Replying to: dafinman (Apr 15, 2007 7:22 pm) LOL Well, guess what... I was washing and claying MY car this weekend and found the same thing.   I have no scuff marks on the film itself and I know the film is safe to clay, but the edges... watch out for the edges. Claying against an edge causes the clay to get caught, and it's an absolute ***** to get out.   Looks like we've both learned from experience.   I'll say this though... Dawned, washed, clayed, washed, Z-5'd, Z-6'd,and then Z-2'd twice.... HOLY CRAP, what a shine!   I "dawn"ed and waxed my wheels too. The stuff the dealer used on the wheels was capturing brake dust badly. A quick coat of wax on the wheels has resolved that issue as well. Replies to this message: dafinman (Apr 16, 2007 10:19 am)

Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 16, 2007 6:09 am) Yeah I'm up to the z-5 step but will not be receiving the Z-2 and ZFX till today. I plan on putting down a z-2 and coating with the z-CS I'll let you know how that goes. Probably will wait til Wednesday because it is suppose to rain here tomorrow.

Replying to: toddr3 (Apr 15, 2007 6:00 pm) Sweet! Just make sure to break it in. It may kill me but I will follow the break in rules very strictly to make sure this car lasts as long as possible. BTW, I just got news of when my car is actually going to show up. I'm looking at May 11th, give or take a little. I wonder if I'm going to celebrate this anniversary in a year?

Replying to: jagguar (Apr 17, 2007 12:05 pm) amazing car. You will love it. My last 2 cars were a 2000 BMW 328i and a 2001 BMW 740i. The G35 is just as good if not better so far in most areas.

Replying to: jagguar (Apr 17, 2007 12:05 pm) "Just make sure to break it in."   Ya know, when I buy my daughter a new toy, it usually does a little something while checking it out in the store, and when you get it home and out of the packaging, there's a little plastic tab that you need to pull out, and then the toy has full capabilities. For example, the toy may play one line of a song, but when the tab is pulled, the whole song plays.   I wish my G had this little plastic tab, which is not to be pulled out of it's little slot until proper 1200 mile break-in is complete. This car WANTS to be driven, and keeping it below 4K ALL the time is a feat that even Mother Teresa herself could not accomplish.

Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 18, 2007 4:29 am) Yeah...that first break-in period is tough...but trust me, it will go by pretty quick. Besides...it's ok to occasionally "slip" on the gas and go above 4k Just keep it withing the limits most of the time. But after the break in....have fun. I have to really watch myself sometimes on the empty freeways...before I know it I'm around 120 and it's just coasting Replies to this message: toddr3 (Apr 18, 2007 5:22 pm) zekeman1 (Apr 18, 2007 5:47 pm) smokey75 (Apr 18, 2007 5:49 pm)

Replying to: sprinkler13 (Apr 18, 2007 10:53 am) Is there a break in period? My dealer is telling me that they run the engines for a few thousand miles before putting them in the cars so there is no break in period. True? My gas milage is awful.. 11 mpg in the city and only 20mpg on the highway with icc on at 80. Does it get better?

Replying to: toddr3 (Apr 18, 2007 5:22 pm) Depends on your driving habits...I haven't gotten better than 19 so far...didn't you read the reviews?? It is notorious for lousy gas mileage. Jack rabbit starts don't help and I've found that frequently it's difficult not to wind it up, even in city traffic.

Replying to: toddr3 (Apr 18, 2007 5:22 pm) Your dealer should try reading the manual. I really hate it when salespeople, who should be the expert on the vehicle, know less about their product than the consumer.
#65 of 111 Paint Sealer or Wax before Clear Bra by bs55 Apr 18, 2007 (7:55 pm)
Getting a clear bra on my new g35 soon. Didnt get any added protection from the dealer. Should i go to a detail shop to get a paint sealer or wax done on it before the clear bra is installed.   Or is the clear coat that came with the car enough?   Or should i get the sealant and wax be done after the clear bra so that there is wax on the clear bra?   Thanks Replies to this message: scottm123 (Apr 19, 2007 4:48 am)
