I have the yellow wax already, I'll pick up the glase before I wash it next weekend, thanks =)

Re: Black Strip the top sits on

I have 2006 black roadster limited and mine was bad when I got it new. The dealer was able to replace it with a new one under warrenty. They did a great job but it was not easy to get the old off and to replace it. It is a decal and nothing seems to restore it once it is discolored.

Re: Black Strip the top sits on

mine has a wrinkle, but I don't trust the dealership to fix it, if I can get the material I will have my bodyshop do it.. which also does most of my dealerships work...

Re: Black Strip the top sits on

Kinda drifted OT here but has anyone used the Meguiars NXT polish/wax? Looksinteresting, I didn't buy it though. I have a trip in the car this weekend to Wva, and so I don't plan to clean it again until next weekend, so I have some time to think about it.

Re: Black Strip the top sits on

I use all of the Meguire's products. From Car Wash to NXT wax. I especially like the clay bar kit they sell that produces a really smooth finish. This 3-step Smooth Surface Clay Kit contains two clay bars and two different bottles of polish, plus a microfiber towel. I use the Miguire's NXT wax as the last step after the clay, with microfiber towel. See how use all these great products at http://www.meguiars.com/video/ web site. These video's teach you how to keep your car finish looking showroom new.
