So does mine, but mine is the wagon version, so the sheetmetal portion on the top is still pretty long, cept it doesn't pop in and out like the Fit.

 

Once....

Forecasts for next 5 days, RAIN!!!! Bummer!

 

I have wshed it once. I have had the car since 4-21.

 

Loving the 1/2 answer...

 

Bought mine on april 13 and washed it at least 6 times. And when it rained yesterday and hailed *gah* I waited til it cleared and washed it again.

 

Ah, but how many times have you wiped down or vacuumed the INTERIOR of your car, since buying it? This black interior is driving me nuts! While the dimpled pattern on the dash is nice for diffusing reflected light (and dilutes the "plastic is everywhere" look a little), it holds onto every spec of dust like a magnet!

 

My Dustbuster has been working overtime since I bought my Fit!

 

Had my Fit since April 1st, washed it 4 times. We keepo geting rain that lasts a week.

 

picked up the car on 4/24. Haven't washed it once. But then again it's been with Eibach for a nearly a week!

 

I washed on Saturday since I'd be meeting some friends on Sunday and wanted to show off the new car. When the rain passes today or tomorrow, I plan on washing it again.

 

All I can say about the dust is micro fiber towels, use them everywhere.

 

Once by hand and I took it through a carwash once as well. To be honest, it might not get washed all that much. I hate black cars but wanted to get it quickly so I can start saving on gas.

I washed my Element the other day and realized that it was only the second time I washed it in 3 years. Luckily I have a dealer that does a halfway decent wash job every time it is in for an oil change. That being said, if I really cared about the car, I'd never let the dealer wash it.

I was a bit more **** (hahahah, they block out the word Ay-nill, hilarious.) with my S2000 and even my del Sol was treated better. I just can't get excited about washing my daily driver.

So far I have a mere 1800 miles on it in about 3 weeks. The month before that, I drove 4000 miles, so I am way off my normal mileage. Things will be picking up again in the next week...I'll probably have 3000 on it this time next week. Maybe then it will get a wash.

 

I work at a dealer so I have had it professionally detailed every day for three weeks. They have even taken to returning my car to me at the end of the day with new accessories installed (thats happened 5 times now) and are now roping it it off in the show room because I have the only regularly accessible fit for people to look at but not touch. BTW the Honda Factory Performance exhaust system looks and sounds awesome I recommend it to anyone waiting for performance parts to get released stateside.

 

Oh man, you have it made! I was at the dealership today to pick up my cargo tray, and a couple came in looking for a Fit. The dealership didn't have any on the lot (they sold them all!!), so I volunteered my Fit for them to look at (but not to touch, sit in, or drive, muahah). I helped the salesman by giving "true owner's testimony". We did the whole Magic Seat demo and everything.

They love me at my dealership, hahah.

 

As for the black interior, I haven't bought a FIT yet but my old '04 WRX had an all-black interior, complete dust magnet.

I kept "Swiffer" wipes in my glovebox and swiffered the dash/trim once a day, kept the car looking positively spotless inside.

 

My dealer loves me too! I've stopped in twice just to tell them how much I love my car and they washed it both times. I told them I'd be happy to talk up the Fit and the dealership to anybody who will listen.

 

I was happy to find out the interior is more gray than black (at least the seats). Shows less dirt than black. And the dimpled texture of the dash should help to show less dust.

 

microfiber is the best. from washing to removing wax cant beat it!

 

A friend with a vintage Jaguar swears by Meguires wax. Works great on old paint, too.

Haven't seen any touch-up paint for Fits advertised. The Honda dealers carried it for my Accord. The Fit body is so low to the ground. I've already discovered a couple of small knicks -- probably from road debris -- on the bumper. I have a Storm Silver so I can probably find something close.

 

FondaFit - I like the Zaino system makes my BOM even w/ all the orange peel look/feel good. At the end of the day all that matters is you are happy and proud of the results...
