Rained on my ZR - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

XfireZ51 · 08-10-2013

Saw the overhead shot of Jim's car in Orlando, and I remembered I took a coup,e of shots of my BR ZR after it had rained in SW Michigan. Had waxed the car the day before and thought this looked pretty neat. I think the pattern on the roof is interesting.

Frank,

Remember Classic Car Wax. People are "rediscovering" carnuba wax and working it into the paint.

Yeah, and ppl are re-discovering how sun on a dark car softens the damn stuff and dust sticks to it like flypaper... Living on a dirt road with a black car...I can tell you ALL about carnuba...with SO many different names on the bottle. (I've still got some, if you want it.)

Nothing like a dusty mile of crushed limestone "gravel" road to super accelerate the aging process on car waxes. No thanks. I'll stick with polymers.

These were taken 4 and 5 seasons removed from the one and only claybar/all afternoon polish regime to initially apply the stuff. After that, wash, blow dry, and spritz on a glaze.

Now, before calling me a WAXER, mind ya I do like a nice shine. The difference is, I DON'T like high maintenance shine, and every friggin carnuba I tried is (compared to polymer) HIGH maintenance!

Just sayin!

Paul,

Car already had clay bar and Zaino on it. This was a soft or liquid carnauba I put on. Roads are paved here in NW Chicagoland.
