I was looking for this the other day and it looks like you are supposed to take the car in for the first oil change at 7500 miles. Can anyone confirm this?

Note that when the car sense that there is 87 octane in the tank, it automatically retards performance. I think that the manual said it can a couple more tanks of 91+ octane before all the power is restored. Who knows, but don't be too worried if you aren't getting all your juice when you put in...

Agreed. With natural waxes you can't build up layers in the same way you can with synthetic products. By doing two coats you may have more of a guarantee that you have full coverage, but you won't end up with more protection.

Definitely do this when you get the chance. The results are well worth it. When you do it though, you really only need z5 as one of base coats. You would normally do a coat of z2, then one or two coats of z5, then z2, z6 (shine enhancer), z2, z6...up to I *think* three coats in 24 hours. I did...

+1 on pakshak.com towels. Have purchased from there twice and have been very happy. The key to keeping micro fiber towels happy is to wash them with liquid detergent (no powder) and line/air dry them (no dryer).

Same deal here. No jewelry and nothing hitting it. I seriously can't figure out where the scratches (some of them pretty deep) came from. (boom06)

Getting the panel off shouldn't be hard for you at all. Especially since you will likely only need to take the bottom portion off. Here's a link with some instructions: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123639016

I just got rid of the clicking sound coming from the cowl under the wiper blades, thanks soooo much to the multiple people that posted the fix for that one! The last rattle / clicking sound I need to fix is coming from what sounds like the pillar between the front and the back on the passenger...

There is something in the soap for sure. It's pretty apparent looking at your cloth after washing the car. It ends up being dirty as would be expected, but the dirt doesn't wring/wash out of the cloth. You end up with a film of grime on your hands as well that doesn't come off very easily.

I think he's saying his mom was driving his car and was starting in third gear because she wasn't familiar with having to push the stick to the left first. This car really isn't the easiest thing when it comes to shifting. It's especially tricky going from 1st to 2nd without the car jerking...

Usually that's due to it being too thick, or not dried completely. If it's streaking, it needs to dry longer. If the coat that's put on is too thick, it can take *much* longer to dry. Go for as thin a coat as you can. Something that helps a lot is the accelerator that Zaino sells. You put a...

^^ It's hard to say. The Zaino looks GREAT when it's done. Not having to dry your car is nice too. Though I'm not about to take the Zaino off. I would say Zaino is better =).

It's funny, I bought that for my black mica speed 3 and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Worked great. Then I gave my car the Zaino treatment (recommended) and the auto-dry system didn't work as well. Before the Zaino the water would sheet off, after the Zaino it beaded so much that the...

A classic Deep Thought...awesome! (drinks)

If you are going to try the Zaino treatment (you should) get the following from the Zaino site: http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=Zaino Zaino Clay bar (doesn't necessarily have to be zaino, but it's just as easy to order at the same time as other stuff)...

LOL! Nice to know it's not just me. Thanks guys!

It doesn't happen all the time, but there a good chance when I'm getting out of the car that I get a small shock. Feels like static electricity. Is this something common to the car? I have an after market stereo system, other than that the car is stock. I'm confident that the system is installed...

Definitely ask your dad for his help even if you might not need it. Pops love that sort of thing ;)

[Clay Bar] Agreed! Works great!
