The Fit is shiny!

The Fit is shiny!
I decided to clean my Fit today. Sun was out periodically, but it was a bit overcast at times and about 60 degrees today. We're suppose to get some colder weather here soon. I used Mother's carnauba car wash. I just used a little bit and it went a long way. Good stuff.
Anyway, I took a few pictures. I tried to get the Orangeburst Metallic in different lighting. Great excuse to post pictures of the Fit!![Big Grin](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I was glad the dealership i bought from doesn't put on those ugly dealer decals. How did you get yours off?

2 weeks after my wax job I'm still buffing out spots I missed and trying to get caked up wax out of the harder to get to places. I'll be much more stingy on applying the wax next time.
The light changing the color sure is a cool attribute of the OBM.

Thank you!

These all look fantastic, but if you OBM guys, myself included, want to see something sick, check out the finish on this 2012 OBM Fit at San Tan Honda in AZ: 2012 Honda Fit Review - SanTan Honda Superstore of Chandler - YouTube
I actually emailed them and asked how they did it - said they used some kind of banana oil/carnuba wax, but didn't give the brand name. I'm sure the AZ sun had something to do with it as well.

I should have taken a few pics in the bright sun because, I think it looks very similar.
