Honda Accord

[DETAILROOKIE]

Hello all,

I just ordered a new Honda Accord and should be arriving next week midweek.

Any tips on dealing with Honda paint? I know it is really soft, but anything I should watch out for?

This is the same exact car I am getting, but a 6spd manual.

Detail Rookie...I'M JEALOUS! (come on out to Chicago, I need to drive one) I love that color and as a member of AG your going to make that color look amazing! The only thing I'd change on the car is have the Touring rims instead of the Sport wheels. I say this because I'm not a fan of gloss black and the Touring wheels are the same but in silver, but I digress.

Congrats on the future new ride and can't wait to see it come along to be the nicest one around!

As you know it’s probably soft paint. Which means if the dealer washed it you’ll find many swirls and rids. But it’s easy to correct. Enjoy, I keep hearing good things about this newest Accord.

Thank you! I actually went to buy a CR-V and saw this and fell in love!

I already have a plan for it when I get it on Tuesday or Wednesday. Come on over to Raleigh and you can drive it all you want!

I agree, the wheels are going to be a serious pain to maintain and they might be swapped out in the future, but for now I will have to deal with them.

Thank you for that. I have already told them not to put any protection on the paint and not even to wash it!

They tried to sell me on a product called " Resistall" and it is supposed to be a ceramic coating for interior and exterior for $899. I laughed and said I'll take my chances without it lol.

Wow, that car is awesome!

Car with soft paint like Hondas are the ones that benefit from ceramic coating the most. If I were you I would get the paint perfected then coated.

Sweet! good call on the manual transmission.

I have a silver 2.0T manual that I purchased last year. There were zero swirls on the paint to boot!!!! Light polish and I coated the horizontals with Opti-Coat, used Blackfire Crystal Coat sealant on the vertical panels because someone took some paint off after I had it for a week or so. Once that's done I'll coat the verticals and be done with it for awhile.

Compared to my 2015 VW CC 2.0T Manual, this was a step up in features and space.
