Kuro Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 1. When waxing the car, there ALWAYS seems to be a little stream of water coming from the petrol cap, which messes up yer wax 2. My '350Z' logo on the back seems to think it's funny to rip small chunks from my Megiuars wash mitt every single time Aside from that, it's *all* good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 for point 1, open up the cap and dry fully, also take the car for a little spin before you dry and wax, that way any excess water will be got rid of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 3. After washing, you open the boot and water pours out. 4. After washing, you fold in the mirrors and slam the door...hey more water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 5. You spend a few hours washing/waxing your car, you go out in the evening with your your headlights on, you go to wash your windscreen and your bonnet gets a good soaking too thanks to the headlight washers… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The left hand corner of my nismo spoiler seems to have a steady stream of water dribbling over the boot after washing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Dry it properly then! ha ha! As sl114 said, take it for a spin before drying it. I don't to be honest but I open up everything to clean the shuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Chaps, Think you are missing the point, do not wax or wash the car and just drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 You forgot about the steam of water from the rear washer pivot. I also like the fact that after it has been raining water pours on to your shoes when you open the doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 oops - stReam not steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 If we're bringing rain into this then I have to mention it streaming in from the pilar when you open the window just a little. Or even worse, in the dry if you spray the windows the wipers lift the water up to the top of the pilar on the drivers side where it then drips in through the open window.

Ah yes, but then you will get all sorts of contaminents on the paintwork and grind them in as you apply the wax K the amateur detailer (and paranoid mofo ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I always mist the car with some quick detailer before drying - it helps disperse the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
