I don't plan on driving my ZR in the rain. It is primarily a sunny weather fun car for top-down driving (I have never driven it with the top up over the last 3 months and 3,000 miles of ownership).

When it starts to rain, ZR will be resting in the garage while I temporarily switch to driving the Maxima, my daily driver.

The previous owner of mine drove it during the winter

so it's been oil sprayed....everywhere even in the engine bay area. It's not pretty anymore but at least it repels water

Took the Z out last night. 1st time in 3 weeks. She's a garage queen.

that's bit of an overkill. its only water, not battery acid or paint remover. just dont drive the Z in the snow or hail.
