Nice shine, though. Wish I could get that same look on my Civic, but it's gold so it's not the same. _____________________________ Even Jesus drove a Honda. He just didn''''t talk about it.

RE: Rate my Shine - 4/18/2008 5:42:55 AM    Forty04 Posts: 14248 Joined: 3/8/2005 Status: offline Finally got around to putting some effort into a decent detail yesterday.  Didn't go all out, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. Products:  Meguires Gold Class Car Shampoo, 3M Glass cleaner, Mother's Back to Black trim treatment, Armor All, Black Magic Tire Foam, Royal Blue Carnauba Wax. Process:  I didn't have the time nor the energy to completely wheel the car, claybar or polish, but will do all of those next time.  All I did for this round was a good hand wash and dry, then broke out the orbital and laid on a nice layer of wax.  It turned out decent, but without running the clay and wheeling out the paint, there are still some imperfections.  Also have a TON of wet sanding to do on the front bumer...weak ass Suby paint.  Anyway, heres some pics _____________________________ Don''''t PM me with tech questions Antartic Blue Super Sports wagon with C.B. and optional Rally Fun Pack (in reply to itinerant) Post #: 22
