Of course, the million dollar question is "Are you doing it correctly"? Is your Z going to look like a spiders-web of scratches and swirls? Are you a disciple of the Autopian way?

Guess others already beat me to the "well, have I got plenty of other cars for you to wash' response. Oh well! Anyway, to avoid the problems mentioned above check out the valuable link a Meguiar's. I think in June my350Z day was there - just a little before your "Z" time and it was great. Here's the link:

http://www.meguiarsonline.com/

Search my350 to see that day's activities. But more important, if you go to FORUMs and find "INFORMATION STATION" it has plenty of info on getting and keeping your car looking like a showcar. BTW- Mike Phillips our host for that day is/was from Apple Valley and says you'll have to wash your car all the time due the dry/dusty conditions!!! BTW - congrats on your Z Orangeflash!

Hey thanks Zphile for that. I was wondering where I could go to get the swirls out of my car. Had a quick read through Meguiarsonline and it is awesome. Highly recommend it to anyone else looking to really take care of their Z.

Default Is it ok to spray car off daily?

I cant stand to see my new Z dirty either. And I love driving it around. So for somewhereto drive it, i stop at a car wash just to spray it off. It stays very clean but was unsure if this could be unsafe for car. If so, how?

good question. I doubt spraying it off could be bad... but I have heard of the car washes at gas stations CAN be harmful to the paint, but again, these are things IVE HEARD, so im uncertain if its true or not. With that being said, my Z is due for a nice hands free wash tommorow... <3
