For me it appears on the window, the hatch, and the bumper. I first noticed it on a sticker I have on my rear window when the white area was covered in the dust after a few weeks without a wash.
 
I never really thought about the source, but I figured it would be from the high-traffic freeway driving I do on the quite crowded I-5 in southern California.

I get dark soot/dust/dirt on the top of the back bumper (below hatch) where water collects and drys, leaving stuff behind. I rinse it off weekly. I would expect its collecting on back of car due to vacuum (lack of turbulence in back) while driving.

It's clear, you don't have to worry about getting on the metal "Fit" emblem because it leaves no "white residue". It is easy to use and really looks great on the Black color.

I've always used this. No silicones (promotes oxidation). Not a wax. Petroleum based (which I believe comes from the road to begin with no?)
Polish and glaze not a wax. Probably similar to NuFinish. Non abrasive and works good with the orbital.

Honda Fit Glove Cover question by doef

Hi all,
 
This is actually my first post in this forum.
I just bought used Fit which is 2WD (GD1) in Japan. But there is significant scratch on glove cover. So I am planning to replcae it. Yes, I could find the part in auction. But the auction offers the glove cover for GD2 and GD3.
 
GD1: 1.3L L13A engine 2WD
GD2: 1.3L L13A engine 4WD (Japan only)
GD3: 1.5L L15A engine 2WD
 
I am wondering if they are using the same glove cover.
 
I really appreciate your help.
 
Regards.

The glove compartment cover should be the same. I would have assumed the GD1 was a popular choice in Japan so I am not sure why they would only state "GD2 and GD3" in the auction...or why not GD4 as well?
The color would be my only concern. From Honda's Japanese Fit site, it appears that there are different upholstery colors/designs on different levels of the Fit, and I don't know if that might extend to the plastics too?
 
Anyway, as long as you can find one that is the same color as your GD1, I think any JDM Fit glove compartment cover would work. Best of luck!

Rear hatch by frogdaddy

My kid decided to climb in the back and push the rubber grommit that hides the hole to the interior hatch release.
I had to take apart the interior plastic which led to scratching and breaking clips. Argh!!!! Oh well I can replace the clips and now I know how the interior plastic comes off. I can live with some of the plastic scrapes too. But I think the plastic is almost too cheap since it scratches so easily. Just me.
