Yeah, I saw a close-up of BBP here on this forum and searched the whole US until I found one...just when the '08 body style was fast disappearing...I got one but it was touch and go for about a week. Enjoy, and keep it clean! Yeah, right...

Clean and I do NOT normally get along but i am going to try my hardest
. I posted on another part of the forum about the plastic infront of the gauge cluster, mine ist skratched to all heck... or they jsut used the wrong cleaner on it, idk what is up with it... Have you had any problems with that? Id really like to replace it. There were 3 cars (used) on the lot.... some light blue color (not thanks) a red one (im not a red girl) and the BBP, It was an instant love connection I was on pins and needles for 3 days waiting to see if I could get it... Very happy so far, everyone i show it to says Wow.. "thats so you" Whatever THAT MEANS!!

Sorry I assumed you were a guy, there are WAY more guys than girls on this forum!
That light blue color is called "Tidewater Blue Pearl," it seems boring at first but it's got the same purplish pearl flecks in the paint that ours does, it's a very subtle color and the most unusual color car on the road today, IMO. I scoffed at it too but the more I see it, the more I like it. It is very popular amongst Asians, especially Asian young adult males, for some reason. The colors of the Jazz in Europe are all pastels like that except for the yellow which we have never gotten as a color choice. Tidewater Blue Pearl is the 2nd rarest color, there was a color in 2007 called Lunarmist which is actually kind of green and I have never seen it on the road.
You probably will have to replace the plastic in front of your gauges if they used some sort of cleanser that had abrasive particles in it. Although there might be some sort of treatment that can clean it...They have this method to clean fogged-up headlamps but not sure if you can get it retail or if you have to get it done by a dealer.

This is not a substitute for claying. It's just a fancy way of saying wax with alot of filler to make scratches less evident.

From what I understand the molecular structure is much smaller and fills the Fine scratches better. I used it and liked it Alot. and I've been doing body and paint work since 1976. if you have a waxxed car this will add to the luster of the shine.
It's not for someone who never waxes their car!!! I used it like a detailer, and drove 2 days and 200 miles in the rain washed the Fit and it looked like it did before I left.
And yes to the plastic question asked by Juliane I thought the same thing and tried it on a micro fiber and the lens on the dash and it helped fill the scratches
.
Claying a car will take you back to the Paint pulling off all wax, dirt ect. At this point a good sealant and wax will be needed to protect the Paint.
It's a good product but it's not the "all U need" product just a great accessory to a paint protection arsenal.
Look at what "Fallen Rock" does to a car and the steps taken to achieve this.
Sorry Nanowax can't touch that.

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. Great pics everyone. I'm in an S2000 now. I'm about to sell it and hopefully I'll be picking up a BBM shortly thereafter.
Put on the candy purple powdercoat wheels!
