One thing you won't hear is that it's long-lasting, UV-, tree sap- and bird-dropping-resistant. Technically speaking, the easy to find, inexpensive to buy, easy to apply suggested NXT is synthetic, so it's not really a wax at all, it a sealant.

Don't be fooled by the sealant protection package offered from just about every car dealer... their a complete waste of money. Take your new car home, give it a nice wash with a ph-balanced car wash (Not dish soap), clay the car to remove any remaining rail dust and microscopic debris, and then give it a nice coat of wax/sealant. Whatever product/method you choose... with a nice shiny car, life is good.

Got 2 children in car seats. Is there any accessory that I can use to cover the back and bottom of seats to protect from the car seat imprints/tears ? Currently I have towels underneath but was wondering if there is a better way.

I have a 2 mo. old "06 MDX and have been washing it myself but weather now too cold and had to turn off the outside faucets. In past have noticed in commercial washes that attendant sometimes places plastic bag around rear wiper. Any purpose? Is there a possibility that these washes can harm the rear wiper?

I have, for various reasons, removed her seat about a dozen times since taking delivery in May and the seats look as new as the day we bought the car. Here is a link to the product.

The bag is placed on the rear wiper because as the car goes through, the rags that hand down and swing about can get caught on the read wiper as the car passes through. If they get caught, the will tear the wiper clean off. The bag helps keep the rags from getting caught on the little edges of the wiper arms. Good luck!

Replying to: mformdx (Dec 08, 2006 8:33 am) Adding this additional protection will keep your seats from getting those horrible indents, that never go away. The car seats fit so tightly that they dig into the padding beneath the leather. Over time, it ruins the seats. This car seat protector is thick enough that it protects from those dents. I'll never install a car seat without one again. And for the low cost, once it gets dirty and nasty, it's not so much to replace it.
