- Honda Jon bringing you this video showing how important a cost of wax is. We all know that paint nowadays Is not what it used to be so protecting it is very crucial. For about an hour or so of your time it really can give you the outer layer of protection that you’re looking for. And it doesn’t cost much at all. It’s the very first thing I do when I buy a new car because you don’t know how long this is been sitting and what’s been on it. Thanks

The best wax you use is mcguire's 26 that's what all the detailed shops use I used to run a detail shop so that is the best wax you can get for that car
Thanks man. What kind of wax is it?
@@HondaJon It's in a bottle and it's cream base so you squeeze it onto the car and then with one of pads buff in let get clouded and buff out it come out pretty easy
Thanks man. I’ll definitely check it out
@@HondaJon let me know how work out for u
Looks great!! I keep my cars for 10-11 years so I hade my Civic ceramic coated. The colour really pops, I've had so many people ask what I did to the paint to make it look so good.
Nice. That’s great. I wish I can keep mine that long. I really need to
Thank you so much for all of your informative videos. I have learned so much from you already. I look forward to all of your future content. Keep up the great work!
Aww. Thanks. I appreciate that. And as always thanks for the support.
Jon I have a confession....I bought a Camry instead. Lol I subscribed to you a few months ago when I was in the market. I loved accords, but I am 6'5" and didn't have enough knee room against the center console. Ended up going with an '18 Camry XSE V6. Still subbed to you though, for the awesome content you put out.
Thanks man and congratulations. You made a great choice. You can go wrong either way. Toyota’s are great cars. Would love to see what you do to it. You can always reach me at hondajon00@outlook.com 👊🏼
Thanks for the video
Would you do a video for interior cleaning. ☺️
Thanks for watching. For sure. Next time I detail inside I’ll do a video of my routine. 👍🏻
Love your vlogs
I use shine armor waterless wash and wax with a ceramic coating and I’m a big believer on maintaining my and my girls vehicles since their out in the elements.
Thanks man. I appreciate that. That’s great stuff.
Wow ok 👍🏽 thank you!!!!!
Great video BUT terrible color choice
Thanks but I have always love lunar silver
Nice video Jon. For those who are wondering, a new car's paint is far from perfect especially since they sit on the lot for weeks/months and sometimes run through the dealership's automatic car washes (such a no-no). With every new car I get, I'm doing a full detail (decontamination by claying/iron removal, polishing, etc) followed by applying PPF to the prone areas of the car. Looking forward to your next mods, did you do suspension on your last car or plan to with this one?
Thanks man. I agree. It’s an important step for sure. I didn’t do any suspension mods on my last car but thinking about doing some things on this one.
What about how he cleaned the card before Waxing?
Thank youuu!!!
Anytime 👍🏻
Did you apply by hands using microfiber? It would have helped to show how you applied it.
Yeah I did by hand. It’s really easy. Next time I can show exactly how I did it.
Lookin good as Always If you go ceramic it’s not a simple wash car apply You have to clay bar and polish and apply ceramic with other steps In between and always know the nano technology gets in the clear and you need way more than just a clay bar to get it off if you plan on retreating You can remove it but it is very time consuming and difficult I love ceramic coating I have done it before Just choose not to on my 2020 Accord I prefer to use high end wax and other options in between If ceramic wasn’t so hard to remove I would be sold on it but it isn’t unless you have all the right knowledge equipment and are very familiar with it But it is a amazing and impressive I spent 5 hours applying all the correct steps to do it right on my 2020 Camry
Thanks for the tips. I’ve heard it’s an extensive project. Not sure if it’s worth it since I take extra good care of the paint and usually garage it as well.
That’s how I feel using gold class Meguiars and in between high end wax restorer It works great for me and I live in the North East
You can only ceramic coat a few times then you must remove and re do it but with wax it’s the same but getting it completely off is way faster Then you just polish and reseal with wax
I think it’s more for people that are not as ambitious as waxing more yearly I do it every ; months and the gold class wax and restorer spray works perfect for me
I agree. It’s a great product for sure.
use a ceramic coating it last 1 to 5 years depending on the ceramic you use
Thanks man. I was looking at it. Not sure if it’s worth the price for me since I’m really diligent with the paint and always garage it. Never had an issue with paint.
@@HondaJon do it your self it's easy to do and not that expensive i use exoforma 9H its 76. last 4 years ! on your new accord it will take 1hr to do you can put it on every part of the car glass ect .
Wow. That sounds good. You have a link where to buy?
@@HondaJon exoforma.com
Great. Thanks. I’ll check
It out.
#1- don't buy an LX. Spend the extra cash. Your butt and back and legs will thank me later. Stuff you don't realize during a 15min test drive- seat comfort. Most disappointing purchase ever. physical pain sitting in these seats for decent drives, which are all of my drives.
Nice man!
Thanks as always bro 👊🏼
@@HondaJon i just wish in a way they made the SPORT TRIM gauge cluster red like the 2016 and 2017 Accord sport with red gauges. You can see the difference in the 1.5 sport gauge cluster rpm on 6 with the approaching red line and the 2.0 sport gauge cluster red line is under the 7 on the RPM
That would be awesome. Same here.
Just sent a email 2 of these I didn’t know wasn’t sure if you did Take care Jon
Awesome man. Thanks. Always good to learn about these awesome cars.
Quick question. Where did you get that panel in your engine compartment that says Mobile 1?
It’s just the fuse box lid. You should have the same one in yours.
LoL. Yes I’m aware that I have the same one in mine. I guess the better question is where or how did you modify/personalize it to say Mobile 1?
It’s just a decal I had made.
@@HondaJon Do you have a link where i can go to have something done?
Of course. Check out www.ebay.com/itm/172823089990
Message here with the size and color you want snd she can make a listing for you. It takes a few weeks since she’s in another county but the best at what she does.
What’s your thoughts on the new 2021 Honda Accord ?
It’s nice but wasn’t impressed. I honestly thought it would be a lot different. It looks the same I think. I would jump into it unless you have had yours for a few years since the remodel is what will really change things.
Yeah I agree. I mean we bought a refreshed pilot and it changed the grille and rear lights and the infotainment system. The accord didn’t even get that.
You know I agree with that. I love the look of the Accord.
Honda Jon yeah I have the 2018 lx and wanted to get the sport but I’m not liking the fog lights. I’ll wait for a remodel
That’s a good idea. Then you’ll have more options as well
Hi Jon, have you heard of CARid dash kits? Like the wood trim dash kit? If so have you thought about putting this in your car or have you ever heard of anyone using these kits and what their experience was like? If so please let me know your thoughts. I've been very interested in putting this in my car because it's fairly affordable but am not sure how it will turn out. This also seems like something you would apply to your vehicle.
I have seen them. They look awesome. Pricy but would look great. I’m thinking about doing that later.
Nice video again! Btw, do you have any idea how to mount the front plate?
Thanks man. I appreciate that. Yeah. Yours doesn’t have a bracket?
@@HondaJon nope dude. Im wondering how to mount that without drilling.
Ok. Yeah I wouldn’t want to drill into the body. They do sell kits that are require no drilling. They mount by clipping to the inside of the lower grille. It’s a great option.
@@HondaJon thanks for the info. Do you know where to get that?
Check amazon. I’ve seen some there. A lot of people use them. 👍🏻
Do you recommit buying a portable garage or tarp for my car got same one but in purl blue sport
Nice. I would if you don’t have a garage. Definitely helps especially with Honda paint not being the most durable.
Hey Jon, thanks for the tip. I will definitely look into doing this to my car too.
Question tho, I'm looking into getting a 2020 2.0T Sports or Touring model at this time. I was wondering how much off the MSRP were you able to get? I got a dealer willing to do $3.5K off. To me this is a good deal but I feel like they could take more off though since it is close to the end of the year now. I'm actually able to get more off the Touring though like 5K off.
Also I wanted your opinion on the new 2021 changes. To me I don't like what they did on the outside. On the inside though they ended up giving more stuff to you which is nice. They are also introducing that Sonic Gray Pearl too which I think is a nice color since it came out last year on other Hondas. One thing that they should've done was revise the taillights too though smh. At least make it darker like the new CR-V. I know dealers won't really discount the new ones though maybe not even using the Costco discount either.
Thanks man. I agree. The 2021 isn’t really any different. I was also expecting a little more. I’d definitely get a 2020. I love mine. I would say you can definitely get a better deal. I got $6k off of mine. I would email some dealers near you and ask what’s the best price on a 2020. I’m sure they want to move them to make room for the 2021. $3500 off isn’t bad but I think they can take more.
@@HondaJon Dang you got a really good deal then but I know you said you knew the manager so I'm sure a stranger won't be able to get that much off. I would say 4K-5K off at the most.
Just an update. I took some time and thought it through. I think I'm going to wait for the 2021 Sport 2.0T. They did make enough changes for me to want that instead. Here are the changes they made below.
* Full LED headlights like the Touring
* Wireless AA/ Carplay
* Wireless Charging now included
* Rear USB outlets
* Engine tuning refinements with better throttle response.
* Full LED brake lights now like the Touring (guessing due to new press release)
* Better Honda sensing. Includes braking and lane centering.
I think that's about it. I want that sonic gray pearl paint too! It's an extra charge but im sure it's worth it. That's the only new color for 2021. I believe I could still get at least 3K off with the Costco discount. I'm gonna try to push for 4K though.
Yeah. It definitely helps that my buddy has the inside on the deals 👍🏻. That’s a great choice. If I was getting a car today I would definitely get that. It has nice refinement. Definitely let me know when you get it and shoot me some pics. 👊🏼
@@HondaJon Thanks man, definitely. Hey I'm about a 100 miles from Manly Honda. I don't mind the drive if your buddy could give me a good deal 😄.
I can definitely hit him up. If so I would need to know some specifics. If you want email me at hondajon00@outlook.com and let’s chat 👊🏼
Hey man. I do watch your content and I was gonna ask do you have Instagram by any chance?
Thanks man. I do. @hondajon00
What are your thoughts on a clear bra? I'm getting xpel ceramic tints on my new 2020 sport 2.0t.
That’s a great idea. The paint is thin and rocks easily go right through. I would highly recommend clear protective film.
Great choice on the xpel tint. I’m loving mine.
It's a must if you plan to keep your car for a while and care about rock chips. Also highly recommended to put PPF on your headlights and fog lights. One of my cars has 130k miles on it and the headlights and fog lights still look new.
Good stuff - @will.be.honda.grind
Thanks man. I appreciate it
