new TL advice

[862sik]

Well i just purchased the new 07 Tl. i got the carbon metallic gray, which is like black but dark dark grey with a metallic...beutiful!



anyways as all my cars i like to keep it clean, lol i have yet to get a PC as well. but for the meantime i am thinking of sealing this paint with klassle AIO and SG. i have both products on hand and thinking of just applying it by hand.



Do you think its too early to wax? had it for a week already but i know its been sitting in the parking lot at the dealership. thankfully i told them not to hit the car with their buffer, so at the moment no swirls.



working on the PC purchase, have to settle alot of bills first =)

The most important thing is to give it a thorough claying, then AIO/SG. The only time it's too early to wax is if the car was just painted or it hasn't been prepped properly. Congratulations on the new car!

thanks, i think clay is not needed, its super smooth.



hehe i just like a shinny car and it is but i like being proud of "MY" work heheh and not the dealers.

By all means, hit it with the Klasse stuff. I think one day you'll move to something that can give it a little more umphhhhhh. But get it protected, first and foremost!

well here we go. Klassle AIO and SG. did the 2 bucket wash method, and dabbed the remaining water after the wash instead of wiping it. I applied by hand, havent done that in forever. At one moment i thought that i was wasting my time, but after i did a small section the results shown.

sorry for some of the pics being blurry, this is my ugly camera, cant find the better one.

Your car looks great! Very shiny. When I got my TL in 05, I used NXT. Now I use Zaino. I got the anthracite and here's how it looks today...

NYCE! wanna trade kits? hehe



well one day after i clean it, a huge amount of dust is on it...grrrr, i guess thats why i have the california duster.



im thinking about topping it off soon, should i use meq'syellow wax or just another step of SG?

Looks great I want it as my next car, or maybe a tsx, The cash flow says I am going to have to settle for a Accord for now. But it looks great keep trying new things you'll find what works best 4 you.

It's all up to you what you put on your car. I've used meg's yellow wax in the past, and it didn't last that long. All the beading went away after rainy summer days in Florida.



I'll trade cars if you had the Type-S!! :dance
