Default My Black 00 WS6 (56k = civic)

Well, I finally got the f-body I've always wanted. An Onyx Black WS6 6spd with ebony interior. The car is in great shape. I know it desperately needs to be lowered. Day pics soon! To keep it tech, any suggestions?





After wash, clay, scratch x, paint cleaner, polish, and cleaner wax. We ran out of sunlight. Still had TechWax to go. All stuff meguires. No buffers used. I really want to buy one and go to town on it. Anyway. Here are the pics:

Did you Scratch X the whole car? That stuff is so freakin abrasive. Its meant for spot touch-ups not the whole car. Even the paint cleaner is abrasive enough it should be done once or twice a year.

No, I used it to get off the really really bad water spots on the roof bar, hood, and spoiler. It is abrasive, and I used it in moderation. Previous owners left the car out without washing it.

About an hour and a half. It really helped. Got most of the water spots off of the car.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Today it got a fresh oil change, and a polyurethane transmission mount. Getting the headlight covers painted soon
