I'm in union county...

Its a black tsx, i used to keep up with it, but got discouraged when the dealer ruined it. The car was extremely dirty when i brought it into the to get my tranny swapped (i just got back from a trip to PA). When asked if i wanted them to wash it, i told them NOT to. They did though, got a ton of very fine scratches as a result. They also put a dent in the trunk, and while it was parked some lady hit it.

I've gotten 2 wash and waxes, and it was also taken care of at the body shop... I think that a full service will take care of it. If i'm not up for doing it myself you're probably my best option... the professional detailers in my area suck. But I have so much free time atm, if i dont do it myself im crazy.

You should come to teh meet on saturday

Brandon, I wasnt going to touch on that, but since you did!!
You can probably find exactly what you got from Adams for about 25-30% less at CG's.

I'm going to try to detail this weekend. I am planning on washing/clay bar/waxing. Should I try to polish as well? the paint is not bad at all BUT there are some dull spots i guess from trying toget tree sap off (trunk and hood BTW, these spots are only visible if you look at an angle, hopefully you know what i mean ...without polishing, would everything look uniform? OR, should I just go ahead and polish as well and if so, what's a quick fix brand...I don't want any of these 24 hour coats or anything as I'm just trying to spend a day doing wash/claybar/ and wax. any help would be great...thanks

Polishing, in my book at least, after claying, is mandatory. OR, at least use a paint cleaner.......
If you have time to seal, you have time to clean..............Dont waste this single most important step.
Scratches, swirls (however light) use a polish. (671 or 652)
Pristine, use a paint cleaner to remove any previous protection to allow for better bonding. (105 or 101)

Check the above for Duragloss products at the local retail level. Not all of the above stores will have them, but its certainly worth a try.........They keep a very low inventory to avoid overhead.
Seal with #111
