This is the first time either of these cars(the 7 and z, the BMW and 240 weren't touched but the Bimmer was waxed somewhat recently) have been claybared. The 240 and BMW belong to friends that helped out with the claybaring. The 7 and Z got their first claybars, and the 7 it's first wax job. The cars both look MUCH better than they did before. the z looked brand new, and even though it still ooks old and has tons of flaws, the 7 being reflective at all is a huge improvement(26 year old paint). The pics suck a bit because I used my shittiest lens that has the Af motor going out on me and a cheap polarizing filter that I didn't bother properly adjusting between shots because the lens rotates when focusing.

Although I def support the cause, its great, but sexypants is played out.

And is that Z a true TT?

WTF?

Clay first, then use a cleaner, then polish, then wax. Nice pics, thanks for sharing

The Z is N/A, but it never claims to be TT. It doesn't have the TT front bumper with slits, the TT wing, the "Twin Turbo" sticker.. It does have all JDM badging though. "Nissan Fairlady Z" on the back decklid and "Z" on the front nose panel instead of "Nissan"

We did a hand wash, hand dry, claybar, microfiber towel buff, then turtle wax in the paste tub, let dry, wipe off, and then the result is what you see. I should mention the Rx-7 only had a mirror like reflection ability on the front fenders before I started. Now the whole car shines again.

That was certainly remarkable how well the 7 and the z looked after they got the clay and wax. Fun day.

Saw you off Suwanee Dam / Lawrenceville-Suwanee Rd a quite a few weeks ago in my S-10. Clay bar came out really nice.
