If you ask me it's black on black but..
My wife says it's Dark Amethyst Metallic with Charcoal interior.
I think she wanted it to make it harder for me to clean. :shades:
It does look very sharp with the chrome clad wheels. I really like the blazing copper the best.
I admit it. I use the carwash. but I work at the detail shop so I can repair anything that the carwash does. The main thing is how clean the carwash is, If it's full of dirt or mud then yes it will mess up your ride. But if it's clean and well maintained and has the right amount of soap everything SHOULD be fine. I would stay away from the public carwashes with the brushes. You never know who drove their 4X4 through full of mud.
Has anyone ever tried the "Meguiar’s Dual Action Polisher"? We have one at work and it's sweet. Takes about 5 minutes to wax my Edge.
As for wax I use Eagle One's NANO wax with the DA Polisher. If you have a black ride (or almost black Dark Amethyst Metallic) you should give it a try. The NXT wax from Meguiar’s is good for the rest.
If its just dirt, wax or grease...
Try some degreaser and a damp carwash mit.
Try to keep the degreaser off the paint.
If you don't you will need to wax where the degreaser was.
Armour All might cover it up , but will collect more dirt.
The Chrome Clad rims are clad in plastic chrome.
Car wash and window cleaner will clean almost everything on the rims.
If that dont work, try some nonabrasive clearcoat safe car polish.
This is good for the other Edge rims also.
the microfiber detailing cloth are also recommended.
