    Garage door hit and paint chip

    I would take it to the dealer you leased it from. That way after the lease is up, if there are any issues with the repair you can say you fixed it. This is my opinion, working for a Honda dealer for 20 years.

    Removing Bug Guts & cleaning your dash / leather trim

    I use Meguiars ultimate liquid wax, not the spray or paste. It's rated as the best wax. Love bugs wipe off easy with one squirt from a water bottle and rag. Also after a rain the water beads up small bubbles and blows dry quickly. I love this wax.

    The rear takes 10 minutes simple to do. The front take a half hour. I used slip clips on the front, instead of removing w/o molding. Below is a link for the front instructions.

I have a 1996 f250 I bought new that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Everyone thinks it...
