Awesome! Thanks guys!!!

Great! That sounds like what I did, but it's been quite some time and I've forgotten. Do you think it would be better to use the white finishing pad instead of the blue light cutting pad for the SSR1 or EX, or just for the EX? Or is the blue pad fine for both of those?

It's been a while since I did any restorative detailing. My last project was a 91 MR2. I now have a 97 Forrest Green Integra that I would like to detail. I still have all the products I used to bring gloss to the paint of the MR2 I had. I have a bottle of SSR2.5, SSR1 and PoorBoys EX (or...

LOL. that's what I did. both my car and my wife's car are used CPO's. They're warrantied and cost significantly less than new. Really great savings. Can't think of a better way to own one. :awesome:

it was just getting later in the day. i'll try and take another pic with the garage closed and see how much of a difference it makes.

yeah, i'll admit that as much as they've improved, they're still not as reliable japanese cars.

thanks! i've also always like the Hartge type wheels. mine are Radenergie R10's

hehehehe. good eye. yeah, it's an old 300cc kawi stand up. not the quickest, but it's reliable and fun :righton:

thanks :) here's a close up

Thanks for the compliments guys. HEHEHE. Here you go. Some day I'll polish it up too, but it's paint is in pretty good shape. hope you like: a couple of action shots:

Thanks guys! Jason - good eye ;) Yup, it's a non-turbo. Nica - that's my wife's BMW Z4. As for the liquid souveran, do I apply that over the Poorboys EX? And do I apply it with the PC as well or do it by hand?

Final results:

I bought the Mr2 in December and the paint had no gloss to it. I spent the weekend washing, claybarring, polishing with SSR 2.5, SSR1, then sealed it with Poor Boys EX. It was quite tiring, but I'm glad I did it and I'm sort of hooked on detailing now. My goal was to get the car glossy, and with...
