    Just picked up a pilot for the wife!

    2014 taffeta white to be exact. The 2015s are on the lot so we got a good deal on the '14. Not necessarily a special car but it won't fit in the garage with all the other crap along with my Z and motorcycle so I'm going to throw some Wolfgang sealant on there and do my darnedest to keep it clean.

    Two things I'm going to study up on is using Pinnacle soap with a foam sprayer, I have the foam master but really haven't used it, and what the real deal is on using the boars hair brushes. I really don't want to spend a lot of time washing it each week so I'm hoping the boars hair brush will be a viable solution that won't scratch the paint or leave swirl marks.

    I plan to install some roof rails, bug deflector and running boards of one type or another.

    Nice truck, my neighbor just bought a '14 in black. Very usable room and utility without being a beast on the road.

    Just an FYI, Honda's Taffeta White is single stage.

    Just a warning... The carpeting in the cargo area and on the back of the seats is seriously one of the hardest to clean I've ever dealt with. Dirt and debris just get entangled like you wouldn't believe!

    So no clear coat, didn't know that. Guess I need to be sure and understand how that affects my cleaning of the paint.

    We don't have kids but I'll offer to break a leg to any adult that wants to put their dirty feet on the back of a chair. Haha



    Any way to treat it so its easier to clean?

    Congrats! They are great cars; my wife drives an '09 in Bali Blue Pearl.

    ^This. Very hard, luckily I've only had to vacuum ours at this point.
