Hi Folks,
So, we recently bought a new car for my wife. Replaced the gas guzzler with a new Acura TSX. She picked out the color - 'royal blue pearl' - which is new for '06. A lot of folks are raving about it. I have to admit to wanting black or their satin silver, but this color has really grown on me.
Anyway, I got some strange looks and a few questions when I turned down their free detail, and even more when I said 'thanks but no thanks' to their sealant. We got the car right after the shipping film had been removed, and I will say that the first detail was a pain in the neck. There were pieces of that plastic residue EVERYWHERE from that film. I ended up just walking around the car with 3M wax/adhesive remover. Their removal process left some swirls on the hood, roof, trunk, and small spots on two of the fenders. I used Menzerna IP (I know, blasphemy...sorry, it's been on the shelf all lonely) with the PC to remove these, and then hit the car with PP and NB by hand.
The results? Pics below, but I have to share that when we visited the dealership those guys were stunned. Including our salesman, I've had a few folks ask me what I used and compliment me for not letting them touch it.
Just wanted to share another PB success story.
