wow, just tried turtlewax - wax and dry! *pics
i never used to wax cars,
but i knew when i picked a NHBP fit, that'd i'd keep it clean
anyhoo, picked up some turtle wax wash & dry and some microfiber cloths at walmart today
did the regular car wash, then dried the entire car with a microfiber cloth while also spraying on the turtle wax
seems like pretty good stuff
i also saw "Eagle1" and "Armorall" make the same type of product, but the turtlewax was the cheapest (and most bang for buck, $/mL in the bottle)
any1 else have experiences with those other two? which ones are better?
also in comparison to stuff like claybar? zaino? traditional wax? (all haven't tried before)
this was my first time dealing with 'wax' and it was actually pretty easy, just spray + spray + circular motions
check out the pics i took right after:
wups, guess i missed some water droplets...
interesting to see the water cohesion forces in action in these 'dimple holes' at the front of the windshield
black car + wax = awesomness
oh btw, could someone recomend good cheap floor mats? saw some at wal-mart, didnt know how well they'd fit.... stupid dealer not throwing them in for free

Not a Fit but I'm a fan of autopia... This is my 2004 Vic,
not mine anymore, just after MrClean wash and Zimol wax...
Hope you like it. Good job on your Fit, 'cause black is realy
not easy to work on... I will get my blue Fit in 2 weeks and
you almost make me change my mind for a black one
