Congrats! The car looks great in black, but I just couldnt get another black car. Im anal when it comes to keeping the paint fresh, and black is just frustrating.

What does the dealer 'paint protection' consist of? I would either want a good detail or at least a good claybaring before any seal?

Not trying to jack the thread, but since it came up.

I work at a dealership that sells Sym-tech products, and the regular paint protection does work quite well. But, I would still wax often.
Their new product "Sharkskin" is apparently very much improved over their normal stuff. It's still new, and our dealership HASN'T signed up for it yet. I'm talking with the rep to see if my black FR-S can be a tester.

I'm curious if anyone else has experience with this, or this type, of product.

http://sym-tech.ca/programs-products/sharkskin/

If I do it, I'll do a write up in the Cosmetic/maintenance section.

My black FR-S is currently "at sea". I wonder if it's hit Hawaii yet?
