you meant body shots of the car. We wouldn't want this thread closed out now do we??? lol.

So today, I kenchan'd my Z to a buddy's house to pick up the Amsoil we ordered. I am getting ready for my last oil change of the season, before she gets stored away for winter

But anyways, before that, I delivered the Vette I was working on ALL WEEK to its owner this morning. 10 hours of work later, that is So christian, here is the response to your request for some pics... more INFO (including all the steps and work done for this monster project) in this link in the Lounge/DSLR section:

Up at 5 to wash the Z for Cars and Coffee. What a blast! We had over 150 cars, trucks, and bikes today. I will get some pics up later.

Dude, this one is the 6mt! Apparently one of a small number in the country. I will get some pics next time we pull the cover off. It is red and it is hot!!!

Those look great! Nicely done. I think those skirts, diffuser, and the cf fangs would look perfect on a BlackCherry vert.

Yep, a few folks have. Seems like u need to get screws and nuts to make it work right though.

Got home opened the garage and found a few spots of dirty water from the power washer on the z but not too bad. I'm glad I put the beach towel on the car cause it was slightly damp. QD'ed and wiped down the glass as well.

Also dusted and spot QD'ed my G. Cleaned her wheels and plugged her to the battery manager for a nap until Mon am when I take her out again to go to work.

No Z action for me today. Drove the Xterra to work. My daughter asked me to take her husbands R32 out for a romp (he is an a far away place). I hasn't been out for a couple of weeks. First time I have driven it. Fun car! It has intake, exhaust, and a multi-program tune. I is sitting on the mild tune and feels really good.

It is raining now and I just got home. Supposed to stop in the early hours. Guess I will be up EARLY detailing the ZR for C&C. I will get some photos up tomorrow or Sunday. Later gang!

Looking for a local detailer for paint correction in the Daytona Beach area today. Wish me luck, because my Z needs some work.
