1995 Honda Accord Daily Driver Extreme Makeover

[Wendell Jarvis]

This is a daily driven car, probably has not been waxed or properly taken care of in 7-10 years, nearly 200,000 miles...when I first saw the paint, I knew that it had potential to look great ( Metallic Flakes) just a matter of a whole lot of hard work to bring it back to life, interior wasn't real bad (seen worse) the one thing I did recommend (came close not posting this post because of this: the rim covers...They have to be replaced, a real eyesore, Jason agreed after he saw this finished detail....on to some pics

Looks good to me. I was thinking of trying the Sonus Cockpit and trim cleaner. After seeing your pics, you have made my mind up for me. Excellent detail and pictures.

Its a good product.......great value......doesn't leave a greasy or slimy look

Not bad for a 16 year old car with nearly 200,000 miles

Great job Wendell! I had a 1994 in frost white and had a local body shop scuff it and shoot it with 4 coats of pearl and 4 coats of clear...it probably needs some love about now if it's still on the road.
