Default Getting a 300M detailed

So I spent $200 and had the "detailed" inside and out before shipping it to
my in-laws. I used to wax and in later years put NuFinish on my cars, but I
have to say they never came out like this. It is incredible. Maybe I
should keep it. LOL.

I have to think that although the car is gorgeous, the process had gone to
wear out the clear coat faster? Any ideas on whether that is true?

Art,

I don't believe so. Owning a Black 300M has taken its toll out on my arms.
Sort of like the karate kid with "wax on, wax off" for four years. I have
not only kept this car clean, but also have maintained the paint by using
polish and wax. I see no evidence of the clear being removed.

Unfortunately, in the direct sunlight, you can see the scratches in the
clear caused by the automatic car wash. What can you do? It's either salt
staying on the car or having it removed but marking the clear.

No more dark colored cars for me. They're beautiful when clean but they
don't stay clean for long.

Ken

I think they used polishing compound on the finish which is something I
never did. Did the polish you use have an abrasive in it?

We never used Polishing Coupmound. When the going got tough, I used 3M
Fill 'N Glaze, which is perfectly CC safe, or a swirl remover for black
cars made by another company. If you couldn't at least HIDE the blemishes
with either or those products, you needed new paint...

Art,

Not that I'm aware of. I use either Mothers or Meguiars polish.

By the way, my 2 new Honda's are white. They get filthy very quickly. My
300M and Avalon were beige. That is probably the way to go. I still don't
buy silver. I've seen too many cars with problem silver/gray paint. Plus
it matches the road so the car is less visible.

Actually the 300M looks so beautiful all cleaned up that maybe we will keep
it and give them the new Accord hybrid. Yeah, if that lottery ticket comes
thru, that is exactly what we will do.

Why, did you win the PowerBall?

Right...$1M a day for a year! I can handle it.

I have white and even though it show dirt, it doesn't show scratches or
imperfections. I can also have it washed and not see the water drops when
some of it sprays back on like I have to with white.

The only silver that I ever liked was the Chrysler bright silver. Otherwise
I still like white and gold/champagne and the red that Chrysler offers.
