Agreed... I wouldn't even use an abrasive polish on it.

This is gonna sound silly, but I'm not sure. What's even crazier is that I just called my condo management and she didn't even know either. She did say she'll find out and call me back. How crazy is that?

If you wanna get an Infiniti, I'll hook you up with the General Manager @ Willdowdale Infiniti. He's my personal contact through a good friend. I'll make sure he takes care of you.

not everyone has a construction lamp..haha, but it would do a better trick than using a blow dryer since the heat is more evenly distributed over the surface

edit: actually, u should probably go to infiniti and ask if this new type of clear is safe with store bought products....it should be, but u should always confirm...

Good point dude. I'm gonna call my buddy @ Infiniti right now to find out

Funny enough, that's great advice. If only I didn't live in a condo, I would definately invest in one. I think it's nice to have to assess the quality of detailing work performed.

Ahh yes...the truth can be ugly at times. That's why I really want to ensure that I'm taking all the proper steps to ensure this car is taken good care of. I had my last car for 11 years. I'm pretty loyal to the car as long as it takes care of me. Mutually benefiting relationship...haha
