There like a foam pad divided into squares. They seem to clean real well. And seem very safe on the paid.
yes, i have the shmitt and the ultmitt. They are both good. I did some testing and found they dont' marr up or swirl the paint like other stuff. They are great.

For the z, in order for the d3 to work, you will need the following:
dash kit for 03-05
wiring harness for 350z
The other hardware i believe you said you can get. The ipod wire and the blue tooth wire. You have to get the one that is made for this unit though.

I use the Mothers 3-step wax treatment. Best I've found but it's time consuming. At least you only have to do Step 1(oxidization) every 6 months to 1 year,Step 2(sealer & glaze) and Step 3(pure carnauba wax) as much as you want.
The wax comes in liquid or paste. I use paste so thats why its time consuming for me. I spend a usual 6-7 hours
on a full 3-Step treatment. I know, insane, but its my prized possesion & the shine worth it.
Sorry no pics, car is parked...

damn i used to use that 3 step to but the 1st step was i used to clay bar the Z. . then do the 3 stage. . .but now all i do is step one. .Wax CLeaner then hit it up with #7 polish. ..and bam Shiney. . .i was just thinking there was something better in one step. .
thats all with those 2 steps . . .the close up lookin like the Mo Money video. .was just step 1. . .
