It was kind of awkward after that social gaffe.
PS: BlackCherry20, a pic of you with your car would be nice.

oops! However, that has happened to my husband and I.

Foam cannons are great!

I adjusted my rear sway, so I can hopefully avoid killing myself, and finished the Plasti-clean on the door handles. Goo Gone works wonders on the stuff.

dip dissolve works well too.. from dipyourcar.com it practically eats away the dip and just hose it off to get the rest off.

Experimented with a new product called "WipeNew" to add color and restore your black plastic pieces on the Z that have faded due to the sun

I used it on the black plastic pieces above and between the fangs, chin spoiler, and the plastic by the mirrors and it worked pretty well.

I also posted up a write up in the cosmetic/detailing section if anyone wishes to read.

Anyone get a sense of excitement when they see another 370 on the road? Maybe it's just me since it's rare to see another one around my neck of the woods.

Detailed under the hood, washed and covered for this week's thunderstorms.

Better?

Photoshop.

Seriously, I use Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer with microfiber towels. On the shiny things I use Never Dull wadding and then a quick buff with microfiber.
