one thing i would do if you havent... sonax fallout cleaner (or something similar), clay bar, and wax.... get all the crap out of your paint. the sonax will make your car look like it is bleeding.... where it is reacting is where you have contaminants in your paint

Interesting, I'll have to take a look at that. I have a really nice clay setup from CG as well as their clay luber which works fantastically. Also, their V-line polishes and Jet Seal are fantastic if you've not used them.

It's down to the point where I find myself using the Ecosmart Ready to Use product quite often because of how much protection is already on top of my paint. I can really just wipe away almost anything now

Oh hai guys. Just took it out for a quick drive after ~2 months of inactivity. It ran pretty well and is still fun! Now back in the garage cooling off,

Good to see your car looking clean as ever. Most zs I see on the road looks like garbage now.

Yeah man! I was hell bent on selling it last year but wussed out / lost motivation, and I was pretty sure that I'd be bored with after letting it sit all winter but when it started right up and the tires weren't flat spotted I sort of got excited all over again. I'm even thinking about putting some money into it this spring in the form of new brake rotors (mine feel like they have a high spot based on the pulsation I feel in the pedal) and maybe even a short shift kit.

I notice the same thing around here. Most of the ones I see are 03-05 models and are all beat to **** and/or slammed to the ground. It has become the new 240sx. But I have so say I've never seen too many of them in my area throughout my 10 years of ownership, so to have one with the 06+ head/taillights and in good shape still feels kind of special to drive around, and believe it or not it still turns heads!

This is beyond true. for some reason our area doesn't seem to be flooded with them. And compared to other places around the country, the Z's around here tend to hold value better

The sides and rears are Nismo replicas that I ordered from Shine. The front is a VIS Nismo V2 replica that I picked up from a member locally.
