Re: Honda Paint

Just to give an update. I went with my dad and test drove the Legacy and Accord. The Legacy was definitely a sweet ride (2.5 Turbo), but I can see where it doesn't fit with my parent'0s age, and surprisingly, the material on the inside was slightly sub-par. We test drove the Accord EX-L V6, we were both taken by it, the engine was just damn fast on the pick up. The car handled pretty good for a family sedan. Compared the value between the S60 and Accord, the Accord won, and my dad ended up taking it home.

While my dad was signing the papers, I saw the car being driven away by a little kid. I asked the salesman where he was taking it, and with this big smile on his face he answered, "he's going to remove all that dirty film, wash it, and wax it up for you." I immediately stopped him and told him DON'T TOUCH THE CAR, leave it dirty, leave all the film on it. Knowing my dad wouldn't understand either that I'm a car freak and what damage they'll do to the paint, I just told him that I enjoyed removing the film and washing it for the first time, sort of like unwrapping a gift.

Anyway, hopefully the clear coat will hold up much better on the newer Honda's.
