Detailing is my other hobby :) My 2 big things are motorsports and shooting though. Both primarily at school, but motorsports stays with me over the summer. I race at various SCCA held autocrosses primarily. Up until now I've done it all in my street car...a '95 Integra I brought back from...

Since they are the same part number and are projector lights, than a simple plug and play kit would work. Just get the proper bulb size and make sure to wear rubber gloves when installing them.

I'd try something like spraying it down with water, then spraying some simple green/foaming degreaser and let it sit. Then take a scrub brush to it and see if that takes it off. Maybe a plastic putty knife if it is flaky. I assume your engine bay looks like this? If so, I would use some...

It is actually illegal to install an HID system on any car which did not come from the factory with them. This includes instances such as this which other vehicles of the same make/model came with it, but it is illegal for anyone but a licensed dealer to install an HID system on his vehicle as...

The reason that 90% of halogen projectors do not work with HID's is because the halogen projectors are designed to primarily disperse the light on the ground while providing a cutoff. The other reason is because of the generally chrome reflectors around the projectors. If you look at a set of...

AIO is exactly what it says, all in one. It's primary purpose is to clean the paint before sealing, however it does have some sealant properties to it. By using AIO, you clean the paint and remove minor contaminants/oils etc. from it, but also provide an ideal surface for the sealant glaze to...

I'd look for a bottle similar to the one located here: SprayMaster Heavy Duty Spray Bottle, Heavy duty sprayer, Spray master, Spray master Sprayer I've used the meguiars bottles (Came with my order about a week and a half ago) and i've managed to break one of the sprayers already :( I really...

Rough, but perfectly understandable. I'm paranoid about my car and can definitely see where the guy is coming from. Mine comes from the fact that Integras are primary theft targets which means that I keep it in my sights at all times and get paranoid if I see people near it. I really don't...

Yay green :) Sealant I'm addicted to Klasse HGS now. I'm beginning to be a big fan of putting it on with a red CCS pad on the rotary, and then wiping off with a MF dampened with a little ONR QD mix. Wax, I'll have to say it's damn close between SSII and Dodo's rainforest rub at the moment...

Megs 40 is pure win in a bottle. The best part is you can control the gloss of the finish so easily based on how much you put on. If you give it a gentle wipe, it's nice and dull, but if you lay it on thick, you get the classic mirror shiny vinyl. Vinylex is a close second though. I love...

It really depends on the paint. Modern paints/clearcoats really cannot be described as paint. They really are more of a 2 part epoxy versus what would technically be a paint like farm implement enamel. When clearcoat is sprayed onto a car, it has an 'activator' which is added to it which...

There was definitely some engineering that went into this which is epic wins in my book :) Reminds me of Dave's mid engine'd integra build

To own...something with that I want to kill you attitude...Hennessey Venom GT anybody? To detail...McLaren MP4-25

Reminds me a lot of the Jeep Hurricane concept from back in the day. Is it just me or is the toe on that back wheel really fubar?

It's a galvanized trailer, not stainless. There's a lot of dirt on that, but remember as well that some of it is soot from the stack on the tractor. The finish on it is very durable, and I'd personally go about it by spraying it down with a degreaser (simple green/purple power) and scrubbing...

The problem happens in getting them completely dry including the interior cells. If they are not completely dry, mold/mildew may form. After they are completely dry, then yes, sealing them up to prevent contamination is a good idea.

Technically no. On a normal basecoat/clearcoat paintjob, you spray the basecoat, and then within 24 hours you apply the clearcoat. This is because the clearcoat then chemically adheres to the basecoat. if you look at the directions provided with paint finishing systems, you will note that...

Mike goes over Meg's #7 in his single stage thread which may be something to look into. From the last picture, it looks like you're working on an Integra? If so, I'd be fairly cautious about doing any actual wetsanding as the clear is on its last legs. As Mike said, you're most likely just...
