Bad Black Si

I spent 1pm-6pm today, washing the car, cleaning it. Removing oxidation and other nasty stuff from the paint, sealing, glazing, polishing, and i gave it two coats of wax. That wax smells good too, and now so does the car .

It was worth every second cuz i also spent a half hour just standing and admiring my work. IM so proud LOL ....
but seriously the car look REALLY good now..... onw im off for a nap

Good stuff man! I have a black civic too and nothing compares to the look you get just after waxing. Gotta love that mirror reflection.

Bad Black Si

yeah, the thing is like a mirror right now.... my mom was even surprised that the car could look that way.... she touched it and i flipped out hahahahaha LOL

SiR-Racer

If the weather stays nice I'll be doing mine on the weekend. It usually takes me 6-8 hours to do mine but now I have to do the rims as well and it is about time to clay it.

Sunshine

its an amazing feeling after spending all that time on detailing your car like that.
Good for you Roger.

OverKill

Spent 2 hrs washing mine today, gonna polish and wax it tomorrow so it is ready for Wednesday night

You are right, lookin at your reflection in a perfect reflection is a thing of beauty.

Regards,
OK

Damn... 5 hours? I wish I could put even 1 hour to do work on my car. :cry:

Roger, wanna detail mine?

Bad Black Si

yup, 5 hrs.... i took my time and wanted to do it right, and honestly, i dont think anyone coulda done a much better job....

Vince, the 240 or the lude?

I spent about 4 hours doing mine yesterday. Wash, tried that Turtle wax color cure stick on my scratch, polished, then waxed. What I hate though is a couple of hours later I gotta go out and dust it cuz dust is pretty noticable on black cars. Nice mirror finish, but I still gotta get a paint job.

I know what you mean about the dust and black cars. It just takes one day of driving to work and my car will already be covered in a nice layer of it.

Import Racer

That's why I always keep some kind of towel in my car

Cantonagod

I keep Meguiars quick detail and a terry cloth in my car at all times.

I love my California Duster. Even though my cars are white, it keeps the dust off - so when it rains, you don't get those nasty dirt marks.

Roger, wanna clean both cars for me?

BDiddy

i don't do that anymore, the last time i was admiring my hard work, a pigeon landed a package in my hood

!

Shredder

I can't wait to get my body work and the new paintjob done to my car.........it's kinda dumb waxin and polishin up a car that has the 1/4 panels rusted out!

PULOVR

That's what I use....
much easier to keep it clean longer.

http://www.calcarduster.com/autoOrig...Waterblade.asp Bought this last year.....10min and the car is dry, and ready for wax.

Does the SAME job, but half the price. Crapy Tire and Wall Mart have a knock-off that works just as good, (looks like the above link), cheaper too.....under $15. (I know, because I own both of them).
AND REMEMBER NOT TO WASH THEM!!
The dirtier they get, the better they work. If you wash them, the coating they added the the fibers is removed, and it does not work as well. That's why I bought the second one from Crapy Tire.
