Good price for 15450 Blue?
Hey all, tried on the 15450 in white this past weekend at the local boutique and really liked it! Was curious to get your thoughts on how much of a discount I should be aiming for.

Plexi maintenance
Do you guys have any interesting plexi maintenance tips? I've always used Mother's Mag & Aluminium Polish and Meguiar's Headlight Protectant on plexi. I know many swear by PolyWatch or even toothpaste but the only real requirement is that it be a very fine abrasive. Heck even CapeCod clothes should work. I just use Mother's because it's cheapest and easier to find. The Meguiar's Proctectant is probably overkill but it's always worked well on my cars. What's worked for you?
