Got my XLT Friday!!

[Ringo]

My velocity blue XLT with LUX package came in Friday. All I can say is it has exceeded expectations! Fit, finish, panels and paint are really better than my last 5 cars.
165 miles. 26.8 mpg So far.

Three surprises. 1. How good the stock wheels look in real life. Right color and gloss.
2. How quiet it is . And 3. How good the stock stereo sounds, (at least for this price point)

Spent the day getting the railroad iron out of the paint and it shines like a jewel!

Tips on how you got the rail rash off? I picked up a cleaner specifically for that but appreciate any help as well.

Used the green stuff from Nanoskin via Amazon. Spray on dry car couple panels at a time and let sit for 5 to 10 min in the shade. DONT let it dry or it I’ll be HARD to get off. Rinse with power washer, hose won’t do it

First 5 min, nothing then specks of purple started showing and by 10 min it looked like I had shaken black pepper on it! Rinse, rinse, rinse. When it dries it is a booger to get off.

I used that brand cause it was safe for wheels, glass and plastic unlike a lot of the others.

Pretty easy way to get it down to pure clear coat.

Clay bar is also a great way to begin the paint detail process on a new car.

Appreciate the pix Ringo, she's a beaut!

I'm 6' 3" The camera was only 2 ft off the ground so the scale is off.. I am able to even wear a hat with no issues, (glad I didnt get moon roof) In fact it adjust out very well for me and my 5'2" wife Very happy with all of it!

Why are you glad you didn't get the sunroof? Beautiful ride!!

Moonroofs take 2 inches off the headroom. Too close for me.
