GREAT website here. This is my first post.
I just bought a 2004 Sienna. It’s dark blue (almost black). And my next company car will be a 2004 Grand Prix. Black. I’ll get it in about a month. (I’m in sales. My employer gives me a leased car every three years.)
I am mostly ignorant of paint care. I run the cars through the local machine wash every couple of weeks. The speaker announcement says, “approved by BMW, Mercedes ...” etc, so it can’t be bad, right? My cars are garaged all the time, and don’t get very dirty. I know dark cars are more difficult to keep nice, but when they shine they look great.
Can anyone direct me to a good thread, or to a good web page, on how to easily keep dark cars looking good? The Sienna is huge, and I am not sure if I can bring myself to hand wash it. The Grand Prix is my primary car. But it’ll be gone in 3 years. I’ve got a 9” orbital polisher that I’ve used twice in the five years I’ve owned it. I'm thinking about using it more often.
Please don’t flame me. I’d love to pour time into keeping these cars perfect. But with four small kids and a busy job, … it won’t happen. And I'm too much of a cheapskate for regular professional detailing. I’m looking for a few good pointers. And this looks like a great place to get it !!
