Washed my Z today and cleaned/treated the seats with Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Wipes. I have to say that I didn't expect much from these little moist toilettes, but for a quick detail i think they did a pretty food job.
What do you all use? |

As far as toe, the Nissan dealer went with Hunter's Win Align software and total toe is what counts versus individual toe matching, so I was told. Not sure if I am biting on that though. I did go with a conservative (tire saving) setting on the toe. No accidents, and what puzzels me is the great difference in the camber between the front wheels. Makes me wonder if a part has worn and needs replaced. Have 26k miles on the car. These are so difficult to pin point what is throwing the alignment off so much. How it drives? No pulling or driving weird, actually has quicker steering response since I had the rear camber set to the current setting. I am going to fork over another Ben Franklin for another alignment at another shop. Anyone in my area have a recommended alignment shop? |

Actually it was yesterday. I took my Z for it's first servicing (1500 miles) and got locking lugs and Z valve stem caps. Also it got it's yearly NY inspection done. The interstate that I have to drive there on suxs. Potholes everywhere. Strangly the only thing I hit was a dead animal on the edge of the road. I had another car infront of me and was checking my mirrors so I didn't have time to avoid it. Luckily no damage. When you only have about 3 inches of ground clearance you worry alot. LOL. Going to do some serious wash and wax today and tomorrow to get ready for the Carlisle Show this weekend.

at the end of the day alignment numbers are just reference numbers though... when you got your weight, your passenger's, gas, tire psi, small changes occur. if your car is driving fine and appears to be driving straight (have your buddy drive behind you to verify) i'd just leave it. as for the front camber hard to say... it could be wear but it can also be just programmed out of the factory. i guess you can get a-arms and then take it into another shop, get it all dialed in. |

I use 303 for the interior surfaces, then Wolfgang and Lexol for the leather surfaces.

I love the Meguiar's Gold Class but I have it in the spray bottle, been using em from day one on my seats. It makes the leather look great and it smells good too

All of my cars get Meguiars products inside and out. Now for the Adams/Griots/Other elitists to chime in.
