Last night, I washed my Z...

I watch the news in the morning...30% chance of rain, but only for areas north of Tulsa.

Cool - I'll drive my Z.

Less than an hour after I get to work - it's raining...and only enough to get the car dirty again before the sun comes out and bakes it off, leaving water spots.

At least you have a Z for that to happen to >:O!!

Oh my god....we don't care! stop these ridiculous threads.

That happens to me everytime I wash the car. Meguier's quick detail spray works well for after a bit of rain, and Armorall tire gel is, amazingly, the best tire dressing I have ever used (and I was a professional detailer 18 years ago). That stuff doesn't even come off in a car wash.

im pretty tolerant, but im starting to side with you on this. just "that" more crap to sort through when i have ten free minutes at the computer to find something of value, or interest.

seriously, windshield shade threads? "it rained"? i washed my car and almost crashed?

sounds like a 16 yr old commando behind the keyboard.....

Its not that hard for people to click on a thread and just ignore it - i mean leaving a comment only increases the chance that the thread in question blows up. I for one dont mind it as I still feel the ratio of info and fact to random tidbits is still quite good.

Sorry, I thought all of these fit under a description of "Nissan 370z general discussions" since they are all 370z related comments/questions.

You should try visiting the tech sections.

These aren't really "discussions"...I'd suggest the lounge...

Lounge is for anything non-370z related.

This is still z related...

You see, I washed my Z, it rained despite the weather report this morning saying otherwise, and I'm unhappy that I'll have water spots, so I was indirectly asking what would be the best way to address it/them.

Additionally, I was also subliminally commenting about the clearcoat being too thin...

So, yeah, this is relevant.

This happens all the time. Washing your car is like doing a rain dance.
