Well, yesterday I went outside around noon and started cleaning up the G. She was in desperate need of a bath with all the rain we've been getting, and even more desperate need of a good coat of wax and a clay bar.

Things I did:
Washed twice with Meguiar's Hyper Wash
Mother's Back to Black'ed the lower trim and mirror bases
Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish'ed my exhaust/tips
Meguiar's Wheel Brightener'ed the wheels and fenderwells. Super concentrated mixture (1:1 instead of 4:1) (Careful, this stuff burns like hell in your eyes and any open wounds)
Meguiar's Fine-grade Clay Barred using Meguiars Final Inspection as the lubricant. This includes the windows, all chrome trim and the b-pillars. You'd be amazed at the crap that will come off the chrome when you clay it.
Meguiars Gold-Class wax in 2 VERY light coats. Applied with a Meguiar's square microfiber applicator.
Buffed by hand using standard grade microfiber cloths. Bought from Meguair's rep (37.50 for 25 cloths).
Went back and polished the chrome with a microfiber cloth and Meguiars Glass Cleaner.

Pics are uploading as I type this, they're HUGE. Taken with a 10mp Canon DSLR and an EFS 18-55 lens. I believe the camera body is a Rebel XTi 350d. (DS126151?)

 

Sounds like the results should be fantastic. Can't wait to see pics!

 

I would be careful using such harsh chemicals on your wheels. The finish on the wheels can be damaged from chemicals that can be too abrassive. I have found out back in the day the hard way. The way I will always treat my wheels will be the same way as I treat the paint on the car. Use a simple car wash soap and water mix, that's all. Also, some wax will also be good to protect the finish

Otherwise... looks like it's real clean! Put up pics!!!!

yep! lets see the pics

 

The moment you've all been waiting for...*drumroll*









































Voila! Thanks for looking guys! The next set of pictures will be up in a couple weeks or less, with the 350z springs/shocks installed!

 

Holy ****, thats hella clean Lookin good Lucky

 

...and a couple of my buddies S2k:

 

Thanks papa, that means a whole lot coming from you, as I think yours is the cleanest modded sedan on the boards. Whats your real name btw? Mine's Brandon, most people just call me Lucky though...

 

Looks great!

When we left for Florida it was raining and I had no time to wipe down the G. I left it dirty

Sick S2K btw!

 

I bet you're icing your arms now.

 

Mm glad to see you are carin for teh G.

Nice car man! Looks awesome! You gotta debadge though

 

Thanks Brandon.

The name is Chris ..most people call me Chris

 

 

That would be correct haha. My arms don't hurt as much as my calves, thighs, and shoulders though.

OUCH! That sucks dude! Meh, shoulda just thrown some soap on it...with as much rain as we've gotten in the past few days, it'd be clean now haha

Thanks! As much as I'd love to debadge it, I think it'd look funny with just Mt Fuji and the "I N F I N I T I" lettering below it on the doggy door. If I do anything, It'll be Nissan badges with "S K Y L I N E" below, and a 350gt below the tail light.
