First off i want to thank you all. I work in a shop, but most of my focus for work is interior detailing. I make time to wash my daily driver weekly and the inside is as clean as it can be. After doing some searching I found this site and wanted to treat myself to a nice wax for my daily. So today I brought her into the shop, hand washed her and used my new McKey's 37 clay bar, and topped her off with Collinite #915. I also have Blackfire Midnight Sun spray wax to help keep her up between washing, with Blackfires wet over ice kit on the way as well. She can definitely use a buff and polish, but for now im and more than happy with the results:

Looking good. The BF combo is one of my favorites and the MS Nuba is exceptional. I actually prefer it over Souveran.

Looks good. Certainly doesn't look like it has that many miles. Well done. Next up, tackle those headlights :)

Thank you. I probably wont seal until i can buff and polish. I may try to top the Collinite with midnight sun once it arrives, but i dont expect it to add to much to this silver but ill do it just to see

Welcome to Autogeek. Great job of keeping up that Honda. It doesn't look like it has so many miles.

Nice & clean. Looks like a well-cared-for DD. :props:

Seems like you already have a solid line up for up keep. You mentioned hand washing...is that part of maintenance as well? How about waterless/rinseless? If so, I highly suggest Wolfgang Uber Rinseless and/or D114.

Looks great for the mileage, see cars on Craigslist with 100,000 lower miles in horrible shape.
