Nice, yea I chatted with her about a month ago. CT is not to far for a meet.

Here's a before/after shot of my Acura and all the love of a full day in complete restoration.

Here you can see the actual metallic fleck in Flamenco Black Pearl.

dang man. nice work on the acura.. what did you use for that, zaino??

 

[Kansei]

That's some nice metallic mmm

 

[altspace]

Zaino....heh...I only use professional materials, for the most part anyway. Here's what I recall from the steps.

1. Wash, dry, claybar, wash again to remove excess residue, dry.
2. Tape off all moldings.
3. Porter Cable (PC) with heavy cutting pad and Poor Boys SSR2.5
4. Wipe down
5. PC with light cutting pad and PB SSR1
6. Wipe down
7. PB sealant
8. Wipe down
9. Liquid Glass sealant with diaper towel
10. Wipe down
11. Natty's Paste Wax
12. Wipe down

 

[genericuser]

You are in a whole other league my friend.

How much you charge?

 

[Kansei]

I wish I had the patience to go that extreme. The most I do is clay bar and then a 3-step (cleaner, sealant, wax).

Hmm, mines a little simpler
1) drive to carwash
2) go thru carwash
3) talk to babe at carwash
4) drive home.

Haha...nice Bruce. I avoid the carwash like it's the plague. Only type I'll bring my cars into is a touchless. I cringe when I see a $100K black Mercedes go through it. Swirl city after one pass.

We always have water bans in the summer so no carwash in the driveway. With Yellow enamel there is no swirl to worry about, to see anyway.

QEW is your answer to hand-washing with water bans. 2-4 gals of warm water is all it takes. That's like a toilet flush or two. I hand-washed my car all winter with that.

Looks awesome Josh! And I bet that was quite an upper body work out too.
How bout some tint and a headlight blackout?

Can u imagine how long this thread will get before April?

 

[altspace]

Thanks. Actually did a wheel swap back to stock for winter on the Acura. We might keep her for one more year.

 

[Skywlkr]

Anyone from CT interested in going? I'm thinking about it, but a 2+ hour drive would be nice with a few other cars.

 

[genericuser]

depending on what car I have by then, I'll be driving from Colchester CT skywlkr
