Well, I told my wife a while ago that I would give her car a good handwash. I started it and realized how badly it needed a coat of wax. The more I washed, it was obvious that waxing made no sense without claying the car first...I did not touch the interior though, lol.

Dirty:

Here's a video showing the difference between a clayed surface and one that has only been washed:

And here are the clean pics. Washed with ONR, clayed with MeGuiars clay kit, and waxed with Zaino ZAIO:

We like it. We opted for a lower optioned six cylinder vs a better optioned four cylinder because the four was absolutely pathetic. We haven't had anything major (more than one day at the dealer) yet and we've had it three years.

Yeah....we drove a 4 cylinder with a 6sp auto. I like the new Pentastar motor a lot.

They have a Journey R/T....but that would be like buying an SS Cobalt!

The Journey R/T is appearance only. You can actually get a four cylinder R/T.

That would be even worse! Looks like it will probably be a SXT 3.6 FWD....in PS2 of course!!! :)

That's what our's is, but in black obviously. I kind of wish we had gone with an AWD model though.
