k since we're on that topic...
i was checkin out some sites a cpl days ago, and i came across this site:
http://www.5starshine.com/
it was featured in some car magazine i believe..they claim that if u put this stuff on ur car, u wont have to wax ur car for years or somethin like that... that it lasts over 150 car washes...and any dirt that gets on it can be washed off w/ only water. im hopin someone knows if this stuff is legit, or it's a hoax...cuz if it's real, that would make keepin our black FDs clean SOOOO much easier...
thanx

<<That's teflon! It's DAMN hard to remove, which is why it lasts so long. If you have to repaint your car, you'll get fisheyes from the remnants.>>

On my car, if it's just collects dust from the car cover, I just rinse the car off and go for a drive to dry it. It doesn't waterspot like a typical wax does.

My FD is red, but have owned black also. They both look really nice if washed and wax a lot. However, both colors FADE/OXIDIZE easily. I recently bought a white car.. and it is practically maintance free. No water stains or fading. However, chrome on anything looks good. Preference in order...white, black, then red.

Northwest FD3S...that's def. very different.. very unique. i cant say i dont like it...but it'll take a lil while to get to love it =)
i think it's cuz it's a somewhat dull or flat color...in grays, i like more of a metalic look..like that veilside combat grey i think it's called..that's HOT
