Gotta love my wife...

I really had no intention of buying a new car up until a week ago when I checked out an S2000. I came across this new 07 this weekend that the dealer was eager to move off the lot. My wife just rolled her eyes and said, "Go ahead." :)

Dealer-installed swirls. I'll likely clay and polish throughout the week and have it swirl-free by the weekend. I can take pics as I go if anyone's interested.

Thanks, guidosrx8!

I was thinking the same. Once I polish it I'm going to top it with some souveran. I just love the non-metallic red. I may put some RMG on beforehand just to get that extra pop.

Thanks blk and klumzy!

I'm really looking forward to seeing souveran on this car once it's polished up.

My previous car had a metallic paint that IMO sealants brought the best out of. But, from detailing other people's cars, and seeing posts here, carnaubas really seem to excel on non-metallic paints. I'm looking forward to getting this car polished up with some Menzerna, followed by RMG and topped with souveran.

Nice looking ride. How's the gas mileage?

Sticker says 20/26. I'll find out how accurate that is as I spend some time with the car.

I'm a big Honda fan, I love it! Nice color too! Four Star UPP topped with Souveran will give you stunning results!!!:righton:

Great looking car Sevenrd. I know the paint will you fantistic after you polish it. Looks like about the same color as my new toy. I always get the roll eyes treatment from my wife.
