View Full Version : How I keep my car so clean
onefatsurfer 04-03-2008, 09:46 PM This is only 1 load, I have another one in the wash now, and a few more in my car that are clean. I'll count them all tomorrow probably...
This and zaino = one happy RX-8

snipaz2420 04-03-2008, 09:52 PM damn dude! i use 4 towels max but i also havent gotten the time to zaino
rglbegl 04-03-2008, 10:09 PM Get a chamois
HockeyRX-8 04-03-2008, 11:11 PM Holy #$@# thats alot of towels. I've never used zaino so I dont know how many towels you would need. But still...thats alot.
the stig 04-03-2008, 11:16 PM i dont use THAT much towels, but good enough. one to wash, one to dry, one apply wax, one or to buff wax. and one for the wheel. so 5 or 6 towels.
fahrfegneugen 04-03-2008, 11:18 PM ^ I believe it, those are small towels too.

I won't even show you my microfiber towel collection. It scares even ME.
anet1737 04-04-2008, 01:12 AM I believe it...we have a huge box in the garage full of towels just for the 8 :lol:

onefatsurfer 04-04-2008, 07:52 AM lame!!

Here's a few pics I took awhile ago when I first got Z-8. My cleaning system uses a lot of towels: I clean one panel every time I start the car, that way they stay squeaky clean all the time.. Unless it's raining like today....:banghead:

Mazurfer 04-04-2008, 07:56 AM Ha ha......not a bad collection. Sad thing is.....I can identify at least three of the types of towels you have there. That's a little more than I use, but pretty damn close. Hey, first pic above...............is your trunk misaligned or is it just me? Car looks very clean and shiney!
SideOfBacon 04-04-2008, 08:47 AM ^ nope, thats the way it is.
xsnipersgox 04-04-2008, 09:52 AM i have my shell microfiber cloth collectio from how often we gassed up -.-
DaBatMan 04-04-2008, 10:02 AM :lol: ^^^believer.
i've got a micro fiber collection that would put mere mortals to shame. just one of the draw backs of owning a Brilliant Black 8 but she shines like no other when she's clean.
dozer 04-04-2008, 10:20 AM nice!! i have like 10x more microfibers than you...i get to lazy to wash so i go out and buy new ones all the time
dozer 04-04-2008, 10:22 AM the street you live one REMINDS me of that one episode on MTV " true life: im a jersey shore girl" or somethin like that....
dozer 04-04-2008, 10:22 AM LMFAO you do live on the "jersey shore"
onefatsurfer 04-04-2008, 01:31 PM Yep.. I live 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, actually. I have at least 2x as many microfibers as in the picture, and I use so many as a rotation, that way I don't have "down time" while I'm washing them..
Mazurfer 04-04-2008, 02:10 PM I know that drill, I'm 1/2 block from the ocean and we have a lot more salt down here! :)
photo chick 04-04-2008, 03:16 PM wow. you guys would love this gas station i went to a couple weeks back. if you filled up your tank with them, they'd give you a free micro fiber towel!
and i just noticed the 'swimming with the dolphin' pictures you have in your first post. i have those too!!:)
paulmasoner 04-04-2008, 03:32 PM i have my shell microfiber cloth collectio from how often we gassed up -.-
OMG i wont use those(from Shell) for anything but dressing the interior... dont dare put those on the paint, they suck IMHO
onefatsurfer 04-04-2008, 05:00 PM The one I have from shell (red one) is ok, but I use it for my Back to Black.
photo chick 04-04-2008, 05:18 PM ha..i'm a tard. i should've read the other posts. ya, it was shell that i filled up at. but i'd never seen any other shell offer free towels, just that one that was out in the boonies.
dozer 04-04-2008, 05:28 PM Lol!!!!^
