With a couple of new drivers in the family over the past couple of years, we've now accumulated selection of vehicles. Guess who the go-to guy (and product supplier) for cleaning them is? While the ends of the spectrum are obvious, the middle is muddy...
Is there a date/model year when manufacturers changed from s/s paint to bc/cc? Seems to me it happened in the late eighties or early nineties somewhere... I've searched around on-line but i guess I'm not using the right criteria as I don't seem to be able to come up with a definite answer. I've even called a few stealerships and could't get a straight answer on a specific model unless it was only a few years old. Was it manufacturer specific?
Mom's car - '83 Datsun 280ZXT 2+2 White
Daughter's car - '88 Honda Prelude (beater - at least four colours of red )
Son's car - '89 T-Bird Black
People and dog mover - '99 S10 Trailblazer Black
Dad's baby - '88 Corvette Bright Red
All of them seem to show some kind of colour coming off on terry bonnets with a PC, although, it could just be product and dirt. The black cars seem to have grey bonnets while the red ones seem to have kind of a brownish tinge (depending on which corner we're doing, the Honda is defintely RED it's hopeless) . The white one just looks grey as well.
If anyone can give me a definitive answer on these models, I'd appreciate it. Knowing what we're dealing in the first place with would be a big help. Thanks everyone!
