Replying to: backy (May 15, 2007 12:20 pm) 15 minutes? No way. I spend at least twice that just drying it after I wash it. Waxing it is going to take me several hours, no doubt. I read on the FitFreak forum that it took one person five hours, but he sounds like me, someone who will do every nook and cranny, the inside of the doors, etc.

Get yourself a squeegee (for wiping glass) and a nice, big, fluffy cotton terrycloth towel, and you can dry off your Fit in about five minutes. Ten tops. Like the Men's Wearhouse guy says: "I guarantee it."

Replying to: backy (May 15, 2007 6:47 pm) I'm sure when I get around to waxing it it will take me several hours, because I am careful and very detail oriented. No slap dash job for me, not with my brand new Fit! It's a car I intend to keep for the next 20 years or more at least (I kept my previous car for 22 years), so I will take great care with it... at least initially.

Replying to: anahita61 (May 16, 2007 7:58 am) I'll bet you don't have kids yet, do you? I used to be the same way with my first new car, a '76 Corolla. Waxed it at least once a month, whether it needed it or not. Probably never had a spec of dust on it, or not for long. But even though I did (and still do) a very thorough and careful job washing/drying/waxing my cars, it doesn't take me as long as you take. Enjoy it--while you have that kind of time to spend on your car.

Replying to: backy (May 16, 2007 11:29 am) I'm just really paranoid about driving around in a brand new car, and parking a brand new car near other cars, and the elements (you should see me when hail is predicted!) - I'm kind of panicky about something happening to ruin it. Already a rock bounced up to my windshield while I was doing 70 on the Interstate! Nothing I could do. The windshield is scuffed in several places from this huge rock bouncing all around on it. Luckily it missed the paint, and the windshield is not cracked, but still. It's not pristine anymore.  Yes, I'll make time for the detailing, or pay someone to do it for me. The latter is more likely at my age. |
