yah the 3" is almost a requirement to do the roof sidepieces, side sills/rockers, and rear.
since my car is relatively swirl free i just used a sealant with polish, called One-Step Sealant from Griots. it leaves behind a teflon like slick (and hard) surface. lasts a long time.

i dont like spending much time on my dd's.

They called it a good will fix on the paperwork. I'm just glad the arm rest is no longer cracked

In other news on my drive to the dealer this happened. I was several car lengths behind an F150 who was in the right lane with some sort of kayak or canoe sitting in the bed. I was in the right lane. Well as my luck would have it the paddle blows out of the bed and skids over into my lane. The brakes on the Fit were not going to shut it down in time and at the risk of getting rear ended if the person behind me wasn't paying attention also with a vette on my left side I had no room to go anywhere. I did my best to try and miss it at the last second. But my passenger rear wheel caught one end of the paddles and shattered it in a million pieces with the help of my rear bumper.

Looks like I may have gotten away with one as the black mark left by the plastic paddle on the rear bumper by the fender well rubbed off and I didn't see any other marks although its raining here and hard to tell what other marks may be present.
