i never used to wax cars,
but i knew when i picked a NHBP fit, that'd i'd keep it clean

anyhoo, picked up some turtle wax wash & dry and some microfiber cloths at walmart today

did the regular car wash, then dried the entire car with a microfiber cloth while also spraying on the turtle wax

seems like pretty good stuff

i also saw "Eagle1" and "Armorall" make the same type of product, but the turtlewax was the cheapest (and most bang for buck, $/mL in the bottle)

any1 else have experiences with those other two? which ones are better?
also in comparison to stuff like claybar? zaino? traditional wax? (all haven't tried before)

this was my first time dealing with 'wax' and it was actually pretty easy, just spray + spray + circular motions

check out the pics i took right after:














wups, guess i missed some water droplets...

interesting to see the water cohesion forces in action in these 'dimple holes' at the front of the windshield


black car + wax = awesomness



oh btw, could someone recomend good cheap floor mats? saw some at wal-mart, didnt know how well they'd fit.... stupid dealer not throwing them in for free

 

Those wheels are tight.

 

I agree. A nicely waxed black car is the best! Looks good!

 

You're car is beautiful! I didn't think I would like the black, but yours really looks sharp.

 

looks real smooth, and give me your wheels, lol.

 

Those wheels are awesome!!!
Will have to do that after the sale!

 

Not a Fit but I'm a fan of autopia... This is my 2004 Vic,
not mine anymore, just after MrClean wash and Zimol wax...
Hope you like it. Good job on your Fit, 'cause black is realy
not easy to work on... I will get my blue Fit in 2 weeks and
you almost make me change my mind for a black one

i think i see mr. clean's head lol

thats a nice blue civ man, wow wax does wonders

 

Tried many from walmart. Noe worked, usually too large. Went to target and found perfect rubber ones though at $10 I think was the price. Make sure they are small enough though.

 

Nice ride and the HFP wheels make all the difference;now all you need a 1"drop and it would be the schnizzle

 

Looks great, hope it doesn't rain soon!

 

goog job man

 

Hmmm, it almost makes me wish I'd gotten black. ...almost.

It looks really sexy and great though, good job!

 

Agreed, that is one sexy Fit. I love the black.

 

Did you lowered your Civic?
What brand spring/coilover did you use?
How many inch did you drop?

 

The Vic was dropped on Neuspeed sport springs 1,75 F and 1,5 R.
15" Rota C8 wheels w/ 195 60 tires... confortable and sporty...

Very "clean" (please excuse the pun) literally and without the aero stuff - what model is this? Looks like a base, but has fog lights - were they added or did it come this way?

 

Nice car. I like the sports grille.

 

Great job!! But i think it can shine more wit S12 products...and i thought you shouldn't wax your new car until 2-3 months later when all paint fully cure...

 

Niceeeeeeee.
We Will Bump Into Each Other One Day.
