    Picking up this little red civic

    Yup a friend from high school bought His wife one, Also had a tranny failure('99 too). :) I wouldn't turn down an additional set of arms to either A. wipe or B. buff LOL! Micro-Fiber towels are a God Send! I used to use 100% cotton towels and they'd smear like the dickens with Menz. MF's are...

    Picking up this little red civic

    Thank you VERY much. We have a '99 odyssey in the family(you'll see the reflection of it in one of the pics, BADLY neglected finish lol, it's a work horse) and it's very reliable. I think the transmission was the only item replaced on it next to brakes/wipers. Nothing else major. 'Bout 100k...

    Thanks, it's awesome to see the transformation and what you're capable of. This is by far THE WORST finish I'd dealt with to date. BUT: I knew deep down, I could get it back when I first saw it. Lots of little pits and stuff, but that happens from use. The clarity blew me away! All those swirls...

    Picking up this little red civic

    I toyed with the drivers side and passenger fenders today. I've had meguiars M105 and 205 for quite some time. I had troubles with dusting, leaving blobs of crud on the fenders making the use of QD necessary to get it off. 205 is like a dream. Goes on smoothly and finishes SO nicely! SO: I chose...

    Heavy oxidation.

    My civic looks like it was washed with a brillo pad. original finish from 1994...now, the tricky part on establishing if it still has clear is this: i used a little meg's 105 on a rag, polished the fender. the rag was BLOOD RED(car's color) but the finish where i tried 105 gleamed...so is the...

    filthy! picked it up yesterday. gave it a quick wash and a thorough interior cleaning. Nearly every piece of the interior was "tooth brushed" :) it was a filthy mess. after a very basic wash. i tried a section of the fender with 105 by hand and there's a massive shiny spot now lol! this car...

    Picking up this little red civic

    I'm definitely not worried about this car being un-reliable :). If I didn't screw with my previous one(had an Acura motor put in) it'd have lasted me another five years, easily! :). Thanks for the kind words.

    Picking up this little red civic

    Yeah, the theft rate is pretty alarming. I'm careful where I go. It'll remain stock with the exceptions I had mentioned previously. Going to $$ it now then register it tomorrow. :). On vacation this week ao plenty of time.

    Picking up this little red civic

    Thanks guys! :) this is a one owner car. Little old man owned it, which made me want it INSTANTLY :) My blue one was like this. One owner. These days, cars like this are rare so I jumped on it. Um, it'll get cleaned up...tinted lightly...maybe some rota gt-3 wheels and that's it. The 1/4's are...

    1. I don't want the payments 2. I always liked the little civic hatchbacks. :) neat little cars. The Yaris has been spot on and regularly gets over 400+ miles out of a tank with a gallon or so to spare.

    Picking up this little red civic

    one owner, 1994 it has a few dings and dents but i think the finish can come back. the interior needs a good cleaning and i'll probably buy some engine cleaner and take care of that too. this is probably going to replace my Yaris. i had a blue hatchback like this one which was a little nicer and...

    it's time to detail the Z06

    Alrighty, on my way to hooking up the white pad and some nano on the FLEX as the optical clarity is still rather good on the finish. + you're supposed to take the least abrasive method to deepen the gloss. I MAY finish with PO85RD depending how energetic I feel. I'm pretty beat. This is the...

    it's time to detail the Z06

    It should be good :) I'm dragging. ;) Inside is almost done. I love the interiors of the hardtop/Z06 C5. I'm not going to win as there will be 2000 mile waxers. Just detailing the car 'cause it needs it and going for a few hours. LOL, My Day won't improve with a top three finish at a show and a...
