what should i use to wet the glass to begin claying? should i just wet the glass with water, or use glass cleaner?

You could probably just use a QD like normal. You will want to wash your windshield again after you clay anyway so it won't really matter what you use. QD would lube better than water though, I think.

gotcha.. thanks. Hope the clay removes the spots, if not, ill have to use the procedure recommended by blkZ28Conv regarding the WD40, vinegar/alcohol mixture and following with barkeepers friend..



thanks guys.. slowly but surely getting the gist of the detailers.. all i used to do was wash the car, dry it, and slap on some polish.. i repeated this process EVERY week.. didnt think there was much to it.. i now know better.

I asked a similar question here a couple of months ago, and several helpful members suggested I clay also. I had a problem with the wiper blades hopping and making squeaking noises and also leaving black residue on the glass.



I scrubbed the blades as suggested, and then used some protectant on them, and clayed the glass. Now I also use EO 20/20. The windshield beads like there is Rain-X on it, and when I have to use the wipers (which is quite often here in Vancouver), they are smooth, quiet, and streak free.

Last September, Jaguar showed off its C-X75 concept at the Paris Auto Show. The car was a conceptual vision of what a future range-topping Jaguar supercar would look like. The 75 moniker was meant to celebrate Jaguar?s 75-year anniversary. The C-X75 has a flowing design, with a few cues shared with the XJ220. We loved it, clearly took it as a one-off concept.

The real kicker was the car?s powertrain; a plug-in hybrid combination, but one that utilizes turbines instead of gas engines. Two 96 horsepower turbines powered the electric motors, which were placed at each wheel. Each electric unit made 195-horsepower and a stunning 1,187 pound feet of torque. That was good for a 0-62 mph run of 3.4 seconds.

Now, as part of Jaguar?s ambitious plans to expand the lineup and move upmarket, the company has greenlighted the C-X75 Concept for production.

Very slick looking car. Neat to see Jag trying something different with the power plants.

Yay! Finally some GOOD spam!:w00t:

Holy crap! 1100 lb torque is crazy. That kind of power would have you sitting in the back seat in secs. Love the look too. Kinda different.

That looks hot I like

 

[Todd@RUPES]

lol at the spam comments. Great looking car.

The crazy thing. Two motors

So, let me get this straight, Jag, a car notorious for having HORRIBLE electrical issues is producing a car moved electric motors at each wheel?? That seems like a recipe for disaster!

Very cool looking though, but I have a feeling the people who will be driving them the most will be the service guys at your friendly Jag dealer.
