#2 of 31 Exterior Care - Polish by johnnyj Jun 12, 2004 (4:15 am)
If you are a fanatic about the finish of your car you have got to try Zaino polish. I have used this product for 5 years now and have found nothing that compares. Do a search on Zaino Brothers. You won't find this in any stores but online. I used this exclusively on my recently traded in 200 300M and the paint looked as good as it did on Day 1.

#3 of 31 Front girll by Hacksaw Jun 24, 2004 (9:39 pm)
As a semi-frequent city commuter, one thing that worries me about this car: it has no front bumper. Well, it does, but it's behind the plastic front grill. How does this thing fare when someone misjudges a bit when parallel parking? When leaving a spot, lots of people back-up until they feel a bump. If that's the case, this grill looks and feels like it will crack.   Granted, bumpers are no guarantee against damage, but they sure do help!   Any thoughts on this? It's a really sharp car but this worries me a bit. Replies to this message: dkrhardy (Jun 25, 2004 8:16 am) Hacksaw (Jun 25, 2004 7:21 pm)

Replying to: Hacksaw (Jun 24, 2004 9:39 pm) Wow hacksaw - cars haven't had bumpers for years! The plastic/rubber facia started - hum - geez, when was it? Replies to this message: Hacksaw (Jun 25, 2004 7:21 pm)

Replying to: dkrhardy (Jun 25, 2004 8:16 am) I call that plastic/rubber facia that protrudes from the front of the car a *bumper*. It's usually thick, flexible, and resistent to damage caused by very low speed "bumps". The 300 does not have this-- it has a rigid grill. To me, this looks very prone to breakage and not practical at all if you're going to be parallel parking often.

I've noticed a downfall to the 300's front end.....a big bug collector! Replies to this message: jeep (Jun 29, 2004 4:08 pm)

Replying to: dennis (Jun 29, 2004 8:08 am) I must agree. See my posting on the other owners site.   I must say though that after spraying with the garden hose, letting it soak, spray again, and give it some soap. the front nose came spotless. It appears that all the bugs finally just slid right off.
#8 of 31 300c awd in winter by undecided6 Dec 15, 2004 (11:05 am)
300c is coming out with awd early 2005. how will it do in snow with front wheels pulling 32% and rears pushing 68%? I thought to be the best in inclement weather it should be the opposite? Can someone advise me? trying to decide if 300c awd for my choice in snow.

Replying to: johnnyj (Jun 12, 2004 4:15 am) I haven't tried Zaino yet but curious. Currently using P21S and Wolfgang products. Wash with P21S shampoo and their wheel cleaner (oem painted aluminum on 300T), then use P21S conditioning polish. Follow this up with Wolfgang Sealer below moldings and bumper (the high grime areas) and P21S carnauba above molding and light covers...next day hit entire painted surface with carnauba coat. Routine really sets off the magnesium pearl color, which looks dull in California sun without fresh coat of wax. Sealer below molding makes rinse off a breeze and carnauba on top sets off faceted lines of car. Dress tires with Meguiars Hot Shine. Quick detail with Meguiars Quick Detail once or twice a week...any more and it seems to take slickness of carnauba away. Products applied by hand with terry cloth or foam applicator and taken off with terry cloth and buffed with microfiber.
