60 grit

Acrillic finish/sealant
Light buff over cured acrylic

Total time 1.5 hours of continuous sand/buff. (I watched on and asked a ton of questions so I can do myself next time)

Good to know, thanks for posting that!

I hate you, my Z is getting pounded right now

Can't wait to see your mods in person, I will take a bunch of pics! Any plans for wheels, if not your OEM's still look good with spacers

LOL, the rains pounded today. Glad I did not take it to work. Really torn between a new set of wheels or coilovers Waizzz.

Did a redline fluid swap today. Oil change, trans and diff fluid flush refilled with redline. That craps pretty nasty and I only had 15k on the car!

I went out last night for a drink downtown and ran into that same convertible black cherry that I see all over town. Evo r rear diffuser, 40th wheels, side skirts, springs and spacers. I watched him park as I was walking into a club to meet some strange. Anyways, long story short I was throwing back a couple beers and met some cool chicks and there was one other dude there that I met and we were all talking to these girls. I see this dude pull out his iPhone and had the front of a 370z as a wallpaper so I asked if he drove one and sure enough it was his that I've seen all over town. What are the odds!? Real cool guy about 50-55 years old, bought me a beer and we talked about the Z's.

Sorry for the long story. Just thought it was awesome finally meeting the dude driving tha sweet looking vert and just the way we ran into each other was cool. 4 good looking 40-50 year olds with silicone chests lol and us! (I'm just 26)

they're fitness models....

Took out the Z and C300 both for some tender loving hand wash and detailing with the fiancé.

CDepp · 02-09-2013, 06:38 PM

See! I told you so!

RustyM2001 · 02-09-2013, 06:39 PM

Braved the wind and cold air to clean my black beauty. Then went on a back road excursion. If gas was cheaper, I'd still be driving around.

JARblue · 02-09-2013, 07:54 PM

Since it rained today, I couldn't wash the car. I detailed the interior, and on a whim, I painted the shift boot trim to color match my car (KAD). It's a very subtle change, but I like it and plan to do the same to more interior pieces

isayimandrew · 02-09-2013, 07:58 PM

added illuminated kickplates to the car!

This was from Fri. But I need to reorient the windshield bottle. It's full but I'm getting warning that it is low.

Waiz · 02-09-2013, 09:42 PM

Today would have been wash day but my afternoon nap ended up taking longer than I wanted, tmrw will be wash day

UnReal · 02-09-2013, 09:53 PM

Seems like I wasn't the only one washing my car today
