G35 Crystal Guarded redux
G35 Crystal Guarded redux
Last week I attempted to post a pic of my recently Crystal guarded G35C and got very poor results with the pic quality. I'll try it again here. Below is the text from the original post:
Here's a pic of my 2 1/2 week old 6MT/Diamond Graphite/Graphite G35C which I just applied Crystal Guard Quick to yesterday.
I was at the dealer (Ramsey Infiniti in New Jersey) today, having the oil changed (shortly after breakin, at 1400 miles), and it was a beautiful sunny day (finally!). I drove the car to a nearby parking area and took the shot.
My feeling is that the Crystal Guard treatment came out great. It shines like crazy! It was also pretty easy to apply, as the instructions indicate. I did use a bit more than was suggested though, more like 2/3 of a bottle rather than half. Whatever...
One interesting side effect was that the windshield wipers, which had previously been squeaking, stopped doing so afterwards, as I found while I was driving through a rainstorm later on yesterday. Even though I had decided not to put any CG on the windshield (just being cautious - I did on all the other windows), evidently either a small amount of overspray, or more likely the residual CG in the drying towels, was enough to coat the windshield a bit. The squeaking stopped as did the little greyish water mark that had previously been visible where the right wiper stopped its travel on the windshield (making a nearly vertical line in the driver's view). An unexpected benefit. Nice.
Anyway, here it is, the first posted pic of my new baby. I have other pics which I'll post if enough people are curious.
I just love this car...
