What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Moved the Z from one garage to the other, spring cleaning time! Garage was filthy after winter.

Engine oil change for Morbid370Z and engine and transmission oil change for enrique_370 at JARblue's friendly neighborhood garage this morning

That was followed by lunch with Mr. Morbid and Ms. Pint Lunch also included an interesting crappy parker encounter that is documented in the crappy parking thread.

I have already heard back that Mr. Enrique is very pleased with the Redline upgrade in his MT :driving

I started the junkmans and paint correction/protection on the drivers side.

Yeah it's a 2015 but it's has some apparent micro scratches in the clear coat on some of the panels. Dirt seems to get in them and really shows up on the pearl white paint.

I clayed it, used the Meguiars 105 ultra cut compound and then Meguiars 205 ultra polish both with The Porter Cable 7424XP. Once done with the whole car I will use Hi Temp Terminator sealant. It came out nice. Shines better than the untreated panels which is good considering the car is basically brand new and should shine pretty good already.

Also dressed the tires with Optibond tire gel. I like that stuff.

Louise and I went on a four hour cruise (back roads) from home to the Catoctin Mountains (hills) and Hunting Creek Lake. Did not take the path to Cunningham Falls though. Just walked around. Stopped for dinner in Old Town Fredrick at Olives for dinner.

Did my first trackday of the year. The first two sessions. Thought that I was driving a tank. That's what it fell like. Had alot of cobbwebs to clear out of my head. The last two sessions, things started to come together.

Make sure to get a vid or two,those never get old! The last one you posted was music to my ears. Nothing like hearing a 370 wound out to the nuts! Have an awsome season man.

It's good stuff. Doesn't make the tires look wet but just makes them look black like they should.
