#98 of 113 Rust Undercoat? by amethiste Jul 27, 2008 (2:39 am)
I just bought my blackberry pearl fit yesterday. The warranty person tried to sell rustproofing, sealant, fabric protection , and rust undercoat (with free Lo-Jack) for $1400. I declined and she said that the undercarriage of the Fit was bare metal. I still declined. I have a hard time believing that this car has no rust undercoating.   Does Honda do rust undercoating at the factory? Does anyone have experience with road salt in the winter? Did they have trouble with the undercarriage rusting?   Thanks Replies to this message: feddup (Jul 27, 2008 8:42 pm) amethiste (Jul 28, 2008 4:13 pm)
#99 of 113 Custom Fit by fit4life1 Jul 27, 2008 (6:59 pm)
Has anybody done anything yet to their fit in the way of customizing? I bought a black 2007 base model about 1 month ago with 2800 miles. So far I tinted all windows except windshield, put in subs, amp, and sat radio, installed keyless entry (yes, the base didn't have it), upgraded to 15" black rims with performance tires, vent visors for all 4 windows, new shifter knob, racing pedals, injen 5" exhaust system, custom spoiler, and I have an injen cold air intake coming this week which will mount behind the front bumper. I def dropped some change on this car so far, but I don't want to look the the others on the road.

Replying to: amethiste (Jul 27, 2008 2:39 am) It's their job to sell high profit items. The profit margin on the fit is, in general, low so undercoatings BLAH BLAH etc. are things they'll push. Wash the underside of the car at a powerwash (handheld, manual) during and after winter months and everything should be fine. Replies to this message: amethiste (Jul 28, 2008 4:13 pm)

Replying to: sportyfit (Mar 25, 2008 6:20 am) I use Blue Coral Dri-Clean Plus Upholstery Cleaner - excellent results! I also use it for carpet and furniture stains in my home. I find it in auto part/supply stores like Pep Boys, Autozone, etc.

Replying to: jaggrin (Aug 23, 2008 1:38 pm) I just made my second fit car payment. I've waxed it once so far. I generally don't use a rub on wax like turtle wax. I've had too many dark trims turn whitish because of the wax. So, now I use rain X wash and wax. It works great. It basically waxes while u wash. My fit is black and can use all the advantages I can give it. I also use rain X on my windows and rain X anti fogging stuff on the inside windows. I guess you can say I'm a rain X nut.
#105 of 113 Wax for Milano Red Fit by fitisgo Aug 23, 2008 (4:57 pm)
I have an 08 Fit Sport in Milano Red, bought new Mar 08, about 5,000 miles on it. The paint is non-metallic (most of the 08 Fit colors are metallic) and I'm having a real problem trying to find a wax that works well. I've tried Maguire's, Turtle Wax (liquid & paste), Nu-Finish 2000, and even the Honda OEM spray polish/wax. They all leave haze/residue and don't buff off shiny/clean. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what brand/type of wax have you used that worked well?
#106 of 113 Re: Tin junk is falling apart 2008 HONDA FIT [jbonsai] by fitisgo Aug 23, 2008 (5:09 pm)
Replying to: jbonsai (May 16, 2008 7:49 pm) I have three 08 Fit Sport Automatics and have not experienced these problems. If you are considering getting a different car, look at the 2007 Ford Focus ZX4 SES. My wife had one for about a year until I sold it (per her request) so she could get a Fit like the ones my son and I drive. The Focus was a great car, except gas mileage would not be as high as the Fit. The manual transmission Focus would probably get you in the high 20s, the automatic version the low to mid 20s (real-world fuel economy.   There is a huge demand and practically no supply for used Fits right now, so if you are considering selling, now is the time to do it (before the new 09 model is available).
