Solara Convertible + NXT

Mmmph

Mad Detailer
I convinced my boss to have NXT applied to his new Solara.





I likey!

Dropped 1.2" with TRD Springs and Blingin' Chrome TRD 18's with Michelin Pilot Sports all around!



Heh....

I spoke with the store's detail shop before they got the car. I also had a box full of chemicals ready to use.



This Toyota dealer sells NXT products in their Parts Dept., along with Toyota labeled products and some Duragloss.



I examined the paint closely after washing the vehicle and determined that it was good to go. There was some very minor spiderweb swirls. Barely noticeable in bright sun. Not enough to trust the shop to remove them without possibly creating buffer swirls.



Claying was not needed. A Toyota labeled paint cleaner/polish was hand applied first. I helped removed it, then appied NXT. A 20 minute wait and then a final hand buff. You see the results. I like shooting pics on partly cloudy days.



Despite this being a new car, the black paint just didn't pop. The NXT really added a reflectivity that brought out the beauty in the car.



The owner was truly impressed.



The styling of this car is subjective, but the 225HP with 240 Ft Lb of torque @ 3600 RPM is undeniable!
 
I LOVE the new Solara, especially the convertible. Lotsa car for the money, like the styling, the interior is styled well and nice quality. Real nice car...



Great job on the detail!

I really need to talk to your father about you...



Now the interior is really nice on the new Solara. Very good job, but I'd be hard pressed to buy a Solara over an Accord coupe if I was in the market.

lol corey, he likes it too



PISH POSH! Your dad never really liked Honda. Always toyota this toyota that look what my Lexus can do when I do this and that. :p You know I kid, he's a good guy.



The new accords have 240hp. Somehow, when you use premium you get 250hp. Why they just don't say 245hp is my question. And with the 6 speed, very spiffy. Of course, they are known for underrating their engines a bit...
