The tricky part with the 370z glass is that it seems to like to spot very easily and more so than in any other car I have or have had. Uh-oh, I hope I don't start people down the Nissan glass-bashing (like paint-bashing) path.

What I found that works good with this product is to follow up immediately with a dry MF to prevent streaking/spotting.

We can add it to the "My Engine Runs Hot" and "My Performance Car is Loud Inside" suits. What do you think? I think we should. Have a nice day. Or, as they say at the US Navy Fighter Weapon School, "Have a Bogey Day".

Werd, I use Griots WindowCleaner and dedicated glass MF towel. Its the right towel that makes the difference for glass imo. The glass MF towel I got from Prima Car Care. the strands are looped and not cut loose like regular detailing MF towel.

For interior side of the glass I use Prima Clarity. This stuff is safe on even LCD's and tints.

^Weather must be good today for spraying.

Made an appointment for another alignment, this time at Firestone. They have a promo going on for lifetime alignment (every 6k miles or when needed) for a one time charge of $149. Beats the dealer one time alignment fee of $99 and Firestone also has the Hunter Rack...woot..woot.
