Hi dude

My wife is big on Enjo, so that's all that I know. The purple (car washing) glove needs to be wet, so that's out. The orange (dusting) glove is pretty good if you static it up on the TV or something, but the car will need to be clean beforehand, otherwise you'll just end up scratching it.

Hope it helps

HRmm, that car wash glove was what i was thinkin of as well, but i guess just so long as the glove is wet, does that mean the rest of the car needs to be wet??? or can you use a wet glove on a dry car?

Please, please, please don't ever wipe your car with a dry cloth/mitt whatever - no matter who makes it, or what it's made of (including super duper micro fibres), it will scratch your paint as the dirt particles get dragged across it.

The basic rule is - if the car is visibly dirty wash it, otherwise if it's just got a light coating of dust a dry wash is ok but at least use a lubricant spray like Meguires Quik Detail, Final Inspection etc.

Meguires had a special pack out around xmas that had a bottle of Quik Detail and a microfibre cloth for < $20, which was very good value. I think Autopro had them, not sure who else.

ok, so im gettting the impression not to use a dry wash mitt. I just thought of this as an option because ive just had a custom paintjob on my car in "satin black" (looks like marble) and i thought that using a dry mitt could keep it lookin smint insteat of havin to wash it all the time. Cheers guys.

Sounds like an interesting paint job....got any pics?

Bit surprised whoever supplied the custom paint/job didn't tell you exactly how to take care of it (and flog you some products in the process).

BTW - I only wash my car about once a month, and give it a going over with Quik Detail and a mitt once a week. Takes about 10 - 15 minutes including rims.

Yeah my mum sells enjo also. Dont use the bloody thing dry on it. You should hose down the car first, and use the glove wet, the dirtier the car the more you rinse it out in your bucket of plain water. BTW if your being fussy rinse the car after as well, if your just giving it a quick going over there is no need other than to just dry it off.

But as said, if the thing is dirty wash it. I dont think there is a simple way.

No dont do it ! Dont EVER use any cloth to wipe dirt or dust from your car. All your doing is turning the cloth into sand paper . No matter what material its made of it will sooner or later reach a saturation point were its ability to absorb dirt stops and becomes a ABRASIVE cloth. No disrespect to your mum, dangerous_daveo, but I had a run in with an enjo sales person who offered to wash my car with an enjo cloth and a jug of water. We had quite a run in after they tried to ram (figuratively speaking) this product down my throat. I wouldnt have it and they got very upset and asked what would I know about the micro fiber technology involved. I told her a little, as I am an industrial chemist by trade and if she would proceed to wash her brand new Mazda 6 euro I migth consider it. Need less to say it didnt happed and I was outter there ! I sure enjo make a great product but not for me I affraid !

what about those chamois?? wouldnt they reach a point as well where they cannot absorb anymore?? but i guess u are contiously washin the cloth out so it doesnt realli build up.

i currently use a meguires lambs mitt??? anything better then this on the market??

There are different 'groups' so to speek, my mum does it as a hobby kinda thing, some others are there just for the hard sell.

Deadset tho no way in the world would I use just a jug of water to wash the car, maybe one pannel if you say hit a pigion (which I just did, stupid birds) other than that, you do need to hose it down properly, wash off all the loose stuff. Its the same as a normal wash just no soap.

What's next...what conditioner you use in your hair? what colour handbag should you match with your marble paintjob?

Easy solution.......grab a 19 year old Californian virgin, soap her up and slide her over your car. By the time she reaches the other end you'll have forgotten about the three specs of dust on your car.

That's the man's wash

lol. wats wrong with wantin my car to look in tip top condition? i worked like a dog over the summer holidays to afford my respray. i take pride in my car and i want it to show. if i didnt then i would prolli buy some sh1tbox rotary as my daily driver.

Now now, no need to get nasty about the rotaries. :)

I understand what you are saying. You want you ride to looks it's best at all times. I envy your paint job, I wish I could have one like it.

In reality the paint job and the virgin will probably never happen for me.

If you want your paint to last it's absolute longest in pristine condition....get it minged.

You can wipe it with sandpaper if you like and the scratches come right out.

Even stones don't chip it.

Only prob is that you have to wash it with ming detergent and the initial process costs around $400.

it is a special coating which is put over the paint. It can be done any time during the life of the car. Awesome stuff. Dust just wipes off it without leaving marks and you don't need to polish it except one every 6 months or so.

My old man get's all his 4WD's done. He takes them all around Oz. When he goes to sell them after 8 years or so, they still have a paint job that is almost like new.

Even the branch scratches and marks come straight out without harming the existing paint job.

It is called MING. You should be able to Google it in Australia.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
