I like the desert sage metallic color. I even tried to get my sister to buy a desert sage metallic IS, but she wouldn't do it.

The green on the Camry is really nice though. You should definitely go for it Isaac.

I was wondering... why do your parents hate black? Black is the color a detailer should drive. It is the only way you car can be a mirror.

Sorry, but I'll have to decline. I only detail 1 or 2 projects a year and it is usually an old car or one that has been ignored and poorly taken care of.

Your car has fresh paint, so no one should touch the paint for at least 2-3 months, so all the gases can air out of the paint. If your car was oven baked then ignore what I just said.

In a few months if you want to donate your car for me and some of the other so cal detailers to use for testing then I'll consider detailing it.

Lol, something about Chinese tradition and death and stuff. Both of them are pretty strict on it, as well as my GF's parents so I figured its for some special reason :shrug:

They still refuse to believe I'm semi-pro despite all of the cars being in as great a shape as ever. I figure darker car for a 1st new car so they would slowly appreciate it. I explained it all to my dad and he approves of the darker choice, as long as its not black for some reason

LOL superstition. My friend's family wouldn't buy a red car because 2 family members died in car accidents.
