White Honda

[sparkie]

I went back to basics on this one with XMT polishes in the process… . It is a 1998 Honda Accord with 130K. Temperature was around 31* F, I hate cold weather. I like to think my wife for helping me out. Maybe I can make a detailer out of her yet…My pressure washer kick the bucket, yep she is old and I can’t get parts anymore for it. I think I got it around 1994…

Nice job Sparkie. rops: Looks like that old Accord has rust spots already. What all was on the carpet in the front floors? Folex worked on the floor mats.

I've got to try the DG #201 - your trim always looks amazing.

Nice job. Haven't seen much on the XMT polishes. Neat to know they work at 31°!

Bought my PW @ Homo Depot almost a year ago. It works quite well.

DG has a great line of products...I started out with M105 but it was acting up, it was gumming up on me...So I pulled out my XMT....

Bought my PW @ Homo Depot almost a year ago. It works quite well.

That is funny..(Homo Depot) Yeah I need a new one, it was 16 years old...

Nice work brotherrops:

Hey my brother, good to hear from you...I have learned a lot from you...Give me a call when your not busy....I'm trying to work out a deal with a car lot, I need your thoughts....

nice work. i think i took reading couple month ago on one of those and trunk read 105 so should be clear coated. my moms white civic read around 67 so gotta be single stage. i guess they put clear on accord and not civic. used to have gold 2002 accord. traded it for 04 black v6 6speed

did you had problem with trany?

Excellent job, just from the pic's I think the floormats had a very dramatic effect from your before & after shot's. I have a couple of clients down in Spartanburg, I'd love to stop by & meet you sometime, where are you located in Gaffney?
