#36 of 67 Need Advice on Color by maxx4us Sep 20, 2005 (6:16 am)
I'm thinking of purchasing an 06 Maxx LTZ. I am considering a) silver b) black or c) red. I have never owned a black or silver car. How hard is the black vs silver vs red to keep clean? Any problems with swirl marks, etc. I usually wash the car 2-3 times per month and wax twice a year.   Thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Replying to: maxx4us (Sep 20, 2005 6:16 am) yeah, I'll never own a black car again. It looks great when washed and waxed, but looks awful every other minute thereafter. Instead, I went with the grey metallic. It does not show the dirt like black, and has a terrific sparkle finish to the paint. Good luck. Replies to this message: maxxoliver (Sep 21, 2005 4:40 am)

I had the perma-plate done at the dealers when I bought it and it is really easy to keep clean and I don't have to wax it. I wash it at least 3 times a month.
#39 of 67 Clearcoat scratches by maxx4me Jun 23, 2006 (1:30 pm)
Can anyone recommend how I can remove/cover up a few three inch scratches on my doors, given the fact that the 2004 Metalic Grey Maxx is a clearcoat base? Replies to this message: pao (Jun 26, 2006 10:46 am) maxx4me (Jun 26, 2006 3:39 pm)

Replying to: pao (Jun 26, 2006 10:46 am) Is there no rubbing compound for clear coat paint out there?
#42 of 67 one polish that is unique by kurtamaxxxguy Sep 21, 2006 (12:04 pm)
Corrosion technologies makes a polish called REJEX (you can find it with a web search), about $20 a bottle. This stuff is a siliconx compound that's used by the military to keep bugs, exhaust and other stuff off their vehicles.   There's very little abrasiveness to this compound, which is applied with a soft towel, allowed to dry for around 10 - 20 minutes, and wiped off. Wiping off is easy save you have to turn the towel a lot to avoid buildup and "dragging".   The stuff lasts longer than any wax I have used; around 3 - 4 months - and definitely helps keep bugs from sticking. Don't use it on rough black plastic, though, as it can leave a white haze behind.
#43 of 67 broken gear shift by kurtamaxxxguy Oct 17, 2006 (7:07 am)
Am wondering if any other '04+ malibu/maxx owners have had their shift lever break? The plastic handle on my shifter has become wobbly and can be lifted up a good distance (I don't force it as I'd probably break the wires going to the handle controller).   Anyone had to deal with this? Any fixes come to mind, plz? Replies to this message: kurtamaxxxguy (Oct 22, 2006 2:23 pm)
