How often do you wash your zed?

Who has time to wash the car?

If I have the free time, then I am ususlly out driving it! :P :driving:

It has been at least 3 months since I have washed her :oops: , but I do dust her off regularly :)

CARWASH!!!!!!! :evil: Apparently you forgot the person we hung by his thumbs at Z4um :telloff: You really need to get back on your medication,
oh sin of sins :guns:
 
I just washed mine last week and that was the second time since December '06.......I know, I know, I've been scolded about this on other forums but I persist in using gallons of detail spray and the car looks fabulous. OK, maybe the paint will fall off in three years but by then I'll be drivin' a new Z4 or maybe 135i and it'll be someone else's trouble. Go on call me a sociopath........
 
Damn... that's as bad as spraying Febreeze all over yourself every few days so that you don't have to take a bath/shower for a year. :thumbsdown:

You're lucky your dog still loves you... :lol:

DUDE

You can just pay other people to wash it for you at least! Like 15 bucks!


And next you're going to say you have a Black Car too?

:lol: Hey Rick, I hadn't considered the Febreeze thing before......hmmmmm.

Actually that reminds me of a very eccentric chap I worked with once who was a cigar nut; every afternoon he'd smoke one out on the loading dock and then.....yep, he'd spray himself with Febreeze. :rofl:
 
Gauss,

To tell ya the truth I can't tell what color it is anymore. It might be worth 15 bucks to have it washed so I can see if there is any paint left......or I could just check the color listed on the original invoice. :driving:
 
It might be cool to not have any paint left on the Zed... it would look like the concept Zed they displayed in Frankfurt in '05... Terminator-metal colour. 8)
 
That's me, just a trendsetter. Pretty soon not even 20Ducks will wash his car.

The bare metal look will be in although I'd personally prefer a light bead blast.....kind of like a stainless Kimber 1911.
 
You may want to reconsider the bare metal look.

I just spent the day today at the Portland Historic Car Races and saw a couple of 50's and 60's period race cars that were bare metal aluminum with a polish job. At least one of the pits had someone using some metal polish to spruce up the finish on a late 50's lotus and it looked to me like a LOT more work than what I have to do to keep my painted surfaces looking nice.

Nice taste in hardware.

I wouldn't want to do the bare metal anywhere near the ocean. it was always a chore keeping the aluminum oxidization free on my motorcycles.
 
As an art piece I like the idea of a fully rusted Z4 mounted at a 30 degree angle on a granite pedestal in a Bavarian beer garden..........well, maybe not. :wink:
