I should invent a thin 50 layer, clear car tape. I could peal one layer off every day and reapply in 50 days
You could always plasti-dip it. A surprising number of people do this these days because it protects the paint, and you get to do whatever color you want. Can DYI it too. I have seen some quite excellent results: I have considered doing my roof in black so it would look like this one. Looks fantastic on the red and on the white Clarities and if I had one of eithe of those, I would Plasti-dip the roof. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=fldSJ6pq&id=A3B7FA617B64D25001C2930748AC920C1CBEF242&thid=OIP.fldSJ6pqmENNVqGLwA_3RwHaE6&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2Fst.motortrend.ca%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F42%2F2015%2F10%2F2017-Honda-Clarity-Fuel-Cell-front-side-view-white.jpg&exph=1360&expw=2048&q=HOnda+Claridy&simid=608030783360664182&selectedindex=55&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6
And if you get tired of it, if done correctly (as shown in the above video) it peels right off. Only lasts a few years, but completely protects the paint.
That would be cool to change your color every 6 months or so. I'd need a professional as I would find a way to screw it up. I like that pressure washing nozzle and sud cleaning substance in the beginning. That appears to make washing quick and easy without having to go to one of those car washes.
I love my green! I wanted the lighter interior (had an old black GMC Jimmy with black interior and dreaded getting into it in the summer) and was glad that the green had the tan interior. In low light it does look black, but in brighter conditions it looks fantastic. I get lots of compliments.
A couple of folks asked for photos of my father in law's white clarity with the body molding and chrome accents. I finally thought to get photos:
I've mostly driven junkers that totally look like crap. I like the Clarity a lot. I've washed it about once every 3 months. I think it looks awesome. My Clarity looks better dirty than my last ride when it was spotless.
I hope you all will begin to consider sympathy for us silver owners — we have to clean our cars very systematically because it is difficult to find the dust... I hope you will all show some sympathy towards us Silver Clarity owners -- we have to clean our cars very systematically because it does not show the dust...
I also have questions on the body molding and chrome accents. Are they OEM parts installed dealer? If not, can you share the vendor name and part numbers? Thanks.
The dealer will install them for you, but of course they charge full price for the parts and include labor. The honda description and part number for the chrome accents is Door Trim, Chrome - Honda (08F57-TRT-100) For the Body Molding, you must order the correct color for your car: PLEASE Double check these before ordering to make sure I copied them correctly to match the right color of your car: Moldings, Body Side Part Number: 08P05-TRT-160 Other Names: Molding, Body Side *R543P* (Carnelian Red Pearl) Moldings, Body Side Part Number: 08P05-TRT-150 Other Names: Molding, Body Side *NH797M* (Modern Steel Metallic) Moldings, Body Side Part Number: 08P05-TRT-190 Other Names: Molding, Body Side *NH883P* (Platinum White Pearl) Moldings, Body Side Part Number: 08P05-TRT-120 Other Names: Molding, Body Side *NH731P* (Crystal Black Pearl) Moldings, Body Side Part Number: 08P05-TRT-140 Other Names: Molding, Body Side *NH704M* (Super Platinum Metallic) Moldings, Body Side Part Number: 08P05-TRT-180 Other Names: Body Side Moldings - Moonlit Forest Pearl, Molding, Body Side *BG66P* (Forest Green Pearl)
