ArmyofOne Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hello LOC. I detailed the civic today (well kind of), did some new mods as well: ^blue plate frame... ^flaky! Brake upgrade! I know its not a BBK, but I like em. ^front plate flip :) It was on the bumper, now its on the grill! (took before i detailed)...More Blue! Comments? Questions? I am still not sure about the Blue plate frame on the back, I may take it off and go back to chrome. Also I did Blue LED lighting in the footwells, but its daytime so pix wont work till later. What you guys are seeing is the car completely BARE. No wax, no glaze, no Nothing. Only the clearcoat separates my paint from the elements now. I was instructed to strip the wax by the owner of the body shop thats painting my car. They said wax can cause adhesion problems, so just to be safe, I should strip it. I hit it with clay, then rubbing alch. and then just did Megs QD to give it a minimum of protection. July 4th weekend, I will Redo the process, Clay, polish, glaze, seal and wax. Goes in for paint on Monday under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake918 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It looks great Josh! B) I think I'd ditch the blue plate frame. It's such a modern looking car that in 2020, people will still be asking about your "new" car. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
