Been a little over a week, but finally gave it a proper "mini detail"

Been loving my TLX since picking it up 10 days ago. Usually drive in Eco mode, but found a backroad and used Sport mode. Wow what a difference how the car drives.

I still can't believe how quiet and comfortable this car is. The ride quality is amazing and the fact that it has multiple personalities depending on which mode you're in is really fun.

I haven't done a proper detail on the inside yet, but at least after a few days of rain I finally had some time to do a "mini detail"

- ONR wash
- Clay bar with ONR
- Menzerna power sealant
- Armor All on the tires

I can't believe how much dirt got embedded on the paint/clear coat already. This is the first white car I've owned and maintaining it seems like it's going to take just a bit more work than my previous darker colored vehicles. At least now it looks even cleaner than the day I picked it up from the dealer and has proper protection on it.

Pictures taken with my Galaxy Note 5.

Congrats - looks great!

I don't find the white too hard to keep clean - easier than my wife's black Mazda. Love the contrast with the interior - I went with black interior but it was a hard choice between that and the Espresso.

I didn't have any preference between any of the available interior colors, all look good. This was the first espresso interior I saw and I think in that moment I had decided it probably would've been the one I would've gone for.

It's different and blends in well with the wood grain throughout the car. I've already had a black and gray interior car, brown is definitely different and looks really good imo.

Looks great! At lease with white and SSM (my colour), you do not get visible swirl marks.
