MJ, the RX looks awesome. You're representing the matador red owners well 
BTW, I use just a sealant instead of carnuba or spray wax combined with a synthetic wax. Usually that's all you need for 6 months or more of protection. The only downside is it isn't maybe as shiny as carnuba wax. But I think it's more than acceptable for what it offers. The wash mitt glides across the paint. And the water flies off when I use the blower to dry.

Yea we've been seeing mid 90's to 110 degree weather, and I know carnuba evaporates the second surface temp exceed 150 I think, Synthetic waxes and sealants are known for longevity and high heat tolerance. But now I know I can just use sealant for almost the same shine! Thanks for the tip!

No, I don't play soccer!
corrado, it was a pleasure
Your RX-F is sweet and super clean. OCD at its finest, LOL! Funny, we weren't the only RXs in the lot but the two sports certainly stood out.

Rayaans, actually in New Jersey, USA. Made a family trip, then met with Anita. Would do it again when the opportunity presents itself and maybe others in the vicinity can join in.

rayaans, I think it's a little far for you but you're more than welcome to come And Urkel (my 450h) might be offended with the insinuation he's on the feminine side, LOL!

Nostalgia indeed! There's nothing like the first RX, even today. I still see plenty of them on the road too. You got me digging through my old old pictures. A few from my RX family album:

Sandy, I've always thought of the RX as male. The 300 was called Hippo because he really looked like one, especially from behind, LOL! The 330 was named Sporty. Had to do with the performance package. And the 450h is Urkel because he's on the nerdy side

I traded in a Buick and never looked back. Love all their names. Love the photos too. Wish I'd kept some photos of mine. Never really thought of it till I found this blog.
