New to the boards! And brand new owner of a 06 Black H2

[fabeasy]

Hello! new to the boards here. I cannot believe the wealth of information here on detailing cars. I thought I knew alot but dang!

These are bad pics I know. However, my wife and I just picked up this beast last night and will be doing the first detail in a few days (as soon as all my detail supplies come in!) And yes my beautiful black paint came with a free DISO all over the car!

So, I am going to have to start this black car on the right footing! I'll have pics up after the first detail.

Welcome...

Looks like lots of plastic bits to dress as well. I dont know why, but I always enjoy applying plastic dressings. Maybe fumes are getting to me by that point...

Tell me about it. Its a big difference from my previous car which was a Sebring Silver Honda S2000. Which was pretty easy to keep the paint nice and shiny.

But black is another story. And not only that I chose the biggest car! ha! But now I have a growing family to tote around so its worth it!

Thanks! Yes it does fit surprisingly. Even with the roof rack added. Its close though... Maybe about half and inch to an inch to spare.
