Replying to: tl_2007s (May 11, 2007 3:18 pm) I had a transparent bra or invisible bra installed on my 07 Acura TL. Covers the entire front end of the car, including headlights and fog lights. It's a 3M product that protects from rock chips. Amazing product. I have over 12,000 miles on my car and not one rock chip yet. Spend the money on that. That cost about 700 bucks to install and last the life of the car. Dealers don't install it, so search transparent bra or invisble bra and have that done.

Replying to: greggrob (Sep 17, 2007 2:19 pm) Dealers don't install it, so search transparent bra or invisble bra and have that done.   Excellent advise, as I have also had the 3M film installed and I'm also very happy with it.   The Dealer will install this for you, but most outsource the work. My dealer had a 3M certified installer on staff so I got lucky. Ask the dealer before going elsewhere, since it's a much better idea to have it done before taking delivery of any new car.   Just be sure of the brand materials being used. Some are very good....others are not.
#485 of 540 How to remove rear window brake light to clean window? by greggrob Sep 18, 2007 (7:17 am)
Anyone know how to remove the rear window brake light in order to clean the window and remove the clouded residue. I have an 07 Acura TL and the rear brake light is clouded over. Not sure how to remove the cover from the inside to gain access to the brake light. Don't want to pull on it and break it. Thanks.

Replying to: chkntony (Sep 18, 2007 7:35 pm) Acutally, it's the film collected on the window from the chemicals released from the plastics when the car is hot. That's why the windows get that haze on the inside after a while. It's only going to get worse. Never the less, probably good to know how to remove that third brake light to replace bulbs down the road. I just don't want to break it when I remove it. I'll ask the dealer on my next oil change.

Replying to: greggrob (Sep 21, 2007 10:11 am) The info should be in the manual. I went looking for it, but couldn't seem to find anywhere on Acura's site where manuals can be downloaded or viewed....only ordered. Acura's website is actually quite sad after comparing to others. They have a fantastic interface with a virtual tour of every vehicle, which is actually really cool, but they fall way short on information.   I can't view a manual??? Silly, I tell ya!
#489 of 540 Blackfire Wax by billiken Oct 23, 2007 (5:43 pm)
Anyone have any thoughts on this product? I've heard good things about it. I know a lot of people recommend Zaino, but I understand it's a lengthy process to apply. Thanks in advance for any responses. Replies to this message: rone3 (Oct 24, 2007 1:23 am) scottm123 (Oct 24, 2007 4:33 am) upstatedoc (Oct 24, 2007 10:08 am) scottm123 (Oct 25, 2007 5:26 am)

Replying to: billiken (Oct 23, 2007 5:43 pm) I use Black Magic Wax. It's easy to apply/remove. Need to buff very lightly with a clean towel after removal. Gives great protection and a superb gloss. I've found nothing better if one does not have a lot of extra time/energy for detailing. Costs less than $5.00 at Menards. My two cents.
