    Every car is going to be different!



    With that known and out of the way, how about creating a DB that will lump some basic info on year/make/model known problems or what to expect.



    EXAMPLE:

    7th Generation Honda Civic

    Applies to all colors

    Clear coat failure noticeable with "crows feet" on hood, roof and trunk

    Paint & clear even, but low readings in door jambs and rear bumper cover

    Best to have some type of extension to clean inside windshield





    For the members that have detailed multiple vehicles of the same brand, generation and model; it could come in handy for users to view.

    • hard clear
    • soft clea
    • carpet is a pain
    • leather is a bit more like cardboard from the factory
    • plastic trim extremely prone to fade *nissan*
    • adhesive on badges prone to failure
    • remove door sill covers when cleaning carpet for best results
    • side view mirrors hold lots of water. best blow them out with air before waxing car
    • life saving info for 1 member, but worthless for the masses




    ALWAYS having the disclaimer that every car is going to be different, but in members experiences; this is what you might see.
