Mmmmmmmmm rootbeer float Z

 

That color came out really good, nice job on the wrap!

 

Gave her my first wash today

 

hold out your hand so i can smack it.... dont use brushes at the car wash on your paint...

 

Gotta represent Pennsylvania...

 

Since you were calling people out


You should never ever ever use waterless wash on your car. He is doing a far better (and still got horrible) job and not ruining his paint.


If your not using a foam cannon then the two bucket method, while also only washing one panel at a time, top first, then back around and bottom......your doing it wrong


But idk about you. I don't have time for that

 

it is not waterless technically. i guarantee that i have way less scratches that you do by doing my "waterless" method

he isn't ruining his paint, but he is scratching the hell out of it

 

so you know.... i do the two bucket method with grit guards. about 4 gallons of water in each, onr in one, clear water in the other. the car gets a high pressure spray down to get some of the big stuff off first, then one panel at a time, starting with roof. i have onr in a spray bottle that i coat the panel with before the mitt touches it. the lower parts of the car i use a grout sponge from detailed image (holds a ton of water.) blot dry with waffle towel, spray panel with optimum gloss enhancer and dry with rethickulus microfiber towel.

yeah i get it about taking time.... it takes me about 2 hours

 

3 buckets better.. and get a paint gun fill with onr solution and compress air as prespray helps even more

 

3rd for the wheels, right. i do those at the very end and just spray them down with spray bottle.... have some towels i only use on the wheels

 

You guys took it way too seriously lol


I did all that for about.......8 months. Then I stopped caring. Especially on my Z it's lucky to get washed once every two months. Track car does care about swirls lol

 

ive done it for years, I know of a track car without swirls,, haha

 

All this talk of detailing makes me want to drive down a muddy road.

 

I just drove mine on a gravel road this past weekend. I still haven't washed it, but she's in a garage at the moment.

 

this site needs a thumb down..

 

I know, it's terrible of me. Got so busy after the road trip and had to prep the house for new siding, new roof, help a friend install his window motor for the Z, and then take down my fence. I was tired. I failed.

 

You should see my wheels after the track lol

 

I'm sure mine are just as dirty...

 

Let's see who takes longer to wash theirs then lol

 

Oh h3ll to the no, I get bugs crawling on my skin when I don't wash every week or 2. #MagBlack. All good ; )
