know this guy with a beautiful 1974 Toyota Corolla (owned it since new) and
he claims to never have washed the car with soap. It still looks pristine.

I met a guy with an early 60s car that looked brand new. Not a show car, his daily driver. He said he wiped it with kersosene.

P.S. The Elise will NOT ever see a automatic car wash that touches it.

I have used both Griots and Zaino and they both came with instructions on cleaners -> clay bar --> polishing compound ---> Wax.


I really liked the x-pel stuff at the LA Auto Show. The VP of Marketing was talking to Lotus there.

P.S. Adding a clear bra will be a dealer installed option that you are supposed to order at the time of your initial order. Because then they will not install the standard clear plastic protection on the rear of the car (directly behind the doors). That is what I was told, but they were working out some details still.

I tried putting Rejex on them. After a while I decided it was not really a savings in work. YMMV.
