I am looking to get a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 soon, and I had some detailing related questions about it. The color of the one I am looking at is Polished Grey Metallic (a darker grey color), and it has black leater heated seats. This will be my first vehicle that I own that has not been a GM, so I am not familiar with Honda paints and interiors. I used be a real frequent detailier of my vehicles, but I don`t have as much free time anymore as I used to and can`t do a weely inside and out detail. I don`t trash my cars, but anymore I am lucky to wash my daily driver once a month. I still refuse to use coin ops.
`
What I am concerned about is, does Honda paint scratch and show swirls easily? Any other concerns with Honda finishes?. I originally wanted silver or white, but this car came along at a really good price.
`
What about Honda leather, is it pretty durable? I am used to GM (p)leather, and while it is OK, it was very wrinkle prone and not exactly what I`d call thick and durable. In the past on leather I have used Zaino Z9 and Z10. It worked well, but it took a while to do. I have been out of the detailing prodct loop for a while, but is there anything out there now that cleans an conditions leather in less time? Even though it`s going to be a daily driver, I still want to keep the leather from cracking and wrinkling.
`
I have never had a car with heated leather seats before, but will using it (especially on black leather) cause the leather premature wear and tear?
`
`
`
Also, is anyone on here in the Franklin or Nashville, TN area and does Cquartz or Opticoat protection. I`d like to get this done shortly after I get the car, and I don`t know of any reputable, professional, and true autpians in the area
