Well my car has been safely tucked away in the garage for the weekend... But this morning.. I opened the garage and the water trapped in folds poured on my car.... So she needs another cleaning.

Yeah... Haha... Just finished the wax coat... Waiting for it to cure.. to buff it out..

.. Only thing is I can't wax the clear bra.. :/ which sucks cause you can kinda tell the difference between it and the non clear bra... Thinking twice about the clear bra... Plus dirt can get stuck in the edges of the bra... Then you can't get it off...

Oh and does anyone know a way to polish or clean properly a clear bra... Cause I clean it like I clean my windows... Works fine, but anything better???

USMCram · 12-11-2011, 09:11 PM

clearbra can be waxed. theres a DIY about installing the clearbra, he talks about how he maintained it as well.

USMCram · 12-11-2011, 09:19 PM

Think hard before you take it off. I'll show you my rock chips on tuesday..

Joe711 · 12-11-2011, 10:15 PM

eric8x · 12-11-2011, 10:16 PM

No I probably won't take it off... It's just a trade off I guess... That I will have to live with... I'll look into the waxing thanks!

Well I use turtle wax car wash... It's great cause it doesn't streak... And then a gloss preserver from Polysteel... It's pretty good...

I'm afraid of buffers.... I'm a huge fan of the clay bar, but it's alot of work.. Wash, dry, claybar, cleaner wax, buff, wax then buff that.

And don't forget to treat your Z to a nice wash... Especially if she got a taste of yesterday's rain...

Well...... I am not sure what I was smoking when I said this.... But Tuesday won't be a walk in the park... Well it will probably be much like today with a rainy morning, but then calm down as the afternoon approaches.. I pretty sure it will be just fine around the time we are planning to get together... maybe some damp roads, but thats all... Might need to stay off the expressway and do a chill cruise on old 83, to avoid getting unnecessary water/dirt on our Z's... But we shall see as the time approaches, but as of now the event is still a go.

Here's a view of the weather for that day...

USMCram · 12-12-2011, 07:31 AM

Damn weather. My car is even dirtier now. The drive to work this morning really got her filthy. Anyway,
I use meguiars ultimate paste wax. It's easy to use, and does a decent job at protecting. I was considering a carnauba wax, but read that those are a lot of work.

You Guys do it by hand ? I was thinking like a porter cable
