Default got a questioin....

the z6(?) gloss enhancer...i've been reading that peeps use this BETWEEN washes...so basically regardless of the dirt and grime on the car u just spray it on and then wipe off with towel? i'm thinking that would make swirl marks if anything else. Or do u give it a rinse, dry and then just use the z6? Thanks, '

I use a California Duster to get the majority of dust off the car, then use Z6 and a microfibre towel to finish up. I only do this if the car is dusty, if it is anything other than dust...I wash the car. I have no swirls on the car.

agree with matrix... dust first. i would not spray anything on a dusty car and wipe off without first removing the dust. that would be asking for swirls and small scratches (dust can contain abrasives).

Yes, I usually only wash/dry/Z6. I use a leaf blower to dry the car, but because it is black, I usually have to Z6 right after to get a really clean look. I have only used Z2 or Z5 about 4 times on the car not after every wash.

Here are a couple of pics, just washed, leaf blower dried and z6ed...




Hope this helps!
