will need to do the sealant on the 09 pretty soon... not really looking forward to that. |
It's funny, the Fit is such small car but because it is also pretty low it is a tad bit of a PITA to clean with the PC that I have.
I have realized what I did wrong the last time I used my PC on the car and since I ran of out daylight I had to cut it short. I cut most of the swirls out by need to really follow up with my polishing compounds and finally try out that sealant.

Nice! I thought for sure mine was going to be blue too but it ended up coming in light silver instead.
Not sure if you have used a cover before but just keep an eye on how dirty your car is before you cover it. Light dust is fine but if it's really dirty you don't want to cover it until you can wash it. Also be aware of your exhaust tips and if you come home after a cruise just leave them uncovered until they can cool down.

I live a 10 minute walk from the ocean and it really cools down at night so if I don't cover it I end up having a really dirty car after literally one night of being outside since it gets covered in dew. I know you're not the biggest fan of them but for me I really find them useful and now that I have had literally 5 different ones between my two cars I know the best practice with them.
Also, for me it helps to make my cars less noticeable to passerby's. I have two really modified cars sitting in my driveway with some valuable parts on them so if I can at least hide them when I am asleep or away it gives me some piece of mind
