Hey i think i will buy that kit this weekend as i just became a first time rotary owner w/my newly used 04 rx8 i purchased just two days ago w/only 19k orig miles on a fully loaded car even with factory paddle shifters on the wheel.
Im so in love hehe.
Un fortunalty on my 400 mile trip w/it back homeon interstate 40 from tn to nc a damn 18wheeler threw up a rock that hit my hood and put a half dime size dent in it and took a sharpened pencil lead size of paint off of it , i called the local mazda dealer here and they have the sunshine silver color paint touch up bottles for $6.50 so im going there in the morn and to also have the msp16 upgrade done to the ecu, all for free since its still under warranty till aug 26th 08

 

I wash mine with a lambskin mit and 2 buckets. One for soapy water and the other a rinse bucket. Rinsing the mitt gets the heavy sand or grit off the mitt before soaping it up again and putting it on the car. I too use a leaf blower to get all the water around the front grill, side vents, wheels, you name it. Then its easy wipe up whats left with micro fiber towels. I still have to open the rear windows to get water out there. I also open the doors, trunk, and hood and wipe up water accumulated there so it doesn't blow out later. Simple green on the wheels get them clean. I clay bar, polish, and wax once a yr and keep it covered in the car port when not it use.

 

anyone in southern california???...some of you guys should sign up at the meguiars forum and sign up for the free classes they have...

 

I use distilled water to rinse my BB. that is the best tip I can give any BB owner.

 

Kinda like the de-ionized water output of the Mr. Clean rinse setting.

 

dozer what are the classes?

 

Kinda, but the Mr. Clean in my experience is not nearly as good as using distilled water. I do own a Mr. Clean.

 

Distilled water is of course best, as it contains zero soluable minerals and therefore almost zero potential for water spotting. But for we mere mortals, the Mr. Clean de-ionized rinse does an excellent job.

 

I've gotta try the Mr Clean Auto Dry or SOMETHING. I'm starting to see swirl marks/scratches in my paint. Probably from my "microfiber" drying mits.
