That car would look silly with a different colored hatch.

Silly goose!

I meant 'hatch' as in the whole car being the wrong color

As in it should be Yellow Blaze

I guess it could be worse.. atleast its not a sedan!

Um... HELLO!! IMHO, the sedan is a much more complete/finished visual thought. The hatchback looks truncated/foreshortened to my eye. My SEL looks much like a 2/3 scale 2000-ish Audi A6 to me!

To each their own. IMHO that 2000s A6 doesn't have the most stunning side profile.

Then you need to see an optometrist!

Now to get back to the original post and the video. I use nothing but dish washing liquid and warm water. Always have and always will. My cars have never been any more or less protected than those who spend hours and $. Waxing looks good, but I've got better things to do than wax a car. IMO

I clayed and waxxed the vehicle a month or so back.. Definetly a lot of work and was NOT worth it (this time), mostly because my dealership waxxed not to long before I picked up the vehicle

Its nice at first but definetly wears you out when your 1/3rd to 1/2 done lol and you realize how much you still have to do...

I've washed the car maybe 4-5 times and just recently started making a cheap car detailing spray for my vehicle to cut back on hand washes. Now every week or so I just spray it down by hand and give it a nice wipe to get the dirt off then a buff to shine it up with a another rag.

Not at all.... LOTS of visual similarities (we had one in our household back in the day). Again, the sedan just looks more completed or visually "resolved" to my eye.
