I decided to clean my Fit today. Sun was out periodically, but it was a bit overcast at times and about 60 degrees today. We're suppose to get some colder weather here soon. I used Mother's carnauba car wash. I just used a little bit and it went a long way. Good stuff.

Anyway, I took a few pictures. I tried to get the Orangeburst Metallic in different lighting. Great excuse to post pictures of the Fit!

 

Very nice!

 

You missed a spot though - right above the door handle. You better run outside, wipe it off and take new pics!!

 

Haha

 

Looking good! Sure love that front end without a license plate messing it up.

 

Thanks! That was first thing that came off. Second was dealer sticker on hatch.

 

Good stuff, I actually washed my car today too. Around the same time too! Maybe it's in our blood...

 

Cool! Let's see a pic!

 

Wow, your car looks good!

 

Very nice!

 

I was glad the dealership i bought from doesn't put on those ugly dealer decals. How did you get yours off?

 

I would but i havent waxed it yet lol

 

I waxed mine today in the garage. I need to take a couple of more pics before sun goes down.

 

After waxing, a few more gratuitous pics. The OBM color changes in darker lighting.

 

Ahh, much better!

2 weeks after my wax job I'm still buffing out spots I missed and trying to get caked up wax out of the harder to get to places. I'll be much more stingy on applying the wax next time.

The light changing the color sure is a cool attribute of the OBM.

 

Looks great!

 

Luckily it was only one of those soft plastic type badges. I peeled it right off and just applied a little wax to remove the small amount of residue that was left.

Thank you!

 

These all look fantastic, but if you OBM guys, myself included, want to see something sick, check out the finish on this 2012 OBM Fit at San Tan Honda in AZ: 2012 Honda Fit Review - SanTan Honda Superstore of Chandler - YouTube

I actually emailed them and asked how they did it - said they used some kind of banana oil/carnuba wax, but didn't give the brand name. I'm sure the AZ sun had something to do with it as well.

 

I've seen that video. Looks great!

I should have taken a few pics in the bright sun because, I think it looks very similar.

 

I've seen that video a few times too! I agree it looks great and really stands out. They not only made the car look great the salesman did a nice job of explaining the features. The OBM and the rims just sparkle when he's driving through the lot.
