Hi all,
Well, with the price of gas the way it is, and the fact that I still don`t own a house, which was the entire reason for purchasing my V8 4WD 14MPG-on-a-good-day truck two years ago, I`ve decided to trade it on something that gets better mileage. I`ve settled on a new Accord EX V6 6-speed. Should be lots of fun.
I haven`t been exceptionally picky with my products for the truck, just kinda picked up whatever was on sale, or a good deal. With a brand new black car, however, I`m gonna need more stuff.
The major item that I don`t have on hand that I know I`ll need is a sealant, and wanted to get some recommendations on that. Also, anything else that you think I should add to the process.
Current inventory:
SSR`s 1, 2, and 2.5
PPP
Menzerna IP
DACP
Natty`s
Meg`s paste wax, I believe it`s #26
Meg`s NXT
Trim Restorer (love this stuff)
PB`s Wheel Sealant
Other various items/tools/wash/clay/etc. Have PC and pads.
Process on the truck has essentially been wash/clay/SSR or DACP as required/NXT/Natty`s. I`ve been pretty happy with that.
Looking for maximum protection for my new paint. Durability isn`t a huge issue, but preferably something that can take a wash/QD weekly for at least a good month or more between full details. And, of course, something that looks good on black!
Product question #2:
Can anybody make any recommendations of coatings for the front end to prevent rock chips? My poor LeBaron that died a couple months ago after 11 years and 140k miles of my driving habits looked like it was hit with a sandblaster. I`ve seen the film type product, and also a sprayed on product, I believe from 3M. I want it to be totally invisible, but protective. Also, any ideas on cost?
Btw, the internet is a wonderful tool. Not only for great websites like this, but for buying a new car. Sticker is 27,950, invoice according to Edmund`s is $25,600, and my best offer so far is $23,880. B-e-a-utiful.
Thanks!
