Cleaned up my car a bit, took a few pics...

[shenanigans]

Spent some time detailing the old car this weekend when I was at my parents house in south florida... don't have any "good pics" Just a few, I'll see if I can get some tomorrow.

First time I claybared and zainoed since last feb... doors and sides were perfect, but my roof and hood were rough. The hood was rough mainly from some hard water spots from sprinklers, the roof was rough because well, I cut the roof off my car and sprayed the underneath part and hadn't "thoroughly" cleaned it up yet.

Between claying and some Z5, I really filled in alot of the scratches I had on my passenger door from a roof shingle hitting my car from one of the 3 hurricanes.

either way... here ya go.

I took the first pics after a wash and first coat of Z5, you cna tell the Z6 adds a bit more wet appeal, and after 2 coats of Z5, and 2 spray downs with Z6 and a coat of Z2, the car has more of a wet look and MUCH slicker feel.

Regardless if you use zaino, hate zaino or whatever, I really reccomend it on rims for sure, never had anything keep a set of rims looking good and clean.

Nope only leaked once. Day after we "finished" it was dec 23rd, everything was done but I didn't seal the t-tops, had family stuff and work, then on xmas day it rained for like 6-7 hours, they leaked then. I sealed them up, no leaks since, been through several all day rain storms and several hose tests and "car wash" tests. no leaks.

If your t-tops leak even on a factory setup its so simple and cheap to fix you will smack yourself for not doing it [img]smile.gif[/img]

and like I say I don't spend too much work cleaning my car, just went to my parents place for 2 days to help fix up a few small things around the house, give my dad some W2s, and check out my brother's truck.

off hand, did you expect this thread to be about anything besides me... "cleaning up my car and taking some pics"?

If not and you don't care then why did you click on it?
