2004 Infiniti G35. I wash/wax this one about every 2-3 months. He brings it to me because there really isn't anywhere to work on it in downtown Dallas were he lives. He had me wash it and polish the hood and trunk last weekend because he noticed some light marring on both when washing it himself. I used Poli-seal with a white LC polishing pad to clean those two areas up. Anyway, we got light ice and snow on Thursday and in the Dallas area, they put down this chemical mixed with sand on the bridges and overpasses that leaves a sticky film on the cars, feels similar to sap when washing. The owner normally washes his own car between wax jobs but decided he wanted to me to wash it to get all that slime off of it.
Starting point, good test for the power of Optimum No Rinse Wash and the single bucket method. I used a microfiber covered foam pad (not sure of the brand, got it from my Optimum distributor) to wash and a
Meguiars Supreme Terry and Excel Detail yellow MF to dry.
Half washed (wheels and fenderwells done first and dressed so any dressing overspray gets washed off) in this shot:

The car was last fully polished and waxed (RMG/106FF and #16) in mid September and he planned on having it rewaxed in January but since his schedule will have him travel all that month, he told me to go ahead and wax it after washing it. I used my 80/20
Meguiars #16/FK's Pink Wax blend.
