Had Mike do a set of rear calipers for me, quick turn around and the quality is top notch. Under indoor lighting a bright orange, outside shade flips to a goldish tint, in the sun the orange pops again. Had some time this morning and popped one on. Couldn't be more happier.

Your brake calipers look great and for sure that's the work from fellow forum member "Mike The Powder Coater" a true artist...........

Went by the Austin Z Clinic today while I was out. The guy lives there with his wife and does all the work himself. Shot the $hit with him for about 20 min while he worked on the brakes for a very G37. Seems like a real good guy
That being said, the bushing removal tool he has is actually for a 350Z. We took a look at it, and I hope the suspension bits behind the cross member (opposite the diff) don't get in the way. Otherwise, he'll just have to spend the time to remove some extra bits. I'm just glad someone who knows what they're doing will be working on it. I will be dropping the car off tonight for him to work on in the morning

QD'd some bird poo off my door and roof on my lunch break.
I realize I can't keep dirt completely off the car, but would anything help someone who parks in a construction type lot with dirt stirred up daily?

a good coat of polymer on the panels and california duster would help. but if there's dew or rain on the car then it's better to just use QD. or try the griot's sprayon car wash and use it as QD. that thing has SUPER lubricity. spray liberally, wipe vertically first with only clean part of towel, then use a clean side of mf towel to wipe off the rest. |

Assuming she comes away from the shop all ready to go with a new rear diff bushing today, I will do my best to reward her this weekend with a full 6 step exterior detail (wash, clay, polish, finish, glaze, wax) on those panels that need polishing. I polished the hood, roof and front fenders last detail, so they will just get the glaze and wax after wash and clay I haven't done the door panels mainly because I drive with the windows down 95% of the time. If I used hands-free BT for my phone, I would probably would have done it a long time ago. I did the trunk probably 2+ years ago
