My TSX gallery
Got my TSX yesterday (had 8 miles on it!). I spent about 7 hours detailing it (interior, exterior, even my allweather floormats). It's so clean and protected dirt is scared of it. I drove to some nearby parks and took some pictures. Enjoy!

My car looked like ass when I picked it up compared to how I keep my car......the dealer even washed it...some don't take as much pride in cleaning cars, especially when it's not theirs!

NeoChaser: In my point of view, detailing isn't just washing, it's also protecting. Putting polish on the car (I used Zaino) protects it against oxidizers (bird crap, tree sap, bugs, rain) and scratches. I put something on just about every surface of the car that I could to protect it from normal wear so they last longer. I used a ton of 303 on every polymer surface I could find (including the non-bearing belts and hoses in the engine bay).
Also, I had no idea what the dealer does to wash the car, so actually asked them to NOT wash the car. Took me a bit to convince them to not do it. I did everything myself so I know exactly what was done to the car. Now I know that the car went straight from the factory paint job to me (with the plastic protection film while it was being shipped).

I bought the full Zaino kit, so I'm using the Zaino Leather in a Bottle right now. When it's done, I'll probably start using Lexol (they've been making equestrian leather products for decades) along with the 303 I already use.

I don't know why, but I always get a chuckle out of these car photos where you can see the reflection of the photographer in the car. It's hard to get good shots of this car from low angles without getting yourself in the picture.
