Our new NBP TSX

My fiance and I just bought our first car together and we both love it. I haven't taken a bunch of pics yet but here's one to start off my posts here as a noob.
Enjoy....

It wasn't until after the first wash that I noticed the blue and purple-ish metal flake in the Black Nighthawk Pearl. I think Acura has some really nice paint colors!

You and your wife are definately not brand loyal - those are three very different cars. But all black. Very interesting...

Great choice on the color.

Even better choice on the other rides in the driveway.

Actually, the vette is green. It's a very dark metallic green so you really can't tell unless good lighting. This picture that I took above was just something I shot real quick with bad lighting. But thanks for the comments. I love riding in the new TSX but nothing compares to cruising down the road in the vette.

I see a two car garage... That poses some problems now.

By the way, if you've had the vette for a while, any tips or tricks on maintaining a dark color car (swirl mark issues, scratches, etc.).

Oh, and the grill on the Ford is sweet.

Tips, sure:
keep it clean, use the california blade to dry, use only white 100% cotton made in USA towels, and ZAINO!

Sweet rides.

BTW, isn't the california blade the best.

Some believe that Zaino on black doesn't give the "wet look" or depth of shine that waxes may produce. Care to comment?

BTW, I am also a fan of polymer sealant.

If you put the same amount of work into the job, ie-one coat, then yes, it doesn't look as 'deep' as a thick wax. But the thing I like about a polymer type coat is that it lasts much longer and seems to protect better. I've never had a waxed finish stay looking 'waxed' after getting dirty and washing once. With the polymer (Zaino) it still has that 'waxed' look after washing a few times. But boy, do 2 or even 3 coats of Zaino and watch out! Can you say slick!!! After putting 3 coats of Zaino on the vette I literally could not rest a towell anywhere on the car w/out the towell falling off.
