Hello all,
I just got a new-to-me used car. A 2012 Honda Fit. It's a beautiful color, sort of a robin's egg blue (the Honda color is "Blue Raspberry"). I don't imagine there's alot of people detailing Fits, but this car's paint is in really good shape for a used car, so I want to keep it that way. The interior is in good shape as well, only a few minor scratches on some of the plastic. Compared to all the other used cars I looked at (and I looked at ALOT) overall I feel like I got a real steal as far an almost-like-new car.
This car is my daily driver, and I'm new to detailing. I've always considered myself a "car girl" though.... when I was younger I was absolutely obsessed with classic cars and was determined to buy one. My allowance was somehow never enough though, lol. As you get older life gets in the way and has a way of letting those obsessions fall by the wayside... I still get weak in the knees however when I see a really great looking car.
Someday if I'm lucky I'll finally be able to fulfill my dream of owning some sort of classic car, and I figured getting my hands dirty with detailing on my little daily driver is a good way to practice and get experience! And, hopefully I'll have a great looking car for a long time while I'm at it!
I've been lurking on these forums for a couple weeks, and been perusing the Autogeek How-To articles.
Just ordered most of my supplies for my first detail - after alot of research, I decided to dip my toes in with the Wolfgang products. Got the Deep Gloss Total Concourse Kit as well as the tire/wheel kit.
I live in an area where it does get cold and it's getting close to that time of year, so going to need to do some winterizing stuff too.
I'm sure you'll see me around asking lots of annoying questions, so thanks in advance!
