Default Car wash tips plz!!!

well, as the summer comes near, Im thinking of getting car wash for my Z.

I got her coated with something like 'no more waxes for your car for 10 years' done through out and inside.

I really wanna give a good care for my z and just want to know what kind of equipments do i need

by the way, this is my first car wash since i got her ... hehe

Absolutely. Only thing I never got around to doing was dropping it. But I'm saving everything now for the Z which should be here in a week-ish.

I use 3-4 cloths each time I wax it. I'll use them basically 1 for the front, 1 for each side, and 1 for the back. Then wash, dry, reuse.

Shocks + Springs in one assembly, Look in the Suspension Section, there are several different brands to go with. They are preferred over stock because you can adjust the amount of suspension force thereby raising/lowering the stance of your car.

If you wanna take the time to get your car on a lift to get in there to them sure, you can clean them with regular soap/water... when you wash the car normally you'll hit them good enough.

You're really pushing it, I didn't think you could post 4 times in one minute...
