I love how the paint work cleans up on this car...
Now, how do you keep it like this ??!!

 

Micro fibre, Final Inspection, and never washing with a wash mitten. With an occasional buff/polish also.

I love the color but I could never own one. I'd go crazy keeping it clean.

 

Yeah, its a hard color to keep clean... Clay bar'd it today too.

What are you using instead ofba wash mit?

 

Most of the shops I've worked at that weren't production would rinse the dirt off with water, then use a blow gun to dry it off. Then use the Final Inspection or Hand Glaze with a micro fiber cloth to wipe it down.

I personally don't really think a wash mitten is bad for it as long as you take the extra precautions to keep it super clean along with the shammy also. If I owned one I'd probably use the mitten/shammy. Then lightly buff with rubbing compound any scratches I seen then machine polish the whole car, and finish with the hand glaze or final inspection. That is the reason why I don't own one.

 

how much did you get those wheels for

 

$14k!!
They were on it when I bought it!

They may be up for sale... soon as I find something else I like the look of.
Check the 370z forum. They show up there for around $1500.

 

Very nice man!

I love those wheels drool!!!

Thanks... 69k when I bought it in Jan. Only 73k now.
It's a 2008 Touring.

 

LOL!
I hear ya... it is if you want to keep it clean, like this.
I'm glad it's a 2nd car otherwise I'd be on a real roller coaster ride.
Happy after driving it, pissed off when I see how dirty it is!

 

Black, the best looking color when it's polished and waxed properly and an absolute pig to keep it that way.

 

That would explain the smell!!

 

I've fully polished my black ZR twice since I bought it at the end of January. Round three begins tomorrow. I will not be beaten by swirls!
